Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Map Pack $15
Ridiculous. Back when the first string of maps for mutliplayer games first kicked off on Xbox Live, people screamed that $10 was too much. Those who followed the Ghost Recon saga remember that mess well as UbiSoft began the trend of pricing that has come standard. Now, Activision has taken it a step up. Realizing they [...]

Friday, January 8, 2010
At CES, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Game Room, where friends could replicate the arcade experience, only with Avatars. The free download (for Xbox Live Gold users) allows players to have their own arcade, but of course, the games are anything but free.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009
For a new player, jumping into a Call of Duty match can always be a struggle. Many of the factions wear similar looking gear and suits, making it difficult to tell teams apart. The only savior is knowing the enemy shows up as red above their avatar and teammates green. What you likely haven’t thought of [...]

Saturday, December 5, 2009
Japanese gamers looking to enlist in the latest crusade of Soap and Ghost in Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 are slightly miffed at publisher Square/Enix. In particular, the No Russian mission, the controversial level which has the player shooting civilians at an airport, cannot be skipped. Not only that, the player cannot fire a shot, as [...]

Wednesday, December 2, 2009
Another solitary week for the Arcade, this time a flashback to only a generation ago. Call of Duty Classic At launch, Xbox 360 owners were given Call of Duty 2, and were likely wondering what happened to the original. That game stayed on the PC, and up until today, never saw the light of day on consoles. Given [...]

Many of you Call of Duty fans that haven't invested in either the Prestige or Hardened edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may have been wondering how long you would have to wait before you could get your grubby paws over the Classic edition of the game, which was bundled as part of the limited edition packs.

Monday, November 23, 2009
It is in the nature of business to try and find new ways to increase profit, and open new lines of revenue. I believe most people know this. However, shouldn’t it also be in the interest of companies to not alienate consumers? Not try to price gouge them at every chance they get? I ask these [...]

Friday, November 13, 2009
Activision/Infinity Ward’s latest entry into the Call of Duty series pushed an incredible 4.7 million copies according to Activision on its first day of sales, US and UK sales included.

Since its inception, with multiple developers, different wars, and different locations, one thing has remained consistent with Call of Duty: It was a first-person shooter. A separate player match playlist inside Modern Warfare 2 is going to switch things up however. The unspecified private (that’s important) multiplayer mode will take place in a third-person view. You [...]

Thursday, October 22, 2009
The moment I read the title of this game and the tag line, “Prehistoric Survival Action”, fond memories of Dino Crisis flooded my mind (ed. note: Or at least just the first two games, I hope). I then hastily opened up some screenshots and those memories were dragged out into the street and shot, being [...]

Monday, October 19, 2009
Want to know why many people prefer the PC version of many popular games these days? Dedicated servers, hosted by the true geeks among us. Kudos to them, spending the money to host games, allow for user generated content, custom game modes, and more. It is likely the reason Valve shooters seem to dominate the [...]

Saturday, October 3, 2009
Are you worried that Modern Warfare 2 is going to bomb? Worried that Infinity Ward would be stupid enough to make it not play like every Call of Duty before it? Well then you’ll just have to take it on good faith that both of those questions are answered on the positive side of things, [...]
