What I Did During The Great Modern Warfare
Critical Gamer Writes: In years to come, when I am old and using the words 'these days' too often, my grandchildren will probably look back at some old news on Google, turn to me and ask "What did you do during the great Modern Warfare 2 Granddad?". I shall take a good old gulp of oxygen from the tank, think for a moment and respond with "Nothing".

The faces of the children will drop and they will ask again with astonishment "Really Granddad? You weren't on the battlefield killing noobs?".

IncGamers Column: Why Is Sex In Games Bad
Whether you like it or not, sex is part of our culture. It's there on TV well before the watershed, if not in films or programmes then in the adverts, as well as in magazines and newspapers. Most of us would struggle to go a full day without seeing some sort of sexual image, so why does it draw so much controversy in when it's seen in video games?

Yeah, I'm still a PC gamer
Tim Schiesser from The PC Report analyses why he still loves his PC for gaming: "We live in a world where the mighty console seems to dominate the gaming world â€" more games are made for them, there are larger communities for consoles and they're cheaper and easier to access â€" but that hasn't stopped me from continuing to use my PC to enjoy the latest games. Why? Well, here are just a few reasons why I stick with the good ol' PC for my gaming needs.

Foremost in my passion for PC gaming are the games themselves, which contrary to popular belief do actually keep being released for PC. People are always talking about the death of the PC..."

Top 5 Most Untapped Ideas for a Videogame
"There are just so many things that could possibly inspire a game, and almost none of them have to be mutually exclusive. Personally, I've always loved the idea of an underwater city, but never did I think to take that idea, twist it with an early 20th century utopian, gene manipulating society, and pop out Bioshock. However, there are a few things that I have thought of along the way that are just too good for game developers to pass up on. These are the top five most untapped ideas for a videogame." -Dan Crabtree, GamerNode.com

Top 10 Classic Games That Are Over-rated
Christoper Ford of Nerdles writes: "Let's face it; playing Video Games is an expensive hobby, so it is important that we spend our money wisely. By way of the internet and gaming magazines, most of the time we know what games are going to be released up to a year in advance. These games range from brand new ideas, to the annual installment of your favourite game.

Inevitably, this leads to much anticipation. A lot gets written about how good the game is looking in the development stage, but when it comes to the release date, far too often there is a feeling of anti-climax. This list contains a selection of games that left me with that very feeling. They are by no means the worst games ever made (some are actually rather good), but they are games I was expecting far more from when I played them. To put it simply, these games are over-rated."

5 games to buy for friends you secretly hate
"Everyone has a few "friends" that you don't actually like at all. Maybe they're an annoying cousin that you wish you could disown, or maybe they're your significant other's younger brother who never shuts up. Even though it's probably the last thing you want to do, you're obligated to get them something for Christmas. Still, if you're going to drop the cash to buy them a gift, you might as well make it a game that truly communicates how you feel.

If you're thinking about shopping for video games for your hate-friends, here are five of the biggest flops of 2009 that will get the message across all too clearly. A punch to the back of the head or a box full of feces is out of the question, but finding a new copy of any game on this list under the Christmas tree will say, "I hate you" just as effectively. Please note: blatantly terrible shovelware or movie tie-ins have been excluded. Because that just wouldn't be creative at all. "

Report: Wii bubble is 'deflating', game quality is in 'downward spiral'
Devs and analysts alike are expressing serious reservations about Nintendo's Wii this Christmas holiday season.

A leading US games industry analyst has claimed that the Nintendo Wii bubble is "deflating" and that Sony's PS3 is set to dominate game hardware sales this Christmas.

Doug Creutz said: "While we believe the Wii is likely to be a drag on overall software sales through the holiday, the impact should be limited to those publishers which have invested significantly in Wii development, with the biggest negative impact likely to be felt by Electronic Arts, which (unwisely in our view) heavily invested in Wii development for [calendar 2009]."

Meanwhile, developer Blue Fang's chief operating officer Scott Triola said: "There's a circular argument going around in the industry. There's a low tie ratio on the Wii platform therefore it's not worth investment, therefore we'll just put out a bunch of low quality titles.

3D is the future of gaming, say Ubisoft
Critical Gamer Writes: There are strong rumours that the most successful home console on the planet, the Wii, is soon to embrace the brave new world of HD graphics. It surely won't be long before the majority of gamers are playing their games in High Definition; but what's the next step in Bigger Better More graphics?

According to Ubisoft, the inevitable next step is 3D. Their James Cameron's Avatar tie in, while it doesn't require a 3DTV to play, will be the first mainstream PS3 and Xbox 360 game to fully support the technology's 3D imaging. Brand manager for the game in the UK, Phil Brannelly, told us in our interview that 3D is definitely the future for games. He even went so far as to say "In the future, we'll be saying to our grand-kids 'I remember playing games in 2D' and they'll just tell us to shut up!"

