Reactions: Sledgehammer’s CoD Action-Adventure “probably” canceled
What you see above is a trailer for Modern Warfare 3, the game that Sledgehammer helped to develop after the highly publicized mass exodus of Infinity Ward employees left that studio reeling in the midst of development. And for what it’s worth, the branching Point Streak concept sounds like a pretty cool development that will reward varying play styles, though the Specialist sounds a bit overpowered to me. But how have Sledgehammer’s redirected efforts affected the Third-Person Call of Duty Action-Adventure that they came to Activision to work on?

Feature: Could RPGs be the new FPS?
With Activision recently putting the kibosh on the Guitar Hero franchise, and really, the Rhythm genre as a whole, I got to wondering if this console generation will see the collapse of any more genres. With escalating development costs, publishers are more eager than ever to turn their properties into annual tent-pole releases in the pursuit of short-term profits. The Rhythm genre, which many argued to be a fad in the first place, saw this gross mismanagement go to an extreme with literally dozens of games released within a five year period. And despite all of the lost jobs, lost investments, and lost opportunities, Activision doesn’t seem to have learned their lesson.
Author: CodyRandom: Why isn’t Activision actually doing this?
It’s genius! Why limit cover votes to boring old Madden? Let’s spice Call of Duty up with a little Bonkers Captain Price. Either him, or this write-in submission.
Reactions: Next CoD to be sci-fi?
But how will Captain Price smoke cigars in space!?!
Getting burned out on the glut of modern military shooters out there? Activision hears you. According to Gamasutra, the next entry in the grossly popular Call of Duty series is going to spice things up with the totally fresh setting of future warfare. That’s right, folks, Activision’s next golden egg “will be set in the future and feature, for lack of a better term, space Marines.”
Author: CodyFeature: Getting to the game late
Since coming to college two weeks ago I’ve come to realize that not many people share my passion for video games, or if they do, they’re doing a very good job of hiding it. It’s understandable, though–games still tend to be viewed as childish toys by the general public. But even those who acknowledge the average age of gamers (32 as of 2010) still assume video games to be a strictly male pastime. To be fair, adolescent male power-fantasies do make up the majority of content out there, but there is so much more that the masses just don’t know about. So my question, as a person with a passion for video games (and someone who is hoping to garner some more readers for this here website), is “How should gaming veterans go about introducing the uninitiated to this world we love?”

Yeah, whatever, I don’t really feel like writing all this crap out and nobody’s going to read it anyways, so have some links.
Author: CodyReactions: Get several days worth of news, all for the price of one!
Yup, I’m totally doing this. I hate that I’m doing this, my stupid real life has been interfering with my fantasy game journalist life this past week, so I need to get caught up some how. Just click your links and be quiet!

Robin Williams is a funny guy. Apparently, he’s a funny guy who really likes video games too. Hear him explain what it’s like to play Call of Duty online.
