Call of Duty - World at War Nazi Zombie trailer (age gate)

Call of Duty: World at War thrusts players into the ruthless and gritty chaos of WWII combat and challenges them to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles of WWII that led to the demise of the Axis powers.

The latest release in the Call of Duty series is an expansion in the way of “Map Pack One” for the Xbox 360 and Sony (SNE) PS3. This download will include a new Zombies map and perks.

After Call of Duty 6 is released later this year, why not then release a spin-off game based on the popular Zombies mode. Activision could make this game for early 2010 release and I am sure the COD fans on Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony’s PS3 will love it.

Microsoft pay out over $90 million Xbox/Halo patent claim

Microsoft have payed out to PalTalk Holding in an undisclosed settlement. The company filed against the use of it's technology in the Xbox and Halo games.

The trial in Marshall, Texas, centers on technology for ways to control interactive applications over multiple computers. MPath was "a pioneer in the online video industry in the area of real-time, multiplayer online games," PalTalk lawyer Max Tribble told the jury.

PalTalk were claiming $90 million but are reported to be happy with the amount they agreed.

They paid MPath Interactive Inc. $200,000 for the patents - so anything above that amount and $90 million is a possible guide to their settlement.

"Microsoft had many meetings with MPath regarding their technology, and Microsoft found the technology to be very valuable," he said.

Microsoft said it did review the MPath inventions and chose a different path in developing its games. The technology is for an older dial-up method of communicating between computers, and "the patents don't cover the way the 'Halo' games work," Pritikin said.

"Microsoft decided to go in another direction and work with another company," he told the jury. "Obviously, this was upsetting to PalTalk and its employees."

Microsoft also is challenging the validity of the PalTalk patents and told the jury that, even if it agrees with PalTalk, "the patents aren't worth much, certainly not $90 million."

The entertainment and devices division, which includes the Xbox games and console, generated $5 billion in sales in the six months ended Dec. 31, the company said Jan. 22 in its quarterly report. The "Halo" games are the company's best-selling Xbox game franchise. Overall, Microsoft reported $31.7 billion in sales in that period.

Exclusive Stromrise video game screenshots trailers

Stormrise is a post apocalyptic real-time strategy game from Creative Assembly, the makers of Medieval II: Total War.

Two warring factions arise from the rubble: the Echelon, a technologically advanced race that endured the planet's fallout by way of self-induced hibernation, and the Sai, a tribal society that adapted to the new apocalyptic environment and evolved over time.

Players can command units in the air, across rooftops, on the earths surface and even underground; this unique idea of verticality introduces multiple layers of gameplay that must be mastered for strategic advantage.

The experience is heightened by a simple yet effective control system tailored specifically for consoles, which allows easy unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment.
