Posted 11/11/09 6:30 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360
The ESRB pointed its finger at sexual content when it placed a Mature rating on "Assassin's Creed 2," and the spoiler-laden explanation they gave goes into even further detail. The new sequel has apparently bolstered its content with "sexual overtones" and at least one "seduction mini-game."
Infinity Ward On What's Next After 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'
Posted 11/11/09 6:00 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Exclusives, Interviews, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
In the last of our lengthy series of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" interview segments we talk to Infinity Ward Creative Strategist, Robert Bowling, about what's next for Infinity Ward. Check out the interview clip above.
Considering the blatant cliffhanger at the end of "Modern Warfare 2," I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing "MW3" in 2011, but that's just an educated guess. Also, Activision may cry if Infinity Ward goes off to make their much-anticipated kart racer.
Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony" doesn't seem to have provoked nearly the the amount of controversy that the boy-on-boy kissing of "Bully" originally did when the game first appeared on the PlayStation 2. The company many have a second shot at testing the waters of public opinion once again with their private school-set franchise, as "Bully 2" may be be in development.

Nelly Furtado is another in a long line of musicians that have stepped up to record a song in Simlish. In this case it's Furtado's "Manos Al Aire," which is featured in the latest trailer for the game, watchable above.
Hackers have apparently made short work of Infinity Ward's much-ballyhooed IWNet system, at least on the PC. The website, Call Of Duty Hacks, has posted a YouTube video showing a ranked PC match, with the player utilizing a vast array of cheat methods. Aim bots and being able to see through walls are just two of the major advantages given to the apparent cheater.
Project Natal Launching Next November, Starting At $50?
Posted 11/11/09 1:45 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, Xbox 360
Project Natal's price may no longer be a mystery, as a new report predicts an MSRP at launch as low as $50 with a release date in November 2010. The set could be accompanied by as many as 14 games from various big-name publishers, if these details turn out to be legit.
Silence, as they say, is golden. It's a rule that holds more true in video games than in most media. Quiet isn't necessarily a good thing during the heat of play – you want to hear your enemies approach, some killer tunes, Yoshi's squeal as he devours some witless sentient mushroom. A game is best served by silence in its protagonist, the lead character and, very often, the hero you get to control when you pick up the controller.
'Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition' To Come Via DLC
Posted 11/10/09 6:15 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Xbox 360
Capcom reached a crossroads with the U.S. market after announcing the newly packaged "Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition" for Japan. The revamped version of the game, which includes new content and features, could either come to North America as new edition of the game or in the form of a download that may have prompted early buyers to flood the secondary market with their used "RE5" discs. After conducting an online poll, however, Capcom has opted to go with DLC.
