After selling  70 bajillion copies of Modern Warfare 2 in a day, Infinity Ward has heard it from all gamers.  After playing through Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran, Modern Warfare 2 seems like a walk in the park.  Simply put, Veteran just isn’t hard enough, I mean, if I’m not walking into [...]

The most anticipated game of all time? The most pre-orders ever? The biggest selling next gen game ever? If even two of three of those questions are right, then chances are that you’ve had a week with Modern Warfare 2. Chances are also high that you’ve loved it.
Is it better than CoD 4? Is it [...]

Modern Warfare 2 was released earlier this week to universal praise. It has also hit a few speed bumps, regarding it’s controversial “No Russian” level, where you play as a CIA agent that has infiltrated a Russian terrorist cell that attacks a Moscow airport. Besides the controversial nature of the content in the level, gamers [...]

I don’t know what to think about the controversial level of Modern Warfare 2 called “No Russian.” On one hand, it’s obviously grotesque, but on the other, it’s supposed to be a narrative tool to show just how villainous the game’s “Big Bad” really is.
Me? I just think its Infinity Ward attempting to be “shocking” [...]

Remember that old dog Call of Duty 4? We did a big ole post on helping the newbies out in Call of Duty 4’s unforgiving, yet completely addicting multiplayer a couple of years ago.  Turns out, that little old post was and still is one of the most viewed pieces of content on this whole [...]

Halo Reach. Perhaps the last Bungie-made Halo game ever. Our last, best hope at a coherent narrative. Whatever your take on the next Halo game, very little is known about the game. Is it a squad based shooter? Is it something altogether different?

There’s a bunch of new games out this week. A bunch came out last week and the MOAB of games will drop like the mighty God of Thunder next Tuesday.  I don’t have time to play them all, but I did have time to play the first couple of hours of:

UPDATE: The original IW video was pulled, but we found another feed. We had it up, but decided to pull the alternate link down ourselves.
Also we have Infinity Ward’s response, after the jump.
……………………..
Wow.  This video just dropped on twitter by http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo and htp://twitter.com/Infinityward. It’s a YouTube Video “PSA” for the Fight Against Grenade Spaming starring [...]

UPDATE: My bad. The mission is called Overwatch.
Sometimes serendipity comes when you least expect it. I dunno if that ’s the case here, but if it’s not, then we need to seriously think about redefining “serendipity.” Because of some scheduling snafu’s Doc, Dave and I didn’t record the Red Show until this past Monday, October [...]

Haven’t you heard? Online petitions seem to carry a stigma. For the most part, the Ivory Tower gaming enthusiasts had set forth this idea that those that produce and possibly sign such petitions are nothing more than basement dwelling, Anime porn lovers that do nothing all day but sniff vending machine panties from Japan. Yes, [...]

Hybrid. When I think of the word hybrid as describing a video game, my inner “Crap Alarm” goes off. When I’m told that a game is a “something” with certain “something” aspects, I run the other way. Why, because that usually means that a game will try to do a couple of things, but end [...]

I’m still very early into Borderlands. It’s a fun game so far. Four player co-op is fun. Lot’s of fun combat. Lot’s of different and fun-to-use weapons.  Heck, even the RPG elements to this shooter have entertained so far. The only bad part?
