    Bring the retro-bowling arcade experience home

    People love arcade games, and have since the 50's. Some of the earliest games were based off of other recreations, like for example bowling. I remember playing one of these in the arcade in town during my youth, but it never held the attraction to me like Battle Zone or Asteroids did.

    Infinity Ward defending the cost of MW2’s DLC

    Posted on March 25, 2010 | No Comments
    To say we were a tad flabbergasted that Modern Warfare 2's 5 map pack DLC costs $15 is about right. We weren't exactly outraged. It's just a video game after all and really doesn't matter that much. But $15 is a bit much for five maps with two of the recycled from previous Call of Duty games. Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist Rob Bowling disagrees. He calls it an investment. Well, Creative Strategist is just code for Public Relations so he kind of has to say that.

  • Wii can’t ‘deliver the cinematic experience’ needed for Modern Warfare 2

    Wii can’t ‘deliver the cinematic experience’ needed for Modern Warfare 2

    Posted on November 4, 2009 | No Comments
    Poor Wii owners (I'm one of them). There will be no Modern Warfare 2 for us. In a recent interview, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling explained that the Wii’s relatively underpowered innards in comparison to the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 make it impossible to replicate “the cinematic experience” across all platforms.

    Modern Warfare 2 delayed for the PC, Call of Duty trademarked for movie use

    Posted on October 6, 2009 | No Comments
    Two things: One, the PC release of Modern Warfare 2 has been delayed by a couple of weeks until November 24, 2009. The console versions are still on track of a November 10, 2009 release. Second, Hollywood is apparently in need of an all-American, shoot-'em-up, special effects nightmare of a movie because Activision has trademarked Call of Duty for movie use.

    So yeah, the PS3 motion controller will be available this Springtime, and the first “big” games to make use of it will be Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet. High Velocity Bowling will also use the controller, and it sounds absolutely thrilling.

    Nintendo! What are you doing? Don't get us wrong, it's great that you're shipping the black Wii remote to North America sometime this month. Our white ones are getting kind of dingy after a couple years of drunk Wii bowling. But what do we have to do to get the black Wii?

    It's back to school time and you know what that means: crazy parties just like in Girls Gone Wild! Well, maybe not. But at least there will be lots of drunken Wii Bowling which is sometimes more fun than girls with their tops off depending on your school.
