Activision Responds To Abysmal 'Tony Hawk: Shred' Sales
Posted 11/19/10 5:25 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360
Abysmal
"Tony Hawk: Shred" may have a long way to go before it can be considered a successful title, but Activision believes the game could be poised to make a comeback soon. The skateboarding romp only sold around 3,000 copies during its first week on the market in October, according to a report on GamesIndustry.biz, but the official line from its publisher is that the best may be yet to come.

Valve Celebrates 'Portal 2' Delay With New Date
Posted 11/19/10 2:04 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in Mac, News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Valve's latest "Portal 2" delay looks like a big bump if you consider that the sequel was at one point expected to come out in 2010. If you compare the newly announced April launch date with its previous target launch of February 9, 2011, however, the latest delay of two months doesn't seem quite so severe — at least that's the way Valve would like for you to see the situation.
Just How Long Does It Take To Hit Max Prestige In 'Black Ops'?
Posted 11/19/10 1:48 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
While I understand the reason for Prestige in "Call of Duty," I'm not one to take it. Honestly I'd much rather be at my full potential, gear-wise, than have to restart from level 1 in order to get a new icon next to my name. The folks at Machinima.com apparently disagree with me, as they're attempting to get to full prestige before anyone else. To do this, they've been playing the game, non-stop, since launch. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and live-streaming their progress.

Astro On The Go: A*Star Ear Buds and The Wireless MixAmp
Posted 11/18/10 6:25 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Reviews, Tech
Earlier this year, I was able to check out Astro's A30 headset. Astro is known as one of the most popular headset brands for professional gamers, but the earlier A40 model was simply too bulky for casual use. Astro's answer was to make the A30s, which were smaller and more portable. And even though they sounded great, there was a problem. As a glasses-wearer, it's tough to wear headsets for longer than a half hour, as the pressure for the ear cups starts to get uncomfortable. So I recommended the A30's to everyone but glasses-wearers. Thankfully, those myopic souls now have an alternative.
