Add Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to the list of really freakin’ cool games that I’m not going to get my hands on until at least Christmas.
AND, apparently I’m the only person who hasn’t played this game since as of the 18th of this month, Modern Warfare 2 had taken in an astounding $550 million dollars worldwide in the first five days.
Five. Days. $550 million dollars. Wow.
What’s even more impressive [and I know you're thinking, "What could be more impressive than $550 freakin' million dollars?!"] is that “Modern Warfare 2’s launch beat all previous first-and five-day entertainment industry box …read more

See? Sometimes you can actually learn interesting things when you read Perez Hilton.
This little shit storm was apparently aired all over Twitter when Courtney Love tweeted: WE are going to sue the shit out of ACtivision we being the Trust the Estate the LLC the various LLCs Cobain Enterprises.”
Ms. Love claims that Activision didn’t have permission to use Cobain’s likeness for the avatar in Guitar Hero 5 and she wasn’t exactly calm with her tweets. Go through her twitter stream and you’ll have the pleasure [*snort*] of reading all about her anger and disgust in Activision’s general direction.
This is all …read more

I am horrible at Guitar Hero. Horrible. Easy setting kicks my ass.
But, with the announcement of the addition of Johnny Cash and Ring of Fire to Guitar Hero 5, I just might consider grabbing up a guitar and giving the game another go.
New to the game is the Electric Honky Tonk Bar venue which gives you the chance to use any instrument controller to rock out to Ring of Fire and if you’re good enough, you can unlock the ability to sing as Johnny Cash himself.
The game will hit store shelves in September on the PS3, Wii, PS2 and Xbox …read more

I don’t play Guitar Hero.
I played it a couple of year ago, got my ass handed to me and decided that I didn’t want to play anylonger. That’s right. I took my toys and went home. I’m a sore loser. What’s it to ya?
I digress. What’s new, right?
I’ve got screenshots of Guitar Hero Metallica for the Wii. Since I don’t have a Wii and won’t have one unless someone decides to give me one, you guys will have to tell me how it is. I’ll trust you. Like you’d lie to me. *snort*
On to the pretty pictures:

I think this game is being released for every single platform known to man:Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS.
I’ve never been very much of a fan of the whole comic book scene [though I do have an unnatural amount of lust love for Wolverine] but I know that there are a lot of people out there whole eat this stuff up.
Who am I to keep these pretty, pretty pictures from you guys?
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is set to hit this fall.

I did a lot of research on the subject of why I am so upset with the release of Call of Duty 5. Then I realized all I really needed to say was that Activision sucks!
Let me explain how I got there.
First Activision, with the help of Infinity Ward, launched Call of Duty. It was one of the better WWII shooters for its time. Unfortunately, like all good things, when they make money they are beaten to death. The WWII shooter is one of those good things.
By 2006, I was shell shocked and suffering from battle …read more

This just in: Activision has finally shown the first trailer for Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back, and it’s via Jeux-France. Enjoy the bloodshed.

The public beta test for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is coming, and boy, everybody’s itching for the details. According to the official community site, there will be 60,000 public beta slots available. Half of the slots will be given to FilePlanet subscribers, and the other half to people with free FilePlanet accounts.

If you guess I belong to the second half since I’m such a cheapskate, you’re correct.

The ETQW public beta client won’t work without a valid beta key. To get this beta key, you’ll have to log in a special ETQW mini-site that will go up in …read more
