Victoria developed a deep love for video games watching her brothers barrel their way through Goldeneye 007. She will unashamedly spout forth all sorts of niche Zelda lore to anyone who will listen (and even at times to those who won't), and makes the best pancakes you have ever seen.

Xbox head Phil Spencer has shed more light on what Microsoft's recent acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision will mean for the series, and no, it isn't about using timed exclusivity deals for the franchise in order to sell consoles.Of course, during last night's interview, the topic of Call of Duty came up. This series has often been front and centre of the ongoing trials and tribulations of recent times.

"I don't want you to feel like there is content you're missing out, there's skins you're missing out, there's timing that you are missing out on," Spencer said."That's not the goal." So, what is the goal? In Spencer's words, when it comes to Call of Duty, it is about"100 percent parity across all platforms as much as can for launch and content".

Spencer clarified that by 'as much as can' in this case means things such as frame rate and resolution, which may differ if a console is physically unable to hit the same performance as others."But there is nothing else," he continued."We have no goal of somehow trying to use Call of Duty to get you to buy an Xbox console. I want the Call of Duty nation to feel supported across all platforms.

Spencer noted that Xbox has been"on the other side" of certain franchise exclusivities before. At this point, he mentioned the recent beta of Modern Warfare 3, which was available to PlayStation users before it was then able to be accessed by the wider Call of Duty community.Nintendo removes videos of modded Super Mario Bros.
