Call of Duty - World at war on Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS

I was quite surprised to see Call of Duty - World at War on the Nintendo Wii.

The game is running on a modified engine of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which never made it out to the Nintendo Wii, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Treyarch did a great job getting this running on the Nintendo Wii.

Everything from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 single player made it over on the Nintendo Wii. Yeah, the graphics were toned down a little, but it still looked great. I had a chance to try out the Single Player mode and the Squadmate mode with Nick. What’s Squadmate?



It’s co-op on the same screen.

Anytime when playing the single player campaign, your friend can jump in with a second controller and his cross-hair will appear on the screen.

So while the first player is controlling the movements and his own gun, the second player can shoot, with his own guns and ammo supply, helping out the first player through the waves of upcoming enemies.

Guitar Hero - Metallica Lars Ulrich on MTV news

We know that Activision is contemplating more band-themed Guitar Hero games, but they are mum as to which bands they are working with. With the recent deal to make the next Metallica album available on Guitar Hero III the same day it is released to the public for purchase, one has to wonder if they are working with the band for their own Guitar Hero title. Lets see what Las Ulrich has to say about the matter.

I think at some point a band can actually get big enough to just not care what they say. Take for instance this recent interview with Metallica rocker Lars Ulirich where he all but says “they’re making Guitar Hero Metallica”.


There’s an Aerosmith game out there that’s super successful, and if somebody’s gonna follow that up…we’re talking, and its exciting, and the people at ‘Guitar Hero’ and Activision are rapidly becoming our best new friends in the world. You can put the rest of it together yourself.

My puzzle-solving skills aren’t what they once were, so I’ve contacted my crack team of specialists, and we’ve translated the text to mean that either Lars just confirmed a Gutiar Hero: Metallica title, or that the band is planning on buying the Guitar Hero franchise and will rule the gaming world with an iron fist. I’m not sure, but I think I’m leaning toward the latter.
