The new installment of the Call of Duty franchise is coming out soon with Call of Duty: World at War, with this the beta is now out on the Xbox360 and PC. At almost a gig download for both the PC and XBOX360 we downloaded the beta and checked out the beta. After playing quite a bit of this we found several things. The game played well, the net code was great, the models looked good, the weapons mostly were good and we generally liked what we saw. Except for one simple thing... all this beta is, is a mod of Call of Duty 4. The game is identical in almost every way including that of the leveling ranks, the way the game feels and runs, pretty much everything. After that of owning and playing every Call of Duty game that has been released I was very disappointed that the game seems like a free mod that we have been used to downloading for PC games for years. What was even more annoying as a bit of a self proclaimed WW2 buff that most of the additional extras to the weapons are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY fictional. These additional weapon mods are exactly the same as the ones from Call of Duty 4. This is by far the most annoying thing in this beta in my opinion. With this in mind this game is good and I will buy it but that fact that it seems that the people involved in this new addition to Call of Duty seem to have really just skinned COD4. It is disappointing but it is still fun to play, it’s just shames that seem to have not looked at any WW2 books or used their imagination. If I am to get nitty picky as well you can use any weapon you like with any Country your playing as. Well... yeah, think that’s it.

Red Factions new addition Guerrilla beta is out, and at just about a gig download it is worth the effort. Just like there previous games Red Faction : Guerrilla prides its self on destructible environments. These unlike the buildings in Battlefield bad company done have invincible supports to sustain the buildings integrity. With this buildings can be brought crashing down but removing the appropriate fixtures. This is helped by the fact everyone gets the best weapon in the game the "sledgehammer" which can be used as a melee weapon and can be used to destroy buildings or making your own doors through walls. With this you also get a nice new addition of backpack upgrades. These add the effects suck as short periods of flight, super fast running, weapon damage and my favorite the Rino which when used can push yourself through walls destroying everything in your way... even other players. It is great fun and a lot of loughs. The game itself runs very nicely, smooth and looks great, especialy when your destroying buildings or smashing another person flying with a sledgehammer.

After many new E3 videos and screen shots this game looks like it should be great. Lets just hope they can get there multi player online play together with a strong single player game for a big success. Below is the new trailer along with screen shots of the multi player menus. It looks like they have put a lot of thought into the multi player side of things which is good to see. Also looks like there will be 6 different classes to choose from including Medic, Engineer, Grenadier, Scout, Tactician and Saboteur. From these pictures it looks like ranks, leader boards, statistics and awards will be all the go. Can't wait for this one.

Microsoft have announced that Windows Live the PC version of the xbox's Live. Microsoft changed there service to be free where to play games live on the xbox still is charged at a monthly rate. This means should give some incentive to play games cross platform now, as almost all games on the PC are free to play already. Now if only Microsoft could take this into account and withdraw the fees from the xbox live gold access, with the competition at Sony also having free to play games.

 Yesterdays much anticipated PS3 Firmware 2.40 where finally the Playstation 3 would finally get the cross media bar and trophies BUT unfortunately this release seem to be preemptive. It seems that along the downloading the 2.40 update enough Playstation owners were finding this update also had a chance of turning your PS3 into an expensive paper weight.
While apparently the problems only affected a small percentage of the gaming population, Sony explain they are committed to providing the PS3 community with XMB access features delivered in the v2.40 update, and that they are working on the problem with the aim of fixing it before re-releasing the firmware. Following the reports of damaged hardware, we have removed the firmware from our servers and will re-upload it as soon as Sony announce that the problems have been fixed.
