On 11/10/09, one of the most looked-forward-to video games will be released. “The largest entertainment launch of 2009” was how Janco Partners’ Mike Hickey described Modern Warfare 2 (initially called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2).
So far, Activision has released the plot behind Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 2 is set several years after the conclusion of Call of Duty 4. Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish has returned as a Captain of the Special Air Service (He is a non-playable character). He is tasked to lead an elite, multinational counter terror force (Hmm..., elite, multinational counter- terror force. Rainbow Six, anyone?) called Task Force 141

Paradise, What’s Not to Love?
by Jacob P. June 16th, 2009 | Console Games, Game Reviews, Online, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox
Okay, so for my birthday I got the best racing game ever.. Burnout Paradise! The game's amazing features and expansions can have me talking for hours!
The first wickedly amazing thing is the graphics! Not only are they crystal clear, but they only require a one-hundred-twenty-eight megabyte video card (I bought it for the PC). To get graphics this good, you generally need a two-hundred-fifty-six megabyte video card, although I have seen worse graphics than Paradise on a two-five-six video card. The colors are vibrant, and the shadows and reflections are excellent, which can be hard to pull off in video

Silver Anniversary

In June of 1984, Alexey Pajitnov created a game that we all know today: Tetris. That means that this month marks the 25th anniversary. Thus this article is a tribute to Tetris, a classic and timeless game.
Since its release, Tetris has become available virtually everywhere. You can find the program for computer operating systems, gaming consoles, cellular phones, or even graphing calculators! If you are in the mood for a round right now, you could visit tetris.com and follow the links to play one of the many variants of Tetris (or, of course, the original).

E3 2009
by B Kenney June 2nd, 2009 | General Gaming News
The biggest gaming event, which takes place every year, has begun!
E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) starts June 1st and continues through June 4th and features some of the biggest entertainment news unveilings. Announcements every year are made at E3 for upcoming films, video game releases, and, of course, some computer software and equipment showings.
In other words, anyone who's someone in the entertainment industry, has at least something on display.
Apparently this year, the designers for the event have gone back to original roots, meaning lots of widespread light displays and special eye candy. Last year they experimented with some new styles
