Modern Warfare 2 may nearly be upon us, but let's take a look at the game that started it all on the 360...
I realise that Infinity Ward has had quite a bit of coverage of late on our fair website, but as the excitement builds towards Modern Warfare 2’s release it’s fascinating to take a look back to the first iteration of the series on the then next-gen.
Call Of Duty 2 was ...
We can’t get enough of Modern Warfare 2 and all the new tweaks that Infinity Ward is making. Something we did manage to get a quick look at in LA was the new Accolades that will be awarded to players who gain specific awards during matches. Here’s a run down of the ones we saw:
Highest kill death ratio
Most kills
Most kills of higher rank
Fewest deaths
Killed entire enemy team
Most UAVs
Most frag grenade kills
Most explosions survived
Most weapons used
No deaths from behind
Most pistol kills
Most time ...
And who says good games can't be found on Xbox Live Arcade? After Microsoft's 'Summer Of Arcade' campaign, sales have jumped 200% compared to last year. Not a huge surprise when you take into account that the period in question featured the likes of Shadow Complex, Trials HD, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled, The Secret Of Monkey Island and the mighty Battlefield 1943 (although Microsoft doesn't officially count that), with the first three managing to break into ...
After a ridiculously long delay, a new (and very special) episode of the X360 has gone live. We would like to say sorry for the wait but can promise you that we will return to our fortnightly schedule as of now!
To listen, go to the iTunes Music Store, search for X360 and subscribe or simple click HERE.
Because 2010 needs more games, Activision announced today that Bizarre Creations' Blur has been pushed back to early next year. Activision CEO Mike Griffith said the delay was to "fully optimize the vision set out to create for Blur including a distinctive and groundbreaking multiplayer mode that will appeal to a broad audience." While we're all in favour of a game being held back to ensure it's the best it can be, we wonder how we'll ever have the time to ...
No Zombies Please, We're Infinity Ward
At the recent LA event where Infinity Ward finally got around to showing off some multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2, we caught up with lead multiplayer designer Todd Alderman to ask one very simple question: what exactly do you think about the zombies in World At War? A slightly provocative question given the history between Infinity Ward and Treyarch, granted. But one we felt deserved at least half an answer, and we suppose that's sort of ...
Activision just sent us through some rather ace biographies of the songs in Guitar Hero 5, written by Guardian music maestro Rob Fitzpatrick. We thought we'd share a few of the best ones with you, given that a fantastic effort has clearly been made with them.
A hairy, possibly insane friend of mine told me that Red Faction: Guerrilla's multiplayer is better than Halo's, the other day. I don't think it is, but it's a better effort than other games of its ilk – DLC for the game, released this week, adds more modes to the third-person shooter.
Let's do this...
Microsoft’s Major Nelson and Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling at a recent LA event revealed that a new SKU of the 360 would be making its debut alongside the release of the incredibly popular Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The special edition Modern Warfare console will come with a copy of the game (obviously), two controllers and, most importantly a whopping 250GB hard drive. The SKU will go on sale the same day as the game and will retail ...
Though a little late, a thread on our forum essentially turned into a GTA vs. Saints Row argument, this week. Frankly, I fall on the side of GTA – but this is a bigger argument than comparing GTA IV and Saints Row 2 on their basic qualities. How, fundamentally, do you feel about the direction of both franchises? Going forward, which open world series looks more appealing to you?
Bethesda has announced that a rather spiffy Premium Theme for Fallout 3 will be released on October 1st. The good news? If you've already purchased every piece of Fallout 3 DLC on 360 by September 22nd, you get it for free!
EA just announced another entry in its well-received skating sim series, Skate 3, to be released in May of next year. The third game will take place in a brand new location, Port Carverton, with the emphasis being placed on co-op play and team challenges.
Know what I'm excited about more than anything? The possibility of a new Star Wars: Battlefront game. After a bunch of weird images of a 'Dark' Obi-Wan were leaked to various news outlets, earlier in the year, while footage of a proposed 3rd game in the series by Free Radical was released on YouTube, my anticipation was piqued. Sadly, it was at this time that Free Radical bit the dust – last week, though, LucasArts talked about the possibility of a new next-gen title in the series for the first time in ages.
