What you missed this long weekend

We hope your chocolate eggs were delicious, and that you feel terribly guilty for eating all of them in one day.

To improve your mood, here is a roundup of this Easter weekend’s gaming news.

Call of Duty: Ghosts adds a movie star to its narration pack

Following the announcement that Snoop Dogg’s voice will be available as DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision has thrown in another entertainment star to guide gamers through multiplayer levels – actor R. Lee Ermey.

Ermey is best known for his roll as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, and his inclusion makes a bit more sense than Mr Dogg’s.

Both voice packs are available from today, 22 April 2014 on Xbox Live.

Batman: Arkham Knight may be delayed

There has been word from fans who attended the DC All Access Panel at WonderCon that Arkham Knight will be delayed until 2015.

The delay is still a rumour at this stage, with the official website for the game still posting a 2014 release, but the news reportedly came from DC editors, Mike Cotton, Shelly Bond (in charge of Vertigo) and Jim Chadwick (in charge of digital) – all of whom are reputable sources on all that is Batman.

Artist and actor leave Naughty Dog

The Last of Us’ lead artist, Nathan Wells, and actor Todd Stashwick – who provided the voice of an unrevealed character in the Uncharted 4 teaser – have both left Naughty Dog.

Wells has joined Giant Sparrow, the developer behind The Unfinished Swan, while Stashwick’s character has been recast.

Their departures follow those of Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond, who both left the studio in March.

Nintendo Gameboy celebrates its 25th anniversary

Released in 1989, the Gameboy has given gamers 25 years of handheld joy. It was the foundation for the handheld units we see today, such as the 3DS and the PS Vita, and was released with games like Super Mario Land and Tetris.

The Gameboy competed with other handhelds like the Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx and the TurboExpress. (And the Nokia N-Gage *giggle*).

Despite being technically inferior, it beat them all. Long live the Gameboy.
