After the alliance of alien races known as the Covenant attacks Earth, the player explores the ruined city of New Mombasa to discover what happened to their missing teammates, separated from each other as they entered the city.

Cheats For Call Of Duty 5 On Wii…
(SkyNewswire.com)- Coming to two years after its launch, the consoles continue to be going great guns. Of late though, new releases of Wii games such as Wii Fit, Blast Works, We Ski and so forth are looking like the Wii is finally coming into its own in that area too. If there had been any lessons learnt from the launch of the consoles, top on the list should be the pliant issues. The premium pricing of Wii video games does not help things either.
The price of the games adds up quickly as more and more of them are pumped out and it does not look like the cost of the games is coming down soon. Games Download Service sites are found all over the shop on the net.

Modern Warefare 2 is probably the best must-own video game of 2009
Modern Warfare 2 arrives riding a wave of hype unprecedented in the world of video games. The original Modern Warfare became one of the sleeper hits of the decade, steadily gaining in sales and word-of-mouth to become one of the top-selling first person action shooters of all time.
The latest Modern Warfare went on sale this past Tuesday. Retail giant Wal-Mart had its supplies ready to go at midnight on Monday. Popular video game retailer GameStop had its doors open at midnight across the nation as well, hosting parties as eager gamers waited in line for their copy. 4.7 million copies were reportedly sold on Tuesday alone in the U.S. and the U.K., equaling $310 million at the register. That total easily beats the previous one-day record holder, Grand Theft Auto IV, which sold 3.6 million copies in May 2008.
It starts with the single-player campaign. I bet you won’t find a game this intense on today’s market. Unlike its predecessor with its fictional Middle Eastern setting, Modern Warefare 2 drops you into the real-life war-torn country of Afghanistan and doesn’t let up. At its core, MW2 follows a very similar formula to the original Modern Warefare since you are guided through thrilling set pieces in a linear, dramatic fashion. If you want to follow a gripping, straight-forward action story, this is the game you should buy.
Real world locations range from the Middle East to snowy mountainsides, and the action hardly ever lets up. As in the original Modern Warefare, you’ll play several different story arcs, all aimed to stop a war and take the bad guy down.
Looks like there are new reports that Project Natal is set for launch in November 2010 for about $80.
Project Natal, the controllerless gaming interface Microsoft is developing for Xbox 360, made TIME magazine’s list of the 50 best inventions of 2009. In fact, it’s invention No. 5.
From TIME:
xbox 360
Since time immemorial – or at least since Pong – one barrier that has stood between gamers and total Tron-like immersion in their video games has been the controller: the joystick, trackball, mouse, light gun or whatever. This year Microsoft demonstrated a technology, code-named Project Natal, that enables players to control games using only body movements and voice commands, no controller required – the gamer’s body becomes the controller. Project Natal uses several cameras, plus a highly specialized microphone and a lot of fancy software, to track the gamer’s body and interpret his or her voice. You move your hand, and the Master Chief (or whoever) moves his hand. It’s that simple. And that cool.
It’s still up in the air when Microsoft plans to release Natal to the gaming world. Predictions are late 2010 or early 2011. (Update: MCV reports that Project Natal will be set for release in November 2010 for about $80.)
Dennis Durkin, CEO of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Division, told investors during a conference call Thursday that Microsoft started talking to third-party game developers about Natal in February.
“Part of the reason we announced it at E3 and before we were ready to launch it,” Durkin said, referring to June’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, “was to get third-party developers in line.”
He confirmed again that Natal will work with all existing Xbox 360s.
“This is like a relaunch in the middle of a console generation,” Durkin said.
zhu zhu pets
There’s a new toy in town. This Christmas, kids and adults across America will be pestering Santa Claus for their own Zhu Zhu Pet hamster, a new “smart” toy somewhat reminiscent of last decade’s lovable talking Furby.
Looking more like a child’s furry slipper than a real hamster, the Zhu Zhu seems to have the same kind of sensors that make the Roomba vacuum cleaner work, so when the critters are dropped into their habitat (sold separately), they appear to navigate about as well as a living rodent. There is a level of artificial intelligence in the Zhu Zhu’s OS and it can make over 40 noises depending on the stimuli. The little Zhu Zhus appear to have minds of their own as they dart around the room, zip up the ramps of their habitat and ride in their own little cars. It’s actually a pretty amazing toy and unlike real hamsters won’t poop, smell funny or procreate furiously!
There’s only one problem with the Zhu Zhu Pets: and that is that there aren’t enough of them to meet the demand. They’re showing up on EBay and via Amazon Marketplace dealers at vastly inflated prices. But it’s not like the Zhu Zhu Pets are an endangered species, so you might want towait until they show up again on the shelves of your local retailer at their normal $9.95 list price
