Hey All,
I had the chance to go to Call of Duty XP earlier this month and decided to film the trip. Below is the video I edited from Day 1. If you watch it please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hey All. So here's another late entry in my blog series that I am doing. Still trying to catch up but school won't let me and it sucks. I feel really guilty for having these up so late so let's hope that sometime in the near future i can get these done on time. But enough of my problems, let's get to the news. I think what i will do this week is focus on one company that made several major headlines during this week. Some of you may know where I am going with this.

Hey all. It's another edition of This Week in Gaming! Did everyone have a good week? Good to hear! Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get newsin. The biggest news of this week? I'll give you 3 guesses.
...

You Lose! The answer was...
Sony announced PlayStation Suite! Oh, Andriod-based PlayStation gaming not good enough for you? You don't like being able to play PlayStation 1 games on your Andriod phone? Alright, the real announcement at Sony's Event in Tokyo was the official reveal of their next portable handheld gaming device, Next Generation Portable, or NGP , or PSP2 as the cool people call it. I'm not cool so I'll call it NGP. It is a bit bigger than the PSP-1000, two analog sticks not nubs, 5 inch OLED front touch screen and rear touch panel, new OS called LiveArea, front and rear cameras, Six-Axis motion sensing similar to the PS3 controller, GPS, Wi-FI and 3G, and games come on a flash memory based card. The games shown at the event, like: WipEout, Resistance, and Uncharted, look amazing. Let's hope we see some more amazing stuff, including a release date and price (I say around $300-$400) in the near future. You can watch the whole press conference, in six parts, on SCEA's official YouTube channel, starting right here. The NGP looks like an interesting piece of hardware. With so much technology crammed into it, it is said to look as good as PS3 games. I take this as, for example, Uncharted looks as good on a PSP as it would on a PS3, not really the same on both consoles, but good on their own individual consoles. Wither way I'm excited to see what Sony has to bring to the table with this new hardware.
Hey all,
I know some of you are wondering where this weeks edition was. Well i got lazy again and I'm still trying to find my rhythm doing this blog. I know what I have to do, just need to put it into action. So this past weeks Blog will be posted this upcoming Sunday, along with this weeks Blog. So that's TWO (2) blogs on one day. That day happens to be Super Sunday, the day of the Super Bowl. If I'm not busy, I will write BOTH of the blogs this week and post them on Sunday. So sorry for the wait.
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. Because i felt SOO bad for not having a Blog this past week, here is a sweet ass video. I'll let it speak for itself.

Hey all and Welcome to my new Blog Series, This Week in Gaming News. Generic name, I know, but it’s straight forward. The formal introductions were made in my previous post so I won't get into that so lets get our news on. Lets start with what was probably the biggest news this week.
Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo released information about it's new handheld, the Nintendo 3DS, this week in New York. It will release on March 27, 2011 for $249.99 in the US. Many games were announced including: a list of games from Ubisoft, The Sims 3, Madden NFL, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, and many others. The 3DS sounds like a really cool device from what every gaming news site is saying, and games look very interesting and from the video released on Wednesday, it looks like a really cool device but I personally have to get my hands on it to make a good impression on me. I saw it behind a glass case at E3 and did not want to wait in a LONG line to see it.
Black Ops First Strike DLC
Call of Duty: Black Ops will receive it's first piece of DLC next month. Set to release on February 1, 2011, First Strike DLC will contain four new maps and a new zombie mode map. The maps will release on the Xbox 360 first for 1200 Microsoft Points and there has been no word yet on a PS3 and PC release. Treyarch released a video on YouTube detailing the new multiplayer maps. I am looking forward to playing on these maps. They all add some new tactic to the way people play on these maps, with the zipline on Kowloon and the "No Man's Land" in Berlin Wall.
After a domain name was registered last week, Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XIII-2. It will follow the character Lightning and will be joined by a brand new character. This is not a first in the series as Final Fantasy X got a sequel in Final Fantasy X-2. The game will release this year in Japan on the Xbox 360 and PS3. No word on the US release but expect sometime next year. I cannot give first-hand impressions of FFXIII because i have not played it, but from the many podcasts I listen to, the same problem came up, the game was too linear for too long. Hopefully, the next game can fix those problems.
Portal 2 PS3 News
Valve announced some Portal 2 news this week. Back at E3, Gabe Newell came out on the stage at the Sony Press Conference and said that the PS3 version of Portal 2 will be "the best version on consoles". The news that came out this week seems to prove that point. The PS3 versions of Portal 2 will have cloud-based storage of game saves, cross-platform chat, cross-platform play between the PC/Mac and PS3, and a free copy of the game for PC/Mac by linking your PSN ID and Steam account. This news is awesome for anyone picking up the game for the PS3, such as myself. This furthers my excitement for this game. April 21 cannot come sooner enough.
According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, Infinity Ward is gathering help from Activision sister studios, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, with their next game. With the release of Jason West and Vince Zampella this past year, along with numerous others, that IW needs help creating their next game, weather its MW3 or another project. Sledgehammer, who was working on a spin-off of the Call of Duty franchise, will help IW with the single-player, while Raven handles the multi-player. Since the release of West and Zampella, I've always had a sick feeling in my stomach about the future of Infinity Ward. It seems the studio has been in the pits lately and I have told myself over and over again that there would be no MW3. Now with this news, seeing that MW3 could be an actuality, I now believe that it won't be good. I'm sure it'll still do big numbers, as all CoD games do, but I don't think it'll be a good game. An ignorant opinion I know, but it's my gut feeling.
There was a ton of other news this week that does not need much explanation. Thus a Quick Fire Segment of the blog.
Hello everyone who can read this. I don't know if anyone else does this sort of thing but I thought it was an interesting idea that I've had in my head for a while and what better place to start to put it into action then on Giant Bomb Dot Com.
So basically this blog series will be what the title insists, and that is bringing video game news of the week to one place. I follow all the major gaming sites on Twitter (IGN, GameSpot, The Feed by G4, Game Informer, and of course Giant Bomb) and all their tweets get sent to my phone, so I am never out of the loop and I want to bring this to the people. I will give very short opinions on the topic. The space will also be filled with non-gaming news from time to time from sites like Mashable and others I can find.
The blog will also show the new game releases for the past week. Short impressions of the game will be written, weather I have played it or not. That's the basic idea behind the blog.
They will be posted every Sunday. I will try to write these as they develop over the week. Hopefully I can keep this up for a while, with school starting and what-not. If anyone has any feedback at all, please do not hesitate to tell me. The first episode for the week of 1/16-1/22 is almost done being written, late I know but it was half way done and I want to finish it. Expect it to show up by Afternoon Today PST. Thanks for reading and be on the look out for This Week in Gaming #1.
