Another Hero game? What are we saving this time? Read the full story

Imagine living in the desert, away from your family and friends for months … years.    Imagine waking up every day of your life and wondering if today is the day you will die.  The day your child takes it’s first steps without you. The day you will take another life.   The day one of your best friends will no longer be there.

Now, imagine returning home after this struggle only to face a new one - the inability to get a paying job back here in the states. For 20% of our veterans, that is the challenge.

Activision not only launched the much anticipated Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 this week but it also launched the Call of Duty Endowment,  a website to assist our military veterans in finding employment after their tours of duty have ended.

Take a look at the site.   Donate if you are able to but, more importantly, spread the word about this great charity.

While you may be getting tired of guitar and drum peripherals, Activision has yet another unique toy for you to add to your collection. Personally, as long as it doesn’t have a strum bar or five rainbowtastic buttons I’m all for trying new things. I desperately want Tony Hawk: RIDE to be good (although THUG is still going to be hard to top), and if this new trailer is any indication, the skateboard controller may just have what it takes to deliver a fun, as-close-to-authentic-as-a-piece-of-plastic-can-get skating experience. Check it out, drop your thoughts, and come back for our review on or around the game’s November 17th release!

Whether you’ve already snagged a streetdate-broken copy or are waiting for the midnight launch tonight (don’t pretend like you’re not going), the wait for Modern Warfare 2 is finally at an end. Activision and Infinity Ward have provided a final, shiny trailer for the release of what is sure to be one of the best-selling games of all time. Check it out, get the game, and we’ll see you all online soon!

Day 3 has come and gone and it was a day of hands on and technical difficulties.   Check out the GEN Day 3 wrap

After seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine in theaters and knowing the toxic reputation of movie-based video games, I had grim hopes that the most recent X-Men film’s console adaptation would impress.
