Games News - Black Ops to pass up Modern Warfare 2?

EA marketed Medal of Honor in a way that suggested it could be the next Modern Warfare, although it was a decent attempt, it just didn't match up. Will Call of Duty: Black Ops fall flat on it's face in the same way? At this point it's a little difficult to tell. The Call of Duty games developed by Treyarch have never been given the same critical acclaim as those made by Infinity Ward, but with Infinity Ward's lead programmers, designers, and Engineers starting there own venture with Respawn Entertainment, I'm guessing Activision's paying special attention to this title.

Gaming Review View - Zombie Farm!

Forget Farmville. This Halloween, try out Zombie Farm for your iPhone or iTouch! Instead of farming cabbage, or broccoli, or whatever new vegetable Zynga has come out with, plant, harvest, and raise your zombies to create your own evil empire.

Although visually almost identical to Farmville, Zombie Farm provides a little more humor to an already relatively addictive concept. Beginning the game, as an evil farmer you must choose between planting crops or zombies. After, just like in Farmville, you sell your zombies or crops to generate money to plant more. Is it redundant and mindless, just like FarmVille? Yes. But is it way cooler because it features zombies,

NBA JAM not downloadable but a physical video game!

With NBA Jam already released on disc for the Wii, the PS3 and Xbox versions that were originally to be original downloadable content for delayed NBA Elite 11, will be now be a retailÂÂdisc release according to an EA Sports representative. EA Sports President Peter Moore stated that EA is going to ship NBA Jam as a standalone product in time for the holidays.

Jen Riley of EA Sports Vancouver had this to say:
"The fact that retailers are showing the box is

Games - EA embraces Mixed Martial Arts and trying to get you to enjoy it also

UFC and mix martial arts have been around for a few years. I mean if you go on to YouTube and type in MMA you will find some old highlights that people don't know even exist. Ever since UFC got their new president, Dana White, mix martial arts has been on the map. We always here about there pay per views, TV shows on spike and now video games.

EA sports MMA video game might help the MMA community instead of hurting it like the last few games made. No offense to the creators of Tapout, but the world just wasn't ready to play a MMA game. UFC Undisputed did a good job with creating a career mode that fans would love. After all these years

Game Review - Costume Quest

Developer: Double Fine

Publisher: THQ

If you've got a digital sweet tooth for role-playing games, Tim Schafer has got you covered in time for Halloween. From the mind that brought us Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle, comes Tim Schafer's first foray into digital gaming, Costume Quest.

Although it's frustrating to see digital downloads go up in price. Costume Quest seems to be one title worth the fifteen dollar price tag. The look of the game is unique, and watching the costumes transform into their larger-then-life counterparts in battles is something that captures the imagination I felt as child every Halloween. I'm impressed,

So sorry to inform you but Gears is being pushed back until Fall 2011.The game was supposed to be released in spring 2011, but Epic Games and Microsoft decided that was too early. Apparently they are pushing it back to benefit themselves as opposed to a customer related reason like quality of the game With the holiday's right around the corner, sales for this game should be great if released in the fall. Also, Microsoft made a point to announce they want Gears of Wars 3 to be the cover game for 2011, like Halo Reach.

We know, and they know that fans are anxiously looking forward to this game and releasing it at a later date helps to build the anticipation.

Games - NBA Jam sets Politicians against each other

Taking a page from the old NBA Jam games, there will be political figures in NBA Jam. EA's latest game in the franchise will feature the political figures of today including Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, John McCain, and President Obama.

Thankfully, both sides of the aisle will be represented and will have actual teams based on their parties of both Republican and Democrat and will have their own uniforms and home courts. So far it's been confirmed to be included on the Wii at the moment but they're likely to be on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions in an upcoming update.

Now it's only a matter of time before
