Infinity Ward, the studio that brought us Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare, just released the first trailer for Modern Warfare 2 to include full gameplay and rendered cutscenes. If you enjoyed COD4, and who didn't, this trailer will have you salivating to get back in and fight some more eastern-bloc ultranationalists! The video is amazing and leads me to believe that this game will be as good as the first Modern Warfare. So get ready, on November 11th of this year you can get back into the fight!
So far this fall will be good for gamers! Halo 3: ODST, and Modern Warfare 2 both confirmed! The way I see it, once E3 happens and more release dates are announced, this season will only get better!
I am ready. Are you?

Star Trek - the Motion Picture
A review of the new Star Trek movie will not be shown today due to not all of the Prophets having seen it yet. Please check your local listings for a rescheduled review.
Six and Devil did go see it yesterday in the afternoon. It was a bit of a cold day anyway - so why not go see a movie. It was very good. JJ Abrams was able to create a Trek that was courteous to the original while creating a new story line. The action was fast and furious and the special effects were right up there.
It was a little confusing watching Syler play Mr. Spock. I kept waiting for him to use his powers to freeze time and slit someone's head open. It never happened - but that was just as well. And then there is Eric Bana as the bad guy Nero. Again, I was like 'uh oh, dont piss him off, he will go all green on your ass!!'. That too, did not happen.
Anyway, I highly recommend going to see it. It is a very good movie and moves right along. So until then, enjoy some pics and let me know when you have seen it and what you thought of it.

'A Song Of Ice And Fire' Coming to Next-Gen Consoles
Cyanide Studio has acquired the rights to produce George R. R. Martin's 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' series of books for Next-gen consoles and the PC. In case you aren't familiar with ASOIF, or George R. R. Martin, THAT IS TOTALLY FREAKING COOL! So we now have production started on the HBO series slated to start filming in Ireland in the fall, and now a game (series?) has been attached to a studio. YES! Now... if GRRM is able to get 'A Dance With Dragons' to print this year, all will be right with Westeros!!
BTW - if you haven't read these yet, stop what you are doing, go to your local book purveyor or Amazon, and get 'A Game Of Thrones'. You will NOT be sorry. In fact, you will probably call me and thank me because your mind will have been blown. At which point I will in turn give your message to Merlin as he is who turned me on to them, and blew my mind. SRSLY, they are so good that other books I read now are just OK. Think I'm kidding? Read the first one. I DARE you. Got ya! You're hooked and you can't stop! Martin's ability to create a grand, epic world with THOUSANDS of characters and intricate woven plots is unparalleled. I in fact am reading them for a 2nd time in anticipation of book five, 'A Dance With Dragons', and it can't come too soon!!
Here's the link to Joystiq for the story and pictures of Winterfell and Jon & Ghost from thewolfswood.com for your enjoyment.

Gamer Score and You
So this past Christmas, my nephew got Guitar Hero 3 for his Play Station. I played it that day over at my sister's house and I quickly learned that it was a fun game to play. That and I totally kicked my nephew's butt!! So within the next few days I decided that I was going to purchase the game for me and my X-Box 360 (far superior to the Play Station). So I did.
Then I looked at my gamer score and saw that I was under 1000 points. I thought that was rather lame so I set out to raise my score. I set a goal of 3000 points for myself to get to by this summer. I mean I was just under 1000 - so I figured 2000 points shouldn't be that hard to accumulate. But how to do this without breaking my bank account and buying every cool game out there?? Simple - play the games I already have! Mind you, I had Gears of War that I had not played and I had a few other games that I had tried and put away. It was just a matter of playing games and having fun playing them. I think I can handle that!!
So I started playing Guitar Hero 3. In a matter of days I had beaten the Tour on Easy mode and was more than half way through the Tour on Medium. I tried Hard - and it was really hard. So I stuck with Medium. Then I borrowed GH 2 from a friend and applied the same technique. Blew away Easy and Medium on that, all the while racking up gamer score points.
Then Devil persuaded me to try Gears of War. So I did. WOW!! Talk about a life changing event. OK - so maybe its not that good - but it was the best game I had played since Halo 3 game out. Devil and I co-opped our way through the campaign on that and finished shortly before the release of Gears 2. Well I did go out and buy that game. Gears 2 blew away GOW. It was awesomely good. Once again, Devil and I plowed through the campaign on that one too. Then did it again on Hardcore!! NICE.
So by this time, I had hurtled across the 2000 point barrier and was well on my way to my 3000 points. Also, by this time, Bungie released the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3. Along with that were a whole slew of new achievements. So the Prophets have been working on unlocking many of those achievements and enjoying the new maps.
While I am just shy of 3000 points, I am pretty sure I will be there shortly. I put together a list of the games played by the Prophets and how much gamer score we have achieved in each game. My challenge to each of the Prophets is to get to 3000 points! I will play Halo, Gears of War, Guitar Hero and Battlefield: Bad Company with any of you any time. The only game I won't play is that DDR/DS 2 game that Domino got (he claims for his daughter - but I know its his favorite). So take a look at the chart and start building up for that 3000 mark!

Speaking of Movies...
This weekend, the new Star Trek movie came out. Did you see it yet? What did you think? I have not, but I hear that it's awesome. TOTALLY F'n awesome. I am blocking some time next weekend to see it as both media reviews and friends of mine have all corroborated it's Trek awesomeness...
Next up? Terminator Salvation. This is the one that I think I have been the most anticipatory for. The trailers all make it seem like an amazing thrill ride through the apocalyptic, SkyNet controlled future that up till now, we have only gotten brief glimpses at. Well now that the movie is about 10 days away, here is a new FOUR MINUTE trailer of amazing quality, that should cement your decision to go to see this when it comes out. Again I can only hope that it's as good as the trailer and that they didn't blow the good scenes just for that. If the movie lives up to this 4 minute batch of glorious eye candy, then we're in for one hell of a movie.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this, the total shizzle....

Ps. Let me know what you think of the new layout. I am trying to give more room for posted videos and images. The other layout would not allow for stretching and would send YouTube vids off the page. Now I can post them more bigglier!
