While there are a few new modes to the game like online Blitz Battles and an Elite league where you can create dream teams via collecting cards, the main mode everyone is looking forward to is Blitz Gauntlet, where you

Recently Revealed Easter Egg Shows that Modern Warfare 3 Has an Angry Bear Wearing a Tutu
It seems that the people at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games really know how to make a questionable Easter Egg, especially one that's a bit creepy. They decided to put an angry bear in a Tutu in one of the multiplayer maps of Modern Warfare 3 (as seen on this youtube video).
So here's how you get to see this odd spectacle of an Easter Egg. On the map Mission, once you spawn, switch to spectator mode. Make sure that you have your camera on freecam mode, so you can move freely throughout the map. Once you are free to move, head towards the church near the bridge, then head to a nearby cracked open building. Fly into the building's crack and you'll see it.
Yep. That's a bear wearing a tutu. There is no explanation for it, only there because it's there.

And with news of pulling most materials for the console from Japanese stores, it hasn't stopped one shop in Yamaguchi Prefecture from making a store dedicated to the XBox 360 (according

The 3DS Still Beats Out the Vita in Japan
Despite that it's not out here in the states, the PlayStation Vita is currently out in Japan. Its release was met with the usual kinds of enthusiasm and long lines. And it has met tons of favorable praise from the hordes of Sony faithful as well as local Japanese media outlets. However, when it comes to making comparisons with its competitor, Nintendo and its 3DS, that's a bit of a different story.
The sales numbers from the latest reports show that Nintendo still dominates the portable gaming console market, despite the huge sales of the Vita. According to some

Peter Moore of EA Claims BF3 Dented Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 3 left its mark during November, video gaming's biggest retail month. And it still continues to dominate the video game scene right now. However, Peter Moore, EA's CEO, insists that it's game, Battlefield 3, managed to take a chunk out of the huge series' market share.
"I think when the dust fully settles, maybe when we're looking at the end of our fiscal year, we'll do an analysis and I think we will have taken [market] share...I don't think there's any doubt about that, unless everything BF3 sells is just incremental."
