VIDEO GAME NEWS: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Trailer is Here at Last
It’s finally here, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 full trailer and it’s very tasty. I’m not sure what is supposed to be gameplay or or CGI cut scenes.
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero 5 Coming this fall
The folks at Activision need to “slow their roll” because they are killing the Guitar Hero franchise with all of these releases. How many does Guitar Hero 5 make it? 4 or 5 different titles in 4 months? None of them compatible with each other? Let’s see we have Guitar Hero: Metallica which came out […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Are You Ready to be a DJ Hero?!
It had to happen sometime, Activision has officially announced DJ Heroes and Band Heroes at their annual Gamers Day event in LA which, strangely enough the Weasels never invite me to. But then calling them weasels probably means I won’t be getting any invitations anytime soon. I hate to say it but I’m intensely curious […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero Smash Hits New Tracks Announced!
Instead of giving us the ability to import songs from previous games into whatever current Guitar Hero is available the fine weasels at Activision are giving us a goofy greatest hits collection, called Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.

I didn’t have that problem with Spiderman Web of Shadows. The game grabs you from the beginning and manages […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Guitar Hero World Tour Vs. Rockband 2
Since Activision isn’t going to send me my Guitar Hero World Tour kit for another few weeks, I’m not going to be able to review it for awhile. Which is good because I’m still stuck on Rockband 2 a game I don’t think I’ll ever be able to finish because I have over 300 tracks […]

VIDEO GAMES: Call of Duty: World At War, Beta Impressions
I’ve been playing the new Call of Duty World At War Private beta for the last few days and I’ve come away pretty impressed. Many who read Eclipse know of my love of Call of Duty 2 and 4. I liked the single player campaign in COD 3 but thought Treyarch broke the multiplayer. So […]
