Call of Duty: World at War is holding on to the #1 spot for the second week in a row after the release of its latest map pack, while Resident Evil 5 slipped and Gears of War 2 has started climbing the chart due to last weeks big patch update. I’m guessing Gears of War 2 will jump to the #3 if not #2 spot on this week’s most played list after the release of the Snowblind Map Pack today. (more…)

If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen what’s really worth seeing… all two minutes of it. The stylistic action relies heavily on gratuitous slow motion and close-ups of Mark Wahlberg’s bewildered facial expressions, as if he’s constantly wondering what he’s gotten himself into.
