EA Being Taken to Court Over Broken Battlefield Promise
EA promised PS3 owners a free copy of Battlefield 1943 when they picked up Battlefield 3. When they didnāt come through, they upset a lot of gamers, both for the bait-and-yank and for the shoddy manner with which it was announced.

This week, all the attentionās going the big-boy versions of Modern Warfare 3. But thereās a DS game, too. This version exists only as part of Activisionās strategy to carpet-bomb their games onto every platform possible. The hook to get folks to buy it is that it bridges the story gap between Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. And, yes, itās a T-for-Teen COD game, one that Activision can dangle in front unsuspecting, M-for-Mature phobic parents this holiday season. Was it worth the effort? Weāre gut-checking this oneā¦ defiantly. MoreĀ Ā»

He was your basic-as-bread conspiracy theorist, convinced the Soviets put a humanāwell, a human body, anywayāon the dark side of the moon. āThey couldnāt accept not trying,ā he said, like a lunar landing was a football game.
