Amazon still has Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 For the Xbox 360 With $20 Game Credit for $59.99 + free shipping = $59.99 shipped! This game is off the hook. I started playing it last night. The Campaign (single player) is folds better than the first and offers almost endless replay thanks to the online multiplayer and coop missions. The $20 credit will be placed in your Amazon cart and must be used towards a game purchase in the future.
War. With the onset of this weeks Veteran’s Day and the release of Modern Warfare 2, Activision is set to donate $1 Million to create a new non-profit organization to assist war veterans and soldiers find jobs and mesh back into society.
Formed by a multitude of retired vets, the Call Of Duty Endowment or CODE is a great idea and a thoughtful way to pay tribute to this nations war heroes. Finally being quoted in a positive light, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick had this to say to the Washington Post:
“The joblessness rate that [veterans] should have should be far less than the national average, not more.” “How do you expect people to actually join the military if when they leave the military they can’t integrate back into the free market they’re supposed to be protecting?”
Well put Bobbo. It’s nice to see this type of thing take shape around what most civilians take for granted everyday. Freedom.
Hard to believe, but the launch date for DJ Hero is less than 24 hours away. Be prepared to drop some serious cash, though, since the normal version starts at $120, while the Eminiem/JayZ Renegade version will cost you $200.
IGN already knocked out a review and gave it a 9.0. Check the video below.

Amazon has a preorder special on the highly anticipate DJ Hero Bundle with Turntable video game for the Xbox, Nintendo Wii and PS3/2. It’s $118.99 – $10 coupon (DJHERO10) + free shipping = $108.99 shipped! This game include a turntable, the game and a gaming experience like no other.
Aren’t we excited! Video game to movie translations can be an iffy thing at best, but it appears as though Activision is looking to take it’s hugely successful franchise to the silver screen. Do we think it will be comparable to other video game movies?
News of this had recently been contrived from Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling’s Twitter feed stating:
First round of meetings in Paris wrapped. Grabbing lunch with Xavier Gens, director of the Hitman film while in town. Talking game films.
Take what you will from that, nothing has been officialized yet but is has the blogs surmising for sure. How will they translate multi-player into the movie I wonder?
Looks like perhaps EA wants to get in on this whole Modern Warfare madness. Isn’t that what Battlefield: Bad Company is? Good thing for EA that Activision doesn’t have an exclusive Modern Combat license right!
The rumblings going around consist of an ex-EA production intern from 2008 posting somewhere that he worked on a Medal of Honor: Modern Combat title doing some design and software engineering. Blah. Other rumor blurbs include a possible real life tie-in to the game via Operation Anaconda, which was an actual mission held in Afghanistan from back in 2002.
The only thing that is confirmed is that there is another “undefined” Medal of Honor game in the works according to EA CEO John Riccitiello. The last game in the Medal of Honor series was Airborne from 2007.
All this makes sense, but we’ll have to wait and see what rises to the top.
In what will likely make Activision CEO Bobby Kotick say something disturbing, Microsoft is releasing a Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition version of the Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard drive.
For $400, you get a mildly cool “gun metal gray” Modern Warfare 2 colored Xbox 360, a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers (yet to be seen), and a copy of the standard version of the game.
Not a bad value given the size of the hard drive which at this time will not be sold separately.
Get yours on 11.10.09 and you can also pre-order it now.
You know what they say, necessity is the mother of all invention. So it’s no surprise that when Guitar Hero 5 launches later this year the Wii (it lacks significant storage options) version will be the first game ever to access content, on the fly, from the SD card slot. And now that the SDHC cards are compatible, up to 32GB, Guitar Hero fans will be able to transfer all their previous songs, for a small fee mind you, to an SD card enabling them to access their entire Guitar Hero library without any significant loading times or disc changes. And since Guitar Hero brings with it a vast array of different titles as part of their DLC, Activision says that a 32GB SDHC card can hold up to 800 songs.
Contrary to just about every video game retailer’s pre-order page, including Amazon, Tony Hawk and Activision’s latest skateboard game RIDE will officially arrive on November 17th. I’m still hoping the $120 price tag will remain in effect, or less, for tis it is not a holiday shopping season to be joyous about (unless of course you scored a job, didn’t get laid off or are making more money than this time last year). Europe and the UK will see RIDE arrive 3 days later on November 20th.,