How Gamestop Hit a New Low During the MW2 Launch
DualShockers writes:

"I'm sure many of you out there have heard many stories about the recent launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. And it seems that lately it's all about the mom and pop video game stores breaking street dates to stay competitive with the evil corporation that is GameStop. This story is about how one Gamestop store in NYC has stooped to new a despicable low and out of sheer jealousy decided to really hurt their local competition. It comes to us from Michael Hurdle and Corey Ashley, the hosts over at RawGamePlay, a public access video game news show from Brooklyn NY. Check out the video below to find out exactly what bastardly act it is that I'm talking about. It starts at right around 2:30 and get's real down and dirty at around the 5:00 mark.

Heavenly Sword's Nariko Action Figure Coming in July
Gamervision: "Getting an early look at DC Comics' solicitations for February of next year sure has its advantages. One of them happens to be seeing just what their action figure plans are for the coming months. Well, next July, you can expect some really sweet ass figures based on Sony characters like Nariko and Sweet Tooth.

This won't be the first time that DC has plasticized Sony properties. The company's DC Direct branch already has plans for a Resistance 2 line, as well as a series based on Ratchet and Clank. We reported on those a while back, and I'm still looking forward to getting my hands on that Ratchet series this December. Why they're choosing for Nariko and Sweet Tooth to get figures this long after their last respective games have shipped is beyond me, but that's not going to stop me from getting my hands on both of them. That Nariko figure is particularly sweet, what with the flowing red hair and all. Not to take anything away from that Sweet Tooth figure, but I've got enough shirtless male gaming characters wielding knives adorning my desk as it is."

What's Wrong with Uncharted 2 (and Virtually Every Other Video Game)
Playstation Insider writes:

"Naughty Dog's magnificent second entry in the Uncharted series might be the most "cinematic" video game of all time. The game has only just released, and there is strong temptation to elevate it, in the myopia of the moment, to the ranks of the greatest games of all time-comparing it to other genre-defining games, such as Half-life 2, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario Bros. 3, or Halo. Journalists and reviewers have come to a tentative consensus that Uncharted 2 is likely the Playstation 3's best exclusive (you win this round Metacritic-we'll get you someday) and the game has been widely praised for its visuals, motion-capture, and storytelling."

From article:

You may have seen the new review for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex for Wii from Game Informer. You may have read the review, and like us, may have had your jaw dropped by it and the state of gaming in general."

Off the Grid: Shadow Hearts
DualShockers writes:

"[Off the grid is a weekly column focusing on titles that may have flown under many people's radar at the time of release, for whatever reason. Usually the titles have some redeeming quality and weren't just overlooked because they were horrible games.]

Shadow Hearts (developed by Sacnoth, published by Midway in the U.S.) had possibly one of the most unfortunate release dates of the PS2 generationit came out just one week prior to Final Fantasy X. Not only was there a new Final Fantasy title, but it was the first one on the PS2. For this reason alone, I think Shadow Hearts was completely overlooked around it's release, and only later found a cult following. I know I didn't play it until a couple years later when I was looking for new and interesting RPGs to pass the time. But, I'm sure glad I picked it up and played it, because it is a rather unique and compelling titlesomething you don't see often in the JRPG genre."

In this week's column, Andy Alderson discusses cliches in game world design.

From the article:

"Yes, this week it's gaming clichés or, more specifically, environmental clichés. No, I'm not talking about Sting but rather the way in which game developers use the same hackneyed tools when creating their game worlds. The excepts above are great examples of how we're still mining away at the same coalface over ten years on from Resident Evil and Silent Hill."

Gamoc of Sixthaxis writes: "On Thursday I rented Virtua Fighter 5 for the 360, due to a combination of feeling cheated that the PS3 version didn't have online multiplayer and wanting to beat the crap out of something without getting arrested. I'm going to be up front about this; I am not particularly good at fighting games. I'm not exactly terrible, though, I'm more in the group of people who beat other people of the same group but, when faced by either anyone who plays them a lot or a small child's wild button mashing skills, will lose horribly."

IGN Presents: The History of Call of Duty
At a glance, Call of Duty is much like every other game out there; almost extraordinarily ordinary. To the uninitiated, it looks like another "me too" tale of heroic army men, told from a first-person perspective. But it's Call of Duty's ability to rise above the competition â€" and without the need for attention-grabbing gimmicks â€" that makes it so exceptional, even with six proper games in as many years, and just as many spin-offs.

Call of Duty snatched the annual World War II franchise crown from the industry's largest publisher, and helped pave the way for Activision's world conquest. With Modern Warfare 2 just around the corner, it shows no signs of slowing down.

Can Call of Duty: MW2 beat Uncharted 2 to achieve the best graphics of 2009?
GB writes: "What a year it has been. And if we thought that the current year has ended for video games than you are very much mistaken. The holiday season is right around the corner and with games like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 unreleased so far, we don't really have a clear winner as to who will take the elite title of best graphics of 2009. So far Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is running the show. Many gamers have already give their judgment about the game; that its the 'game of the generation'. But Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is really looking like a stellar game which can give Uncharted 2 a good run for its money in the visuals department."
