Modern Warfare 2 to get Nazi Zombies? Not a chance
Posted in Activision, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags Infinity Ward, Modern Warfare 2, Robert Bowling, Treyarch on February 24, 2010 by James Love
Robert Bowling has confirmed to IGN that there are no plans to bring the insanely popular Nazi Zombies mode from Call of Duty: World at War over to Modern Warfare 2.
“There will be no Nazis or zombies in any piece of Modern Warfare 2 downloadable content,” said Bowling, however with the next Call of Duty coming this year from Treyarch, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it rear its head in the new game.
Black: Latest shooters are “f***ing boring”
Posted in Codemasters with tags Stuart Black on February 24, 2010 by James Love
After having been revealed to be working on a brand new shooter Stuart Black, creator of Criterion’s Black, has labelled many modern shooters as “f***ing boring.”
His blunt assessment came when speaking to OXM about the state of many shooters now, with Black being peeved at the fact that many follow a repetitive structure of “when a guy hunkers down behind something, you’ve just got to sit there and wait for him to pop his head up. Pops up, couple of bullets to his head, pops back down again.. and I’m waiting for him to pop back up again?”

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise dated on PS3 & 360
Posted in Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Ubisoft, Xbox 360 with tags feelplus, No More Heroes on February 24, 2010 by James Love
No More Heroes, originally seen on the Nintendo Wii, has been given a launch date of April 15th in Japan.
The game is essentially an HD port of the Wii original (hence the slight change of title) but has an extra game mode “where the ladies aren’t wearing too many clothes.” I don’t think we need any further description added to that.
No date for Europe has been announced as yet but we’ll keep you posted if anything crops up.
