SFN EXCLUSIVE : First Details of the New Call of Duty!

As I have stated both here and here, I am always on the hunt to bring you the latest and greatest info from the wonderful world of gaming, as well as all of the hottest exclusives that I know you all dream about! Today I have the biggest exclusive that you awesome readers of SFN have ever read : the very first details of the new Call of Duty! Rumours about COD games float about more frequently than the cold, but this time I can bring you this bit of juicy gossip that I am 85% sure is correct. I know, I know that leaves a 25% chance of error but my knack for investigative journalism as well as my gut, tells me that this is a bona fide piece of news that you will love!

If you’re a frequent reader of the site or if you follow me on Twitter (if you do, thanks!) then you’ll know that I read the Official PlayStation Magazine (@OPM_UK on Twitter) every single month and the very first games that I ever played were demos on PS1 which came with the magazine plus, I’ve been buying the mag for years. In this month’s issue which features EA’s Medal Of Honour on the cover (now on sale!) they have a full page poster ad stating that they’ll be revealing the new Call Of Duty, which will be developed by Treyarch, next month. Not wanting to wait until next month for the info, I scoured every page of the mag, from cover to cover, hoping for a tidbit of news about the new game. However, my search was unsuccessful until I went right back to the ad for next month’s issue.

The ad shows a simple image of a grenade, with no other suggestions about the game. So, using my instincts I headed to Forestle (an eco-friendly search engine) and did a few searches for “Grenades” , just to see the look of similar grenades. As expected, my search came up with tons of grenades that looked just like this and so I refined my search to “Vietnam Grenades” (because I’d heard the rumours) and by George, did I nab this exclusive!

My searching turned up an image form the site ioffer , which was offering a lot of war memorabilia for sale, including guns and grenades. The grenades that were shown were described a being used “during the Vietnam War” which, if you didn’t know was one of the battles fought during the Cold War between 1959 – 1975 and took place in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. You can see that the grenades form the mag and the site are almost identical and they both have long ‘scratch-like’ indentations going from the top to the bottom which only helps to prove my point even further. Also, these types of ‘lemon hand grenades’ were used by the US Army at the time which could indicate the chance to play as a US Army soldier for the umpteenth time (!) when Treyarch’s new take of the Call of Duty series is released.

Thank you for reading this, and if you’d like to support the site and encourage me to search for even more awesome exclusives, please take a look at the ads on the site (above the heading). I really do appreciate it!

Tekken 6 Wireless Sticks (Hey That Rhyme’s!)

 

While Street Fighter 4 may have been the best fighting game of the year, so far,  there may be a contender that can  ‘reclaim that title’  and it’s name is “Tekken 6”. Anyway, enough of that movie trailer crap and on to the actual headline…

So some cool company called HORI have produced a pretty darn awesome peripheral for Tekken 6 (see image above) and it will act just like arcade machine controls, only it has a couple of added features-

a) it’s wireless!

and

b) it won’t get jammed like the Street Fighter IV fight stick did ;D

 

He he he, I’m looking forward to Tekken 6 because it will make a great post tile

Tekken 6 Takes The Trophy < hey it’s alliteration!

We all had a little inkling that Left 4 Dead 2 would be coming to PS3 but with no official evidence it could never be confirmed. Well, now that there is this screenshot (see above picture) PS3 owners can rejoice that they are getting this marvellous game (if I do say so myself!) Many of us are looking forward to this as although Valve have steered clear of PS3 in the past, this shows that are slowly coming to terms with the console’s potential!

It looks like recent release UFC 2009 Undisputed may have some serious competition in the form of Fight Night Round 4, with each trailer and preview of the game making it look like a good competitor for lots of other fighting games including UFC and Smackdown Vs Raw and it’s one of these sorts of videos that helps to solidify this very claim.

A Trailer DaVinci Would Be Proud Of!

