COD MW2: Titles and Emblems (How To Get Them)

modern-warfare-2-500

Besides the lack of party chat, I’m sure the one thing pissing off most Modern Warfare 2 players is the inability to find out how to unlock certain titles. After an hour or two of searching, I’ve found a forum that has a nearly complete list of all of the titles in MW2. I won’t waste your time so I’ll just throw the link below.

Review: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

GTA4 The Ballad of Gay Tony Screen 1

When Microsoft paid close to 50 million bucks to secure the rights to the episodic content for GTA IV, many thought it was a cheap way to corner the market for one of the greatest games of this or any generation. Many of those naysayers were PS3 owners as they were left out of the DLC party. I grew up on GTA on the PS2 and its controller for this series, however, having the option to get these episodes on the 360 made my decision an easy one. The Lost and the Damned DLC was terrific, but how does Gay Tony fare? Let’s just say that this rainbow is as bright as ever.

I Could Care Less About Facebook on Consoles

Facebook

I use Facebook a lot. Multiple times a day. It’s great for catching up with friends, sharing information, and connecting through multiple sources with Facebook Connect. I do all of this on my mobile devices and laptop. But in its current form, Facebook on consoles is useless for me. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely see the potential there, but right now it’s pointless.

Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 Trailer Screen Capture

As you all know by now, the year’s most anticipated FPS title has finally dropped, and we’ve all been living, sleeping, eating, and breathing Modern Warfare 2 for 6 days now. I decided to hack my way through the campaign before I touched the multiplayer, and managed to hack my way through on Veteran Difficulty in just under 9 hours, yielding me roughly 600 points worth of achievements. Now, I make no bones about being a huge fan of the COD series, but this campaign was awesome. I know a lot of you buy the COD games only for the multiplayer aspect, but with this iteration in the series, you are only ripping yourself off. Why? Hit the jump and find out.

360 Dash Update Coming Tuesday

Facebook Screen 2

Those of you who weren’t lucky enough to get in the Xbox 360 Preview Program haven’t been able to play with Twitter, Facebook, and Last.FM integration on your console for the past few weeks. Trust me, you aren’t missing much. But in case you can’t live without these new features, the update will go live this coming Tuesday, November 17th.

We’ve been playing around with the update for a while, and it’s just okay for me. I fired up Facebook and Twitter once each, but have used Last.FM quite a bit. Not a bad update, but nothing as big as when we first got Netflix on the 360.

Spare yourself from some Modern Warfare 2 action this coming Tuesday and grab the update. You know you want to stalk people on Facebook on your living room TV.

Review: Band Hero

Band Hero - Judy Nails and Midori

The latest in Activision’s “Hero” series is a stark contrast to games past. Band Hero sheds the rock for radio-friendly pop music. Tweens rejoice. If you listen to the Top 40 station on the radio all day and don’t get tired of it, this game might be just for you.

Review: DJ Hero

DJ Hero - Scribble-Scratching

The rhythm game genre needed a shot in the arm. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero are great, but what about other types of music? Enter DJ Hero, where you can show off your skills on wax. As a big fan of hip hop and turntablism, the game immediately piqued my interest. My initial hands-on experiences before release were frustrating while learning the new controls on the turntable controller, but after getting the retail game and playing the tutorial, I don’t want to stop playing. DJ Hero is just that damn fun.
