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.
No more pennies to weigh down the needle from skipping, Activision’s DJ Hero is the real deal without scratching your vinyls. Growing up in the late 80’s to early 90’s everyone either wanted to be a DJ, were friends with a DJ or tried scratching on their grandparents old turntables. Heck, my older brother, DJ Gonz, mixed it up in the 90’s snatching up every milk crate he knew of within a 10 mile radius. Fifteen years later, how will this DJ simulation game compare to the real thing?
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 fans will be glad to know that until November 1st, that can pick up Map Pack 1, 2 and 3 for $4.99 each! Or 400 Microsoft points for those who don’t understand the math behind them. Myself included.
I think he wants to be friends... SHOOT HIM!
As much as I enjoy a good round of multiplayer mode, I am an old-school gamer at heart. With that said, I grew up playing games along with my brothers and majority of the games that came out in the 80s were co-op. There’s just something about working together with family and friends that give me a much more richer multiplayer experience than just shooting the hell out of them.
Infinity Ward realized how important co-op play is becoming and is introducing a new mode called ‘Spec-Ops’. Spec-Ops is a mode that is completely apart from the single-player campaign. You and your buddies work together to complete different objectives across multiple maps. The objectives vary from simply clearing out a map of enemies, to getting down a snowy mountain the quickest on your snowmobile. Players can even change individual difficulty settings, so no longer will men have to play on casual mode while their girlfriend holds the controller upside down screaming “HOW DO I MAKE THAT MAN DEAD?!”
Out goes the old. In comes the new. This 250GB Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console was revealed at an exclusive preview event in Los Angeles where guests were the first to experience “Modern Warfare 2” multiplayer gameplay on Xbox LIVE. It will hit store shelves on November 10th, 2009.
Worst...Price Drop... EVER?!
With Guitar Hero 5 releasing last week, it’s now time to bring down the price for its previous version, Guitar Hero: World Tour.
UK video game retailer GameStation joined in the bandwagon of dropping the price for GH:WT, but some skeptics might think they were a little too cautious with their price drop.
Last year’s Guitar Hero: World Tour was a huge success for the Guitar Hero franchise as it was turned into an obvious direction: playing in a band. Even though the title specifically mentions the guitar, music-based games such as Guitar Hero have become more than just two people wailing on their axes. It has now become a social experience that brings people together under one roof to rock the night away. Guitar Hero 5 is the latest iteration of Activision’s popular music game franchise. The question is: Is Guitar Hero 5 the latest and greatest?
For those who aren’t hip, (myself included) DJ AM a popular Disc Jockey has passed away at the age of 36 in his NYC apartment. While current speculation is that DJ AM was found with prescription drugs and a crack pipe near his body, this may be a result of his “devastating” break up with recent girlfriend, Hayley Wood.
DJ AM will have featured mixes throughout the DJ Hero soundtrack including: “Poison” and “Last Night a DJ saved my life”. DJ AM will also be a playable character in DJ Hero. DJ Hero is an upcoming Activision game set for release on October 27th.
The Conduit who? Looks like the FPS game is going to completely change for the Wii this holiday season as Activision announced this morning that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is making it’s way to the Nintendo Wii.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a port of Infinity Ward’s 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. No other information was given besides the fact that it’s going to be released on the Nintendo Wii. As soon as we hear more regarding this title, we’ll be sure to let you all know. Now just keep your fingers crossed there will be multiplayer and it won’t require friend codes.
Infinity Ward released a first look at the multiplayer mayhem we could expect when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released this fall. In the video that was released, we learn that players will now be able to customize their kill streaks. If you’ve played either Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Call of Duty: World at War, you’ll know that the kill streaks were pretty much decided for you.
Judging by the screen that pops up during the video, it seems there will be a total of 15 unlockable kill streak perks. As the game is still currently in production, that number could possibly change. The video, which can be found after the break, focuses on the AC130 kill streak perk.
