Having more of something can be a hit or a miss depending on what that something is. More cake is always a good thing, while more cavities is not so good. Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to Valve’s hugely popular zombie genocidal shooter that was released last year. Can more zombie killing be considered a good thing, or does it feel just like the same ole thing with some new bells and whistles?

Rockstar Games dropped the finale to the GTA IV saga with The Ballad of Gay Tony a few weeks ago and, amongst plenty of competition, concluded with a mere whimper.
It’s not a bad expansion pack. On the contrary, it’s actually rather good and one deserving the Rockstar insignia stamped on it, but compared to GTA IV proper and The Lost and Damned expansion it can only ever hope to hold up as third place.

Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao defeats Miguel Cotto for the WBO Welterweight Crown. Funny, EA predicted this already with their simulation video below…. The simulation outcome saw Pacquiao get the decision over Cotto through 12 Rounds 118-109. The real fight on Saturday, November 14th was stopped in the 12th after two knockdowns to Cotto during the fight left his face a bloody mess. Another successful prediction made by EA, shows how accurate their data collection has been over the years.

Final Fantasy XIII will feature a new battle system (which has been the recent trend of new Final Fantasy games), summon system, HD graphics, and a storyline that’s promised to be an “emotional experience”.
The title will be made available on both the PS3 & Xbox 360, which is one of the first times a Final Fantasy title is being launched on multiple platforms on the same day.

No details yet on how many discs the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be packaged as its expected the PS3 version will simply take up 1 Blu-Ray disc.

With Street Fighter IV & King of Fighters XII rejuvenating the fighting genre, it was time for the Tekken series to step into the ring and show other fighting games how it’s done. With the largest character roster in Tekken history, HD graphics, and competitive online modes, is Tekken 6 the best fighting game our current generation of consoles has to offer?
Not a fan of spoilers? Then you may want to skip the above Modern Warfare 2 video that “everyones” talking about. In this highly controversial scene you’ll understand why most gamers who have seen and even played this level of MW2 are a bit traumatized.
Infinity Ward released the official launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and boy, is it a doozie.
The gameplay footage we see in the trailer spotlights some previous footage that Infinity Ward released mashed in with some new footage, such as the satellite blowing up in space, into a single trailer with a very fitting soundtrack. Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” was chosen as the song to help amp up the hype level for Modern Warfare 2, and to be honest, I see no other song more fitting than that one. Not only does its beat bring out the emphasis how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be, but also Eminem’s lyrics are befitting of the game, specifically towards the end,
Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.

Nervous? With this!
