Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, a new first-person shooter from Infinity Ward and Activision, is now waiting for you in retail stores, smeared with camouflage face paint and constantly checking its six.
In a departure from its past storylines, CoD4 moves away from WWII and into modern times with a tense storyline about hijacked Russian nukes and terrorists hell-bent on destruction.
"We've set out to create the most intense, visceral experience in Call of Duty 4," said Infinity Ward Studio Head Grant Collier. "From the beginning, our team has been focused on pulling players into an unfolding, well-paced and relentless action experience that includes: fast-roping from attack helicopters in the dead of night; utilizing a camouflage Ghillie suit as you inch behind enemy lines; or being immersed in fun, competitive action in multiplayer that enables gamers to create classes, unlock new abilities and taunt opponents as they level up."
In addition to its campaign mode, CoD4 features a multiplayer mode with a leveling system, a variety of unlockable perks, hot-join and matchmaking, as well as create-a-class and party capabilities. The system allows up to 18-players on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and 32-players on Windows PC. ...by Published on November 6th, 2007 18:27

Microsoft has confirmed earlier reports of a free Xbox Live weekend later this month, 'Xtival 07' which is officially planned from November 23 to 26.
Over the Xtival weekend all Xbox 360 owners with a broadband connection will be able to access Gold account luxuries such as online play.
Additionally, a "full line-up" of Xbox Live events, competitions and exclusive downloads are promised for the weekend.
What's more, it's only open to European countries. No wining, swearing 13-year-old Americans then, hopefully.
"It's great to be able to offer Xbox 360 owners across the region the chance to take part in Xtival '07 for free, sampling all the great features of the Xbox Live Gold service and play against friends new and old alike from the comfort of their living room," said Chris Lewis, Microsoft's VP of E&DD.
Great news for cheapskates then. Perhaps MS might even learn a lesson or two and go PlayStation Network free. Well, we can dream... ...by Published on November 6th, 2007 18:25

Sony is to release a new model PlayStation 2 in Japan, with an integrated power supply and cosmetic changes.
Released on November 22, SCEJ claims the new model is lighter due to an overhaul of the design architecture. It will also feature a built-in AC adaptor.
Despite rumours, the system will not benefit from a price cut this year, as it will still retail for JPY 16,000 (EUR 96).
The eight-year-old system will have a cosmetic makeover, coming in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with peripherals to match. ...by Published on November 6th, 2007 18:23

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that it will be introducing a new model PlayStation 2 to the market in the new year.
Already scheduled for release in Japan later this month, the new model comes with an integrated power supply and is lighter due to revised internal architecture.
The redesigned unit will come in three colours – Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with matching vertical stands sold separately.
Despite rumours, the new unit will not be any cheaper in Japan than the current model, retailing for JPY 16,000, and it looks likely the same business model will apply in the European market.
Last month Sony celebrated the seventh birthday of the 120 million-selling console, revealing that more than a billion units of software had been sold for the machine since it launched in 2000.
The PlayStation 2 currently has a recommended retail price of GBP 94.99 / EUR 129.99 in Europe. ...by Published on November 6th, 2007 09:00
