Activision Focuses on Social Networking / Media To Promote MW3 Instead of EA's Current Approach
When it comes to advertising for their games, it seems like EA lately has been pulling out all the stops, with the Jay-Z "99 Problems" trailer and their tagline "Above and Beyond the Call" (which is a clever shot at Activision's series), it has been pretty effective in gaining attention in my opinion (and the open beta is just as effective as well).

Battlefield 3's Beta is Looking Sharp and Fine
While it's a bit to early to claim Battlefield 3 to have a major lead over Modern Warfare 3, it is safe to say that it has a slight edge over its rival when it comes to an interface. You can see the images here, which while are unofficial and not endorsed by EA, they really show off what we will be interacting with a lot. And I have to say, it's very sleek and well thought out.

The Gears of War Series is Doing Great in Japan
So as you know, I like to report how western games are doing in Japan. Usually, when Japan's gaming community are exposed to games made in the west, they usually have a wide range of excitement (from "meh" to "omg that was awesome"). Lately, it's been "meh" with the decline of the Xbox 360 in the region. However there was a surprise at this year's Tokyo