The setting, a beautifully, crisp rolling background of rocky hills, mud-brick huts and disgruntled, stern faced guards. The; approximately 6 centuries in the past. The place; somewhere in the middle east. The game...... Assassin's Creed. Do you remeber the astonishing graphics and the creatively written storyline? Sure you do! Yeah, and I bet that you remeber the annoyingly repetitive gameplay too.

With any luck Altair's second video game outing will be a huge step up from the first. Well I hope so as after my first viewing of this trailer, a shiver went down my spine!

Mass Leak On The River Amazon

To start off this post off I should really say thank you to the folks at Amazon for giving me this juicy info for this post. So thanks a bunch Amazon!

Let me explain...

A couple of days ago some foolish person at Amazon published the plot for Mass Effect 2 on the shopping site. In the space where Amazon post a pragraph telling you a little bit about the product, for Mass Effect 2 they have done exactly that only where they should have put a small xdescription of the game the have instead posted the plot:

"The second chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy takes you to the darkest reaches of space, where you must uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of humans across many worlds. Prepare yourself for a suicide mission to save mankind. Travel the galaxy to assemble a team of soldiers and combat specialists, and launch an all-out assault on the heart of enemy territory."

My guess is that Mass Effect (1+2) developers BioWare won't be too happy about this!

Like the sound of the game? Why not pre-order it from Amazon?


Thankful for the leak? Or do you think that it shouldn't have happened in the first place?Say your thoughts in the comments box below.

Ali Or Tyson?

Who would win a match between Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson? That is the very same question that developers EA Canada asked gamers not long ago. The team over there recently released this intriguing video set to entice the masses like Barack Obama making a speech. I loved Fight Night ROund 3 with its seductive graphics and its astonishing cast of boxers, so if Fight Night Round 4 can match its predecessor or even do better then FNR4 will surely fly off shelves like hot cakes when it's released this summer.

Alpha Protoc-o-o-l

Games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion have had huge success in the video game market. There's no surprise there, with even the most casual gamers ourchasingthose games fr their console and or their PCs. Some argue that thses games popularity stems from the amazingly creative ideas that the developers maaged to come up with tohugh some some say it's because of the excellent way that capture the RPG genre's 'essence'. Regardless of your thoughts as to what caused their fame, if you enjoyed playing games like Fallout 3 or any games in the Oblivion franchise then Alpha Protocol will be right up your (metaphorical) street. Most of us here on the interweb who have seen the video below all agree that the game looks 'scrum-diddly-umptious' but I want you to make your own mind up so take a gander at the video below and tell me what you think.

You Can Call Me Don

The chances are that the majority of the people reading this have seen at least one of The Godfather films are pretty darn high but most of you may not have played The Godfather video game. Well the first game too repetitive and pretty mediocre at best and so for the fairly small group of us who played the first movie tie-in game, the premise of a heavily, and yes I do mean heavily , improved sequel was a delightful change for the better. Don't beleive me? Take a look at the new trailer for the game below.

Fan of the films? Why not buy them on DVD? Or instead you could just pre-order the game!

Wii See Dead People

No, this post is not in fact about the movie 'The Sixth Sense' and instead it is actually about an upcoming title on the Nintendo Wii. After their great success with Dead Space on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, the developers of the game are set to release a sequel.

Exclusively on Nintendo Wii.

Judging by the video below the game looks set to look like the fight for the last Krispy Kreme at a Weight Watchers meeting.
I.e deliciously gory.

Not heard of the original, Dead Space? Why not buy it from Amazon?

Do You Remember?

A couple of days I wrote a post about some Mass Effect DLC that BioWare has indevelopment. Well ,it has ocme to light that downloadable content is not in fact, the only thing the sneaky developer has up its sleeves. Earlier today, a teaser trialer was on the web for, dare I say it, Mass Effect 2. This unfortunately short video reveals a snippet of indirect information regarding the future of some certain characters and a possible plotline. To see what I mean watch the video below.
