devs that announce and hype games way out only serve to hurt themselves. the hype reaches such amazing lvls that almost no dev can match it. Plenty of perfectly good games have been hurt because of the hype surrounding them, FFXIII i'm looking at you.

you know, I kind of find it nice though the way that Call of Duty games are announced. They don't announce them way out from release, they tell use a few months in advance and then we get a steady stream of info to keep us interested until release. look at black ops, it comes out in 3 months and we still know almost nothing about its multiplayer.

ways to monetize gaming is his job. Why should he be responsible to you? Activision makes decent games. It would be different if they made games that always rank in the 50% or under on metacritic, but they don't.

I don't think that the yearly Call of Duty games will ever go pay to play, Even Activision knows that would be stupid and eventually hurt sales. I think that the pay to play COD will be a totally separate beyond the yearly release. and people need to stop grouping Activision and Blizzard together. while they are part of the same company Blizzard still functions the same way they did 10 years ago. Diablo 2 cost $60 at retail, that has been the norm for Blizzard gaems. They have no "lo...

I would say the finger cutting scene in Heavy Rain was the most intense for me. I had to shut off my ps3 after that scene because it totally drained me.

I pay for WoW every month because it is an expansive and evolving world. A shooters online component is neither. I'm not paying money every month just to play the same 20 maps over and over.

I never got a psp because it was too similar to the ps2 when it hit. nintendo has always done something different with their handhelds. that was sony's biggest mistake with the psp

Flame me now, but I completely understand what he means. He was talking about the fact that Call of Duty currently has this humongous amount of hype built around it and that I is ingrained in the Social psyche of the public as Star Wars has become. People blindly follow Call of Duty as they blindly follow Star Wars. He just means that it has become a social force. He did not mean the story or the themes as the article seems to think, he was talking about the grander repercussions.

the casual's won't buy this. most of them have wii's already and they don't care about graphics, so the wii is plenty good enough. Not many will go out and buy another $300 console.
