The first set of new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Maps didn’t solve our severe case of Mapathy, so the Doctors at Activision have given us an appointment for June 3rd to give us another shot in the arm with a brand new set of Maps with The Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2 […]

WonderCon 2010: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Yesterday, I had a sit down with a very rare species – a female video game producer. Meghan Morgan is the producer on the brand new Activision title, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. She gave us a walkthrough of the the game and some tidbits. Here’s what I learned from our 1/2 hour discussion: The game’s plot […]
Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Has Landed and Blew Up XBox Live
Activision released their Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Package today. So hurray, no more “Mapathy.” On the downside they are charging a ridiculous $15 for 5 Maps – two of which we’ve already played to death in Modern Warfare 1. But I do love me some Crash. Not only that but people are reporting that this […]
Video Games – Gut Reaction: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Michelle’s View – Not so Great
Gut Reactions, Since I don’t have the time to write reviews of fully played games, well I do but by the time I’m done the game’s been out for months – for instance, I finally beat Uncharted 2 this weekend. I’m going to start giving you my gut reactions to games based on the first […]

VIDEO GAMES: Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare is Here!
I think the headline says it all. Every once in awhile a pop cultural phenomena happens that’s impossible to ignore. I really have nothing constructive to say about today’s release of Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare. I don’t have the game in my hot little hands yet. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, but then […]

VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Cynical Sequel Making at it’s Finest
Many gamers complain that Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick turned the venerable gaming company into an organization that lacks vision, creativity and heart. In his zeal to turn all of their IPs into annual franchises he’s sucked the soul out of the company. I always thought the criticism was a bit harsh, I mean Activision still […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Activision creates a gamer’s wish list
The weather outside isn’t frightful (yet). And there shouldn’t be any delightful fires in your chimney. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking about the holidays, when anticipated video games end up on wish lists and – hopefully – in stockings or under trees. Since you are so busy deciding who was naughty or […]
