COD: Modern Warfare 2
On November 10, 2009, Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 will strike worldwide.
The most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling
first-person action game of all time, Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping
and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to
bringing the world to the brink of collapse.
Quake Live and Broswer gaming
Mike B reporting from Beta land
I have the pleasure of Beta testing Quake live the free to play online quake3 clone. it run in a browser with a reletavly small plugin to download. the action is retty quick and according to the forums there are some niggles to iron out with the balancing of weapons and maps but on an overall note so far its looking good fun. But essentially its still just Quake 3 which means fast paced FPS action with timing your armour and weapons etc so you can get one over your enemy. It is hard to get into from a begginers point of view. But if you an old pro its just like jumping on an old trampoline, its not hard and occasonally you get a good bounce out of it.
As far as I am concerned this is a good sign for this new generation of browser based gaming with the soon to be long overwaited Battlefield heroes going down the same route and currently in beta form, its all looking good.
Where does the revenue for such high class gaming come from in these
games are the developers just doing it for fun?
Developers make games
just for fun?????? Dont be silly, Well its all done through cosmetic upgrades to your online avatars
and in game advertising. From what i have seen so far there is minimal
disruption to your gaming experience, and at the end of the day you are getting
commertial quality games for nothing so who's gonna complain about the odd game
advert on the games website.
So for me so far this is a big Thumbs up and keep up all the good work out there you sweet little developers you.

World of Warcraft .. Ulduar
For countless millennia, Ulduar has remained undisturbed by mortals, far away
from their concerns and their struggles. But since its recent discovery, many
have wondered what the structure's original purpose may have been. Some thought
it a city, built to herald the glory of its makers; some thought it a vault
containing innumerable treasures, perhaps even relics of the mighty Titans
themselves. They were wrong. Beyond its gates lies no city, no treasure vault,
no final answer to the Titan's mysteries. All that awaits those who dare set
foot in Ulduar is a horror even the Titans could not, would not destroy, an evil
they merely... contained.
Beneath ancient Ulduar, the Old God of death lies, whispering.... Tread
carefully, or his prison will become your tomb.
As the next step in tiered raid progression in Wrath of the Lich King, Ulduar is
set to blow players away with gorgeous setpieces, sprawling battlefields, and
innovative boss encounters. Ulduar's design aims to provide a fun, unique, and
innovative raid experience, but it also includes additional challenges - and
rewards - for seasoned raiders. In this sneak-peek at World of Warcraft's newest
raid dungeon, we'll take a look at some of the new content that makes Ulduar
rise above the crop of amazing dungeons already available in World of Warcraft.
