When ‘COD: World At War‘ hit the scene last year everyone and their little brother was ultra psyched for the Zombie board. After all, who doesn’t like slaying zombies, let alone Nazi Zombies. Now their first board, ‘Nacht der Untoten’ (German for ‘night of the dead’) has been transposed to the iPhone where you can engage in up to 4 player coop game play over WiFi (2 if Bluetooth).
At $9.99 it’s a bit steep, especially when you consider it’s just one board and the same board found on the console version. They’ve also got plans to roll out additional Nazi levels which will no doubt cost you.
In what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases ever, today has found that MW2 will have two separate strategy guides. One of them is the normal guide that you’d find for most all games, but the other is the “premium” strategy guide.
Oh snap you might say?
All that is different between the two besides the price difference is that the “premium” one will hard bound and that it will divulge how to get all of the achievements and trophies.
I personally think it is a waste to buy a guide for any COD game but from a business standpoint, which it always is, this is a great idea. Milk them udders!
Say it like Satan would. Slow and bellowing…BUY NOW!!!!

Earlier this week we got wind of a special edition Modern Warfare 2, called the Prestige Edition, and it includes a pair of night vision goggles amongst other things. Additionally, the community manager for the game did a little unboxing on video. At the time, though, he failed to mention the price, but we now know that it will cost a whopping $150 when the game is released on November 10th. That sure is pricey and with a whole bunch of other games that are coming out from Activision for the same price it’s gonna be a serious coin fip and then some for parents and children with not so padded expense accounts.
I think it’s fair to say that I’m pretty excited about Modern Warfare 2, which releases 11.10.09. But I don’t think there is any amount of hype that can get me to spend the coin necessary to obtain the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition. Don’t get me wrong it’s cool as all get up but I just don’t see myself strapping on a pair of night vision goggles, especially here in LA, only to get the evil eye and probably arrested by LA’s finest.
You can hit the unboxing video below to see what else is inside or read this: MW2 night vision goggles + a “Soap” MacTavish head display, art book, hardened edition of the game and a token for downloading the first Call Of Duty from Xbox Live or PSN.

Unfortunately, they’ve only showed off a little bit of actual gameplay footage, which is very disappointing to say the least. But given CODs past titles I’m sure it will be kickass. Video below.
