The most anticipated game of the year is finally here, and holy crap does it not disappoint.  If you are a fan of FPSs, this is a game that you will not want to put down for weeks. 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.

C.O.D.E.

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.

Check it out, get the game, and we’ll see you all online soon!

However, since the wheel was turned over to developer Treyarch rather than Infinity Ward for this release, a startling amount of gamers believed the company couldn’t pull it off. Treyarch has gifted FPS fans with a followup worthy of the hallowed Call of Duty name, wholeheartedly atoning for their past transgressions. While it’s true that much of the praise should be credited to Infinity Ward for the game’s engine, Treyarch took what they were given and ran with it. The result is a visceral, yet admittedly strange experience that gets far more done right than it does wrong.
