 Modern Warfare 2's Ghost getting his own game?
Modern Warfare 2's Ghost getting his own game?
Published by: wes213 on Monday, November 16, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,


TVGB: "During Modern Warfare 2's launch event in the UK, the voice actor for the game's Ghost character, Craig Fairbrass, mentioned that "they" - presumably Infinity Ward - are considering a game solely for Ghost."


I did in the last game a voice for a character called Gaz and in this game I'm now voicing a guy called Ghost, who now just got a spin-off comic of his own and they're talking about another little game to go with it Fairbrass said at the event (videos on Live), so, I'm quite excited about it. Its grown and grown and grown".
When asked about what is it about the character that is getting people excited, he said,I don't know. It's the whole thing I suppose of not knowing who he is. He is like the head of the SAS and I'm just so thrilled to be a part of it, I mean it just gets bigger and bigger each year".

Assassin's Creed 2 Xbox 360 version Leaked?

Just to add salt to the wounds i got the word that yet another top shelf game has been leaked to the torrents, if you are thinking why is Microsoft so hell bent for banning then you can see that all there top games are getting outed far ahead of there release date and that takes a big toll on there income boys and girls.

Assassin's Creed 2 Screenshot 6656

VGarabia reports: We are getting used to the fact that pirates do play most of the games (if not all) before their official release dates. Today, it seems that Ubisoft upcoming action-adventure is the newest victim.

Just to help all the gamers out there that wait till the real release date VGarabia also reported: It seems that Youtube is removing any leaked videos related to Assassin’s Creed 2. While we don’t encourage pirating games, the game is available on numerous torrent sites. I have to mention this in order to prove that the game is actually leaked.

To show that the wave of ban hammer hits have little to no effect on piracy and the demand for games before there release date it looks like one more major title has been leaked and im sure downloaded at a insane rate.


Nextgen reported in few words "The Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead 2 has been leaked to torrent sites a week before the official release date".

 Modern Warfare 2 Smashes Sales Records
Modern Warfare 2 Smashes Sales Records
Published by: Mattster on Friday, November 13, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,


Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 blasted past $US300 million in sales on its opening day, blowing away even Hollywood films to become the highest-grossing entertainment launch ever.

MW2 sold 4.7 million copies and racked up $US310 million in sales in the United States and Britain alone when the eagerly-anticipated title from Infinity Ward made its worldwide debut on Tuesday.

The videogame even bested Batman film The Dark Knight, which holds the record for the top opening weekend ever by taking in $US158.4 million in July 2008.

"The Call of Duty franchise has become a cultural phenomenon showing the power of videogames as an entertainment medium," said publisher Activision's chief executive Mike Griffith.

MW2 is the sixth title in the Call Of Duty franchise, which has won a devoted following since the first version was released in 2003.

Reviewers have praised MW2 for its game play options and vivid graphics.

Players can fight alone or one another, whether they are using the same console or in separate locations and connected via the internet.

"Fire it up on a new LCD or plasma HDTV and it's all but guaranteed to make the neighbours' jaws drop," said Scott Steinberg of videogame and gadget website Digital Trends.

"It's designed to be as much of a breathlessly cinematic experience as simple run-n-gun outing," he added.

In Australia, the game is rated for people aged 15 or older and it has stirred a bit of controversy for depicting realistically brutal terrorist encounters.

Players join a global military task force taking on ultranationalist Russian terrorists in order to save the world. Settings include Russia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and Brazil.

 Halo Waypoint launched, Halo Legends!
Halo Waypoint launched, Halo Legends!
Published by: forahobby on Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,


Halo Waypoint, the new virtual home for all things “Halo,” launches today on Xbox LIVE, and will be the exclusive destination for full-episode previews of “Halo Legends” beginning Saturday, Nov. 7. Available for “Halo” fans worldwide following a successful preview period, Halo Waypoint brings all the richness of the “Halo” universe together in one place.

Halo Waypoint features daily updates of fresh, exciting content such as developer interviews, trailers and screenshots, exclusive video footage, community activities and the latest “Halo” news.

In addition, Halo Waypoint includes an innovative career system that tracks players’ accomplishments across multiple “Halo” games and gives them new ways to show off their heroic gameplay feats. By downloading and “enlisting” in Halo Waypoint, players will be rewarded with a variety of Bungie-created “Halo 3: ODST” Avatar Awardables for attaining specific Achievements in the game. Rewards vary from stylish T-shirts to full sets of ODST armor. The experience is retroactive, so if players have already unlocked the requisite Achievements, the awards will be ready for them once they enlist in Halo Waypoint.

