Modern Warfare 3, Releasing on November 8th



Call of Duty has been an immensely popular series and one of its incarnations, Black Ops, has sold over 20 million copies - making it the best selling game ever. This game has made almost 1.5 billion dollars in revenue for Activision.

Modern Warfare 3 is going to be released on November 8th, 2011. This is a highly anticipated game, being the sequel to the game CoD: MW2 - which also sold quite a few copies and is still fairly popular with a lot of people around the world.

Wii 2, Has no Hard Drive



The next Nintendo console is going to be announced at E3, according to Nintendo themselves. We know many things about the console, including the controller, specifications, etc. Now, we know the amount of RAM and that there is no hard drive.

This is, of course, just rumor; however, many of these rumors are very likely to be true. I am wondering what Nintendo will do without a hard drive... go back to memory cards? That wouldn't be a very great idea - maybe they'll use Cloud systems to store things online? That would be cool and allow for us to be able to access saves from any of the Project Cafe (Wii 2 Codename) systems!

We also have rumors that the system will have 8 gigabytes of RAM, which will be far more than that of other console - which is 1/2 a gigabyte in the 360; that means this new console will have 16x as much RAM as the 360!

We'll just have to wait and see what happens with this.

Guitar Hero DLC has finally come to an end, with the series

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Wireless Bundle


It seems that Guitar Hero's final DLC (downloadable content) has been released. The Guitar Hero franchise is on hold right now, so no new games are being developed and it's unknown when it might resume. A while back, some thought that the game series was fully cancelled and never continued, but it has been revealed that it will be back at some point. 2012 is the only year in which Activision has confirmed that we won't see Guitar Hero, but it could be far longer into the future before we see another.

I really think that we have enough of this series, anyway; I am tired of seeing 8,000,000,000 of them release every year so I am ready to see it go for now. I want to see more in the future, but it's just not something I want right away.

Guitar Hero has provided lots of interesting things over the past few years; some say it's harder to play than a real guitar, some 8 year old kid was able to play better than anyone and so many other memories... but it's time to move on. Mostly because the world's going to end in 2012, right? Just kidding...

Windows 8 - Leaked and Features - App Store and Ribbon!

Windows 8 is looking to be more like Microsoft Office, with features like the Ribbon that now are part of windows explorer itself.











It is said to be an Operating system that can be used on phones, tablets and on desktops! This means good and bad things: the interface will be more user friendly, but probably at the loss much of the customization that windows is known to easily allow. I really hope this isn't the case, but if it's made for phones and tablets then they probably don't want people messing with the OS as much as usual.

We'll see how it goes, though.
