Looks like the deal we mentioned on our podcast earlier this week may or may not be honored at your local Circuit City. Circuit City’s weekly flyer stated that you would receive a copy of Call of Duty 3 for free with the purchase of the new Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (both for Xbox 360). So many a gamer went into their local Circuit City with high hopes and money in hand only to be pwned at the register. The employees claim the ad in the flyer was a “misprint”. How does a company not only print an ad with the promotion mentioned twice, but also on their website online multiple times, and call it a “misprint”! I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m a little peeved about this bait-and-switch crap.

Anyway, you might still want to try it for yourself. And if you are able to get the deal let us know. Hopefully they’ll at least give you the poster.

Sounds pretty cool. COD4 is gonna be one of the biggest games of the year and I can’t wait for it.

Developers of COD4, Infinity Ward, have leaked a couple of new features for the multi-player mode.  First the highest level you can get to in your performance level ups will be 65.  That should keep some of you busy for at least 2 weeks right.  We really like this level up system just from the beta testing.  It was roughly a week to week and a half that we reached the max level up for the beta which was 16.  So it should take a little to reach 65.  Also they talked about prestige mode.  This is for people who reach level 65 max out the level up. Any in prestige mode will first get a “really cool icon so everyone knows your in prestige mode”.  But you will lose all your extras gained and you will start over from scratch.  This could help you to continuously play the multi- player for a long time.  Whether or not this will make it better we’ll see but we can’t wait for this game to drop.

PC gamers should be getting new comfy chairs with lots of padding because there are a gaggle of games coming in the near future for PC. This week a few demos dropped for some highly anticipated games. First off Unreal Tournament 3 demo dropped. Hopefully it will live up to the high caliber of fast paced shooter action that the first 2 have. Download it here Unreal Tourney 3 . Another big drop that looks like it could be a very solid title is Timeshift. It is a very pretty game that is rendered very well and the demo was solid that peaks or hope for the complete game. Download it here Timeshift . Last but certainly not least is the game that we are most excited about for the year is Call of Duty 4. We have been hyping this game for every console. The PC demo doesnt disappoint. Again it is beautifully done, it looks great and plays great. We simply can not wait for this game to release. Get it here Call of Duty 4 . There you go now get demoing and get yourself pumped for the full games!!!!
