It’s New York Comic Con, and whilst you might not expect any major news to come out of there, there is one interesting tidbit that’s worthy of a mention. An email from Activision says that free roaming action title Prototype (not to be confused with Sony’s inFamous, although they’re similar) is slated for a June 2009 release. I like the potential this game has, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until the summer to find out if it’s good or not.

Ken Lally has confirmed that he’s doing voice work for the upcoming Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (or “Call Of Duty 6″). Now I know that everyone is wondering, “who the hell is Ken Lally”. Well, acording to IMDB, Lally is the voice actor for Albert Wesker in the upcoming Resident Evil 5 and appeared as ‘The German’ in two episodes of the current season of Heroes. Lally confirmed his affiliation with Infinity Ward’s new shooter in an interview with Coin-Op TV. This makes it extremely likely that we’ll see a new Call Of Duty in 2009. I can’t wait. Announced at E3 maybe?

Call of Duty is back to its World War II roots. But how has it changed to keep the franchise fresh?
[By Ryan]
Call Of Duty: World At War is the newest game in the Call Of Duty series. I’m not going to be a moron and call it “Call Of Duty 5″ like most people would, cause guess what, it’s not the fifth. SURPRISE! (Anyone remember Big Red One?) Anyway, the Call Of Duty series has gone back to it’s World War II roots. I’ve had a pretty extensive hands on with the online mode, and color me impressed. But is it Call Of Duty 4 with a new paint job, or does World At War hold it’s own in the series? Hit the jump for my answer, and my experience with the game thus far. (more…)

I am a massive Oasis fan (unlike some of our editors) and I was glad to see that Oasis’ new album is going to be released as DLC. It’s just a shame that it’s for the new Guitar Hero rather than Rock Band. I am going to be getting the game, but i’d just prefer it to be on Rock Band. I don’t know why, I just would. Hit the jump for more. (more…)

Call Of Duty 4’s campaign mode was great, it was amazing in fact but how much better would it’ve been if you could’ve had an online ally there with you? It would’ve been better. Treyarch are going to try and remedy that as today they announced, via a new trailer, that Call Of Duty: World At War would include a 4 player online co-op campaign mode. No longer will you have to fight alongside just the A.I., however good it might be it’s always better knowing someone has got your back.
This has got me really excited about the game now. I like playing the campaign mode in co-op. Don’t ask me why, I just do. It’s probably something to do with the cameraderie of it all, or maybe just bad A.I. Whatever it is this is definitely a cool feature to have in the game a redeeming quality to something some people may find at tad outdated.
The game is coming this November. 2008 seems like one of the best years to be a gamer, well in my opinion at least.

[By Steve]
Rumour control here, after teaming up with Aerosmith and Metallica ever wondered who would be next for the Guitar Hero treatment? Well during an interview with Rolling Stone, guitar legend himself Slash had this to say on the subject of the Activision series
“Well, having the Aerosmith guys do it was very cool ’cause Aerosmith’s one of the bands I was heavily influenced by. And Metallica’s doing it, that’s great. Those are two ones that I think gives it some credibility. And they’re doing a Hendrix one, which is great.”
Now coming just a couple of months after Jennie Hendrix, who runs the Hendrix estate, had confirmed that tracks had been supplied to Activision and had authorized an official Hendrix avatar for the game. I think it’s perhaps fair to assume this one is more than a rumour but as to what form, stand alone or dlc, any Jimi Hendrix content would take we’ll just have to wait and see.

Along with NPH Sting, Activision also announced four new songs that would be appearing in Guitar Hero: World Tour. With the ammount of Rock Band songs on offer not alot about Guitar Hero’s setlist excites me (except Hendrix). Hit the jump for more. (more…)

[By Anthony]
North American (and occasionaly UK, although i’ve never seen one) retailer GameStop has officially removed the Ghostbusters video game from their pre-order scheme (?). It was announced a few weeks back that Activision would no longer be publishing the title and it seems like it has floated into the gaming wilderness. Could GameStop know something everyone else doesn’t? It’s unlikely, they’re probably just covering their backs after allowing pre-orderers to have a full refund if they didn’t like the game. Hit the jump for more Ghostbusters…things.
