Modern Warfare 2 enjoys huge UK price hike, costs 54.99

It’s been a while since I lived in England now, but I still remember how annoying it was to spend £49.99 on a brand new videogame. It looked like things would calm down as I was leaving, with a lot of new games retailing for £39.99. However, if Activision’s shocking price hike forModern Warfare 2is any indicator, it looks like the recession is giving publishers alicense to gouge. Amazingly,Modern Warfare 2is going to sell for the hefty price of£54....

Monthly Musing: I suck at games

Each month’s Musings theme provides readers and community bloggers with the opportunity to have their thoughts posted on the front page. I am horrendous at RTS games. Absolutelyhorrendous. Some part of my brain is simply not wired for balancing resources and unit movement against military tactics.

Muppets and RE5, together at last?

This is what happens when you’re a really big gaming site and have money to do stuff on a whim. I’m not sure why IGN decided to mix Jim Henson’s Muppets withResident Evil 5, and I don’t know if it’s a good thing. In this case I find it best just to let things happen and watch the video. I’m pretty sure when Hensson created his puppets he never meant them to be blowing off people’s heads or getting beheaded by zombies....
