In case you haven’t found out on your own, a teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released. Plenty of people have already submitted their analyses of the trailer, so I won’t bother with whatever crap I may think it involves. I leave it for you to interpret the video as you wish.

Here is the link to the trailer online on the main site:

Here are some forums and videos of pretty detailed opinions for the trailer:

I can’t wait for the new MW to come out - 11/10/09!

The February issue of Japanese trade magazine Kinejun announces a big screen anime version of Namco’s RPG Tales of Vesperia.

The movie version is slated to be released this year by Kadokawa Pictures. Director Kanta Kamei is helming the anime, and seiyu Kosuke Toriumi will be lending his voice to the project.

Well it is now time for the new packs for the newest installment in the Call of Duty franchise. Like I posted last night, there will also be addons to the zombie goodness, and here are the details.

Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 hits the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in March with four new maps, including one for the game’s cooperative Nazi Zombie mode.

Nightlife is a multiplayer map in war-ravaged Berlin.

Knee Deep will have you attacking fortified Japanese positions in a jungle setting.

Station takes place in a bombed-out underground subway station.

Finally, Verrückt (Zombie Asylum) expands the zombie-killing co-op mode with more weapons, new Perks-a-Cola machines, electroshock defenses and endless, attacking legions of undead.

No word on the price for the pack, but I do like that they’re not just adding new settings, but tweaking the zombie mode.

I feel awesome finding this out before my zombieloving friends. CoD5’s wonderful zombie level has been plaguing, literaly, my halls tv screens for weeks. Just trying to get to the highest level, further and further we push. From a realiable sorce, the official Call of Duty forums, there is talk about zombie updates coming with the upcoming DLC.

Dear Alarmed Residents of Texas, Indiana and Illinois:

We hope that rumors of a new zombie level being included in the first Call of Duty: World at War DLC map pack wasn’t what sent you into a recent frenzy (http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/Road_signs_warn_of_zombies). Nazi Zombies scare us too, which is why we’d like to give you a heads-up to stay tuned for official word regarding upcoming DLC. Yes, there will be a new wave of undead coming soon and – while we appreciate everyone’s concern (and we don’t condone vandalism) – we assure you that these zombies will only be found in the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack. Stay tuned for more details!

Regards,

Your friends on the Call of Duty: World at War team.

Why residents or Texas, Indiana, and Illonois, I do not know, maybe they are just more succeptible to zombie attacks then us New Yorkers haha

For those of you unfortunate ones to not have played this quirky little level, here is a video for you.

With the release of the long awaited game not to far Capcom released a demo of RE5. the game’s demo is the first 3 levels in the game. the game play is similar to RE4 and so is the game layout. The game is kept fresh with moments that break the usual RE mold. Your Ai aid is smart in RE5 being able to heal you and sometimes waste bullets needlessly. It is clear that capcom met for this to be a co-op like Left 4 Dead. the gore in the game is amazing, but you will just ave to play the game to see that for yourself. RE5 should be a worthy successor of RE4.

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube is an incredible Game comprised of 3 parts. The control scheme is well layed out and is very easy to pick up and play.Unlike most Resident Evil games this is a third person shooter, so that means YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOUR GOING!!!! Yay! That’s right no more preset camera angles that make you run into big trouble or make it difficult to get somewhere. Another good change is that the game is all about the weapons but still has that niche that makes you go into survival mode.

You start off as Leon Kennedy, a good guy that used to work for R.P.D (Raccoon Police Department), survived Resident Evil 2, and now protects the presidents family. You are sent to a remote village in Spain to find and save the president’s daughter, Ashley Graham. Ashley Graham has been kidnapped by a terrorist group called Los Illuminados and is said to still be alive. You are driven by two Spanish police that you assume are going to help you on your assignment but are soon killed leaving you stranded. This is where the game really starts to take off. You end up fighting for your life from the beginning and really start to understand what you got yourself into. From here on out you have your trusty 9mm handgun. The best part about the weapons is that each one has a laser-sight, this makes it EXTREMELY fun to aim, shoot, and kill. unlike other games where you hope that it’s going to hit dead on the vital areas. You’ll start collecting things right away and you’ll continuously get a couple of different manuals to help you figure out anything that makes you scratch your head. After finding the “Princess”, killing some BIG enemies, and the head chief of the village, you go on to the second part of the game.

This part is comprised of a VERY large castle with many secrets, including some that lead to the origination of the “las plagas” (the parasites that are in control of the village people). Now when I said the castle is BIG I meant it, you’ll head down creepy corridors with portraits that watch you walk by, walk into a few traps, and even be shot at with catapults (and yes you can take those out too, only if you have good aim, that is.) as you make your way through the castle you’ll start to learn about the owners, which believe me you kinda don’t want to know. Eventually Ashley will be taken away from you and you’ll be chasing her scream back and forth around the castle. Thus leading to the BIG boss, The last remaining member of the castle’s royal family. He’s kinda tough (unless you use a rocket launcher, hehe.), but you’ll kill him….eventually.

Now the third part, someone (I’m not going to say) helps you get off to a far off island. Once you get there though she (oops) almost crashes the boat with you on it!!!! After a quick rethink of trust you head onto the island. This part of the game I have to say is kinda lame, you end updoing basically what you had been doing since the start, FINDING ASHLEY!!! BUT there are a few things that make this part fun, you’ll have a few new surpises when you kill someone or blow their head off, as well as a couple new money makers. So while you travel through this industrial type island make sure you look in every nook and cranny. You will eventually meet the big cheese, the head honcho, OR as I like to call him the EASIEST BOSS EVER!!!! Best part about this battle? Well I’ll let you decide. OF COURSE the makers of the game want to go out with a bang so you end up fleeing the island because why????? IT”S….. anyways you’ll see the ending when you finish the game and also gain access to a new weapon, a fun little handgun called Matilda. Plus another thing you’ll find is you have unlocked a special mission….well you’ll see (I’m not going to give EVERYTHING away. So here are my ratings for the game:

Graphics: 5/5 (This is as good as the gamecube gets)

Gameplay: 5/5 (CONSTANT action with some puzzles for breaks)

Weapons: 5/5 (after you beat the game this is what the replay value is ALL about)

Camera: 5/5 (Such a nice change from the original games with the new over the shoulder veiw)

Overall Game: 5/5 (Really the best game for the gamcube and one of the best FPS’)
