Activision has teamed up with Monster Energy Drinks to bring you a new kind of energy drink experience: The "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" Energy Power Maxxtreme 2.

As someone who has spent far too much time with games like "Peggle," "Bejewled" and "Puzzle Quest," the prospect of "Gyromancer" shatters my very foundation.

Last week I trekked up to Ubisoft Montreal to get a studio tour and check out the progress being made on "Assassin's Creed 2" and "Avatar."
