The Week in Review

The Week in Review, the only gaming news roundup endorsed by Mornos and Born-Again Lizards.


Of Brains and Bewbs

UAV, Airstrike, Helicopter. For players of Call of Duty 4 this is a familiar list, perhaps too familiar. Knowing that familiarity breeds contempt - and kidnappings [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93516-Modern-Warfare-4-Held-Hostage] - Infinity Ward have released video footage of their new unlock system, which allows players to customize their list.

I'd be surprised if they let you get something like an airstrike before you get something like a UAV, but the ability to call in an AC-130 should you get to a kill streak of 11, is a pretty nice addition. Hit the link for video-y goodness. (link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93449-Your-First-Look-at-Modern-Warfare-2s-Multiplayer])

Wow. While it was happening, last week felt like things were indeed occurring, but looking back, not much happened at all. I mean, the only things on this list that I find overly interesting are the German petition, which stared not in this week and the "Sin-to-Win" contest, also not started this week. Week of July 24-31, I think you're lame.

T'was a pretty good week for the gaming industry. Primarily, I'm just glad this whole "Sin-to-Win" nonsense is coming to an end.

And yes, I DO hope EA takes PixelPoet's advice.

Not so much a good year for the gaming industry. How many delays have there been? Too many to count (I can't count past 6). Someone please count for me
Also, the best way to annoy someone..."tl;dr, but I think..."
But I really did read it.

Any chance you guys might feel like turning this into a weekly podcast? I'd like to have a good gaming news round-up podcast to listen to.

Because it was announced after this was written. Calm down, you'll live longer.

Looks like an exciting week. I wasn't near a computer all week and therefore missed pretty much all of that. Thanks for bringing me up to date.

Not a bad week if I do say so myself. I only heard about the Shatner/Palin thing today and found it hilarious.

I didn't hear anything about the first segment. That's why I love this thing.