Players can unlock the following Achievements to gain access to “Halo 3: ODST” Avatar Awardables.

Halo Awardables
Achievement Title: Tourist
Achievement Description: Accessed and downloaded the city map to your VISR.
Achievement Awardable: ODST Black T-shirt

As a bonus for enlisting to Halo Waypoint, fans will receive a Monitor accessory for their Avatars modeled after the “Halo” character, 343 Guilty Spark. The Monitor will help fans find their way around Halo Waypoint, the new destination for all things “Halo” on Xbox LIVE.

The rollout of exciting new “Halo” content doesn’t stop there. This Saturday, the first preview episode of the highly anticipated anime series, “Halo Legends,” will debut only on Halo Waypoint. Set to be distributed in early 2010 by Warner Home Video, the rich anthology of anime short films will tell all-new stories in the epic “Halo” saga.

Written and created by an array of renowned anime studios and produced by 343 Industries, “Halo Legends” will explore never-before-told stories based on themes and characters in the vast “Halo” universe. Sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, previews of four new “Halo Legends” episodes will be available only on Halo Waypoint during 24-hour live-streaming events on Xbox LIVE over the next three months.

The first “Halo Legends” preview episode, “The Babysitter,” is created by famed anime house STUDIO4˚C, and follows the story of a group of ODST’s who reluctantly accept a Spartan sniper into their strike team. As they embark on a perilous mission to assassinate a high-ranking Covenant Prophet, old rivalries must be reexamined if the mission is to succeed. Watch what happens as the mission progresses into hostile territory, and both the Spartan and the ODST’s discover something important about the other.

Following each preview episode on Xbox LIVE, fans will receive exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at each studio’s creative process through “making of” specials. Below is the current broadcast schedule of upcoming “Halo Legends” live-streaming events (subject to change):

 How investigators tracked down a Modern Warfare 2 cyber pirate
How investigators tracked down a Modern Warfare 2 cyber pirate
Published by: forahobby on Saturday, November 07, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Homebrew, Xbox 360,


The posting last Thursday on Craigslist was alarming. Someone was selling a Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundle, with both a console and a game, for $500. The problem was that Modern Warfare 2, one of the most anticipated games of the year, doesn’t officially go on sale until Nov. 10.

Activision Blizzard, the game’s publisher, called in IPCybercrime.com, a Dallas private investigation firm that specializes in online investigations. The investigators tracked down the seller and stumbled into a scheme to pirate the game and sell a bunch of fake copies over the Internet. While the bust led to the arrest of just one hacker among many, it sheds light on the shadowy underground of the business of illegal piracy. It also offers a peak at how investigators try to head off a major piracy disaster before it happens.

“It all happened very fast,” said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime. “If these guys get their stuff out, then they can do some major damage to sales and spoil it for everybody. We plug leaks every day, but this was one of the biggest ones of the year.”

The investigators started by calling the Craigslist ad phone number and talking with the seller, who said he had two items for sale. They negotiated a deal to buy two bundles for $800 each. Then IPCybercrime dispatched its investigators in Los Angeles to perform an undercover pickup. Then another Craigslist ad appeared for the same Modern Warfare 2 bundle. A search on social networks revealed that the first seller was a friend of the second seller. And the second seller said on his social networking page that he worked as a “box boy at a major retail chain.”



IPCybercrime’s client, Activision Blizzard, approached the sellers, who then admitted having stolen a crate of the bundles from the backroom of a game retail store. Then IPCybercrime folks turned the case over to the loss prevention department at the retailer, which dealt with the thieves. This kind of inside job involving physical theft is becoming common, though it’s hard to do because retailers get a major game just a week in advance and then lock the boxes up in a high-security part of their warehouses.

Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders hit 2.4 million in America

With the release of COD MW2 drawing near there is one fact that cant be over looked and that is this game will be huge, if your thinking to yourself "how huge" you might want to check out this little fun fact.


Brett Walton of vgchartz.com reports: "Modern Warfare 2 preorders close in on 2.4 million across Xbox360 and PS3 with another week to go, final preorders should hit 2.6 million with a week one of 3.5-4 million in the Americas, and another 2-2.5m in Europe and other regions. With such a high average retail price, week one revenue predictions of over $500m and the title becoming the biggest entertainment launch of all-time seem likely to become true"
