This is a hilarious short video that was posted Friday on Infinity Ward’s YouTube page. It features Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels asking all of the future Modern Warfare 2 players to do him a favor.

I Think I’m Scared of Disney
On October - 8 - 2009
Oh. Oh my.
Apparently Disney has decided that the Kingdom Hearts series wasn’t awesome enough and has amped things up by creating Epic Mickey, a game wherein all of the forgotten Disney characters have risen up and decided that things need to change. Therefore, as a perfectly reasonable course of actions, they have decided to just go ahead and turn the world of Disney into a chaotic acid trip. Oh, and the acid is laced with gasoline.
Super Street Fighter 4
On October - 3 - 2009
It would normally be upsetting that they’re releasing a fighting game so similar to one that just came out less than a year ago instead of just using DLC. Apparently the team over at Capcom are actually changing some gameplay mechanics and might even be throwing in some bonus stages. They also promise that Super Street Fighter 4 will not be a full priced game, it will be an appropriately priced expansion including six characters not found in Street Fighter 4. Trailer featuring three of the characters that will be added after the cut
The PS3 Has Slimmed Down
On August - 18 - 2009
In another “wait on something Sony exclusive” post today, Sony has announced the coming of the PS3 Slim. The 120 GB PS3 Slim will be released September 1st and will retail for $299. The current 80 GB model just dropped down to $299, so now there is really no reason to buy that. The new Slim’s will not be backward compatible, so don’t go throwing away your PS2 just yet. It’s a nice matte finish that won’t show fingerprints (apparently the guy in the video thought the same thing). Check out the video of the unboxing below…
Another Reason Mass Effect 2 Should be Great
On August - 18 - 2009
BioWare revealed another possible crew member for Commander Shepard’s journey in the upcoming game Mass Effect 2. His name is Grunt, and he is a Krogan Merc, just like Wrex from the first game. With two possible squad members revealed so far, one being an assassin and the other a merc, it sounds like you could possibly be leading a rag-tag bunch of bad-asses.
This Could Be Good, Maybe Not
On August - 18 - 2009
Another tidbit of Little Big Planet news. Media Molecule has decided to add water into the game. Prepare yourself for a shit-ton of water levels. This could be a good test though, because if someone can make a good water level then maybe they deserve a job as a game designer.
WAIT!!
On August - 18 - 2009
In case you were thinking about purchasing one of the two best games of 2008, Little Big Planet or Fallout 3, you should wait. Fallout 3′s Game of the Year edition is releasing October 13th. It will include all five of the downloadable content packs for $60. That’s a $110 value for $60. One of the best games of 2008 is becoming one of the best values of 2009.
A Little Big Planet Game of the Year edition was just recently announced. It will include 18 user-created levels hand picked by Media Molecule. Along with that you will get the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack, Metal Gear Solid Costumes, Monster Costumes, Monster Pack, History Costumes, History Pack, and Animal Costumes.

It’s Party Time
On August - 11 - 2009
Xbox 360 users were hit with a mandatory update to live today. It’s an upgrade for the New Xbox experience and most likely why Live was down for a night about a month ago. So, what’s new about it?
