Are you a PC gamer? Have you been eyeballin’ the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition that features working night vision goggles? Well, there’s good news and some bad news.
The good news is you’re going to be saving close to $100 when you pick up Modern Warfare 2 this November. The bad news? Well, you’re going to be saving that money because Activision has announced that there will be no PC version of the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition, hell, there won’t even be a Hardened Edition.
So yes, you’re going to be stuck just playing the game rather than galavanting around in night vision goggles, bummer.
Bungie has recently been kind enough to release a video documentary featuring none other than Halo 3: ODST.
While there are several cips of actual gameplay featured in the video, the purpose it serves is to give us a closer look at the characters the game is based around. Add to that a full break down of a few of the game’s weapons and other in-game technology and you have yourself a very intersting video.
Halo 3: ODST will be out exclusively for the Xbox 360 on September 22nd, 2009.
If you’ve been following Brutal Legend, you’ll know that Activision is none too happy about EA gaining the rights to publish the game. In fact, they even went as far as asking a court to legally delay Brutal Legend after sueing the game’s developers.
Well, the final decision isn’t in yet but it looks like it’s going to be ruled in EA favors as the judge has expressed his disinterest in complying with Activision’s requests.
So, as of now, you can still expect to see Brutal Legend hit store shelves for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on October 13th of this year.
Since it’s creation, Playstation Home has been virtually nothing more than a world in which advertisements run rampant. And, with the impending release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the deal is the same.
What you see above is the movie’s presence in Playstation Home where you will be able to view media regarding said movie. Additionally, once this promotion goes live, you will be able to pick up a bunch of free avatar skins at the Playstation Home Threads Store.
id Software’s very own John D. Carmack had a few words to say on the performance issues Rage is seeing on the PlayStation 3. According to Carmack in an interview with Edge Magazine, the post-apocalyptic FPS runs better on the Xbox 360 and PC than its console counterpart.
“The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it,” John Carmack told Edge. “The rasteriser is just a little bit slower – no two ways about that.
Unfortunately, it’s unclear if the PS3 version will be fixed. The alleged framerate is only 20-30fps, as opposed to the full 60fps the PC and 360 are getting.
“The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that’s what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3,” he said.
Rage will be out sometime soon next year. The Mac version is currently under development.
Cricket isn’t particularly a popular sport in the United States, but it sure is everywhere else in the world. A playable PC demo for Ashes Cricket 2009 has been released on the Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and PC. The demo allows three overs-a-side matches between England and Australia.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is set to come out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and PC systems in the United Kingdom and North America on August 7th, and a bit later on August 13th for Australia.

The new 1.4 firmware is now available for the Nintendo DSi. This firmware deems flash cards useless. All pirates are advised not to update if they want to keep using their ROMs and such.
Back in March, Nintendo revealed plans to expand to social networking options. Today, Nintendo has released a new application for the Nintendo DSi which allows players to upload their photos directly to Facebook.
To get setup, you need to link your DSi with your Facebook account via Facebook Connect. Once that’s done, a Facebook logo will appear on top of your photos. Users are allowed to upload entire albums at once (200 photos), and every photo after that, a new album is created.
The firmware is only exclusive to Japan, Europe, and Australia. No word on when the update will be released for North America.
