Wager Match Caters to Elite Players Only
September 2nd, 2010 7 Comments
So when you stick in that Call of Duty disc and meander the internets for some cannon fodder, are you killing more than you are killed? More than that, do you usually place in the top three? If so, Black Ops’ Wager Match mode is for you.
But if, like me, you don’t generally place in the top three, why would you ever, ever, play the new Wager Match modes that were being so hyped by Treyarch last night?
It’s not like Deathmatch is a random game where sometimes you place at the top, sometimes you place at the bottom. CoD is a skill-based game, and generally you end up in the same part of the scoreboard every time (with a little variance).
Wager Match rewards the top three players of any given match. Usually Deathmatch is eight players. So 37.5% of the players are rewarded, the rest lose out. So if you take the whole CoD community, 62.5% of them have no reason to play Wager Match. (Of course, there is some variation. Sometimes you do better than other times. But on the whole, you get my point.)
So Wager Match, this big new mode that Treyarch put into the game, will only cater to a small percentage of all the players. I know how well I typically do, so there’s no way I’m wasting my money in Wager Match.
Wager Match = Useless
No 3D MGS4 With Trophy Support Soon
September 2nd, 2010 4 Comments
Hideo Kojima has spoken on twitter saying he would like to do a complete version of MGS4 with 3D and trophy support for PS3 but does not have the time do it. He does however leave it open as a possibility for someone else to do it…
Hideo Kojima’s exact Twitter comment;
“I wanted to make a ‘Complete Version’ with trophy support and 3D, but if I did that I wouldn’t be able to work on a new game. I wonder if someone else would make it for me.”
There is still hope that it may eventually happen and hey, its a better response than the usual “we hear you”…

New PS3 Game Answers One Age Old Question
September 1st, 2010 11 Comments
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get into fisticuffs with the chihuahua!
Tokyo Jungle, a new game announced by Sony for the PS3, is a follow up of Afrika. Unlike Afrika, this game takes place on the streets of an uninhabited Tokyo in the year 20XX. There are no humans in the game to play as. Instead you take control of 1 out of 80 different types of animals who have nothing else to do but duke it out in the desolate city.
Tokyo Jungle will include a Story Mode and Survival Mode and will release in Japan sometime this Winter.

September 1st, 2010 10 Comments
Speculation is abound for the PlayStation 3 to get Google TV sometime in the future. Google says:
Google TV is a new experience made for television that combines the TV you know and love with the freedom and power of the Internet.
Here’s some of the facts we know:
- Google’s partners in this Google TV venture are Sony, Logitech, Intel, and Dish Network.
- PlayStation has a HDTV/DVR add on unit that can act as a TV tuner and a digital video recorder (utilizing the PS3 hard drive), called PlayTV in Europe and Australia and called the torne in Japan.
- Apple has been all over the media with its Apple TV lately.
- Google TV will be in the upcoming Sony Bravia TVs and in set-top boxes (among other places).
Here’s some rumors we think we know:
- CVG learned new PS3 sku’s where in the works, a low end 250G model and a high end 500G model. The new models will also come with built in 802.11n WiFi for faster wireless internet connectivity.
- Mashable learned “Google TV will eventually integrate with Sony Playstation.” though no source is cited.

New Feature: Group Email Subscription
September 1st, 2010 4 Comments
Now it’s much easier to follow what’s happening in your favorite group. Go to a group and you’ll see a “Email Options” link. From there you have several options:
- No Email – I will read this group on the web
- Weekly Summary Email – Get a summary of new topics each week
- This gets sent out on Saturday
- Daily Digest Email – Get all the day’s activity bundled into a single email
- This gets sent out at 1 a.m. MT so it’s waiting for you in the morning
- New Topics Email – Send new topics as they arrive (but don’t send replies)
- All Email – Send all group activity as it arrives
Note: If you select “Daily Digest” or “All Email” you will get regular updates in addition to group forum posts. But if you select any of the other options above you will not get the regular updates. So if you want to know about everything that goes on in a group I’d recommended “Daily Digest” or “All Email”.
You can also just subscribe to a specific group forum topic as well. Go to a group and click on the forum link. Next to each of the topics is a “mute” or “follow” link. Just click it to switch between the two. For those in the co-writers group I highly recommend you select either “Daily Digest” or “All Email”.

Get an eye load of these new screens for Batman: Arkham City featuring a Halle Berry inspired Catwoman along with Two Face and cheeky Harley Quinn. Arkham City is looking every bit as good as its predecessor Arkham Asylum with heavily detailed characters and . The photos were uploaded to a flickr account belonging to 1337guyzorz2 who has since deleted them! They feature a great range of shots showcasing new moves, locations and the good old Detective mode. Batman Arkham City is due in autumn/fall 2011. Hit the jump for the gallery featuring full high res screens!
