If you are planning on delving into the pending Battlefield 3 on your computer you will need to create an Origin account. Origin is Electronic Arts digital distributing application, and is the largest competitor for Steam, who it has been confirmed will not be offering Battlefield 3. This should not be a huge surprise for gamers, and personally the move by DICE and EA makes a lot of sense.
Origin offers a wide range of gaming opportunities for PC dedicated gamers, and is an excellent host for Battlefield 3 when it finally becomes available on October 25th. The multi-platform title is set to be Modern Warfares largest competitor, and already gaming

On June 24thwe blogged about the possibilities of a Modern Warfare 3 survival mode, and since E3 the hype about this new mode has been brewing. Recently a game play video of MW3s survival mode has given us a whole new perception of its possibilities. The video is basically a walkthrough of all the options and perks associated with the survival mode. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to say that it is going to be absolutely amazing; it is a whole new way to enjoy the weapons, perks, and game play of Modern Warfare games.
It is exactly as you would have imagined, with some twists here and there. Survival mode is a wave defense game type in which you accumulate money, purchase new devices, and outlast the hordes of enemies as long as you can.

Zombies mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops has seen a large series of updates during this year, and on August 23rd the public gets the opportunity to download five more maps. I have been consistently playing Shangri La, and I still havent mastered the maps tricks and Easter eggs. This being said, I might have to put my efforts on the Shangri La map on hold for the new Rezurrection downloadable content package.
Rezurrection is a collection of the four original zombie maps from World at War, Nacht der Untoten. Verruckt. Shi No Numa. and Der Riese, plus an all new map called Moon. These remakes should be an excellent addition to Black Ops sterling record of zombie annihilation. I personally enjoyed the original zombie maps, and I cannot wait to see them updated and outfitted for Black Ops game play.
