We have way too many videogames to play, but we took an hour-long break to talk about all of them on this episode of the Game|Life podcast.
Actually, today’s podcast was mostly inspired by our very first iTunes review:
I thought this was pretty fair and even-handed but for some reason, Wired editors Chris Baker, Peter Rubin …
A photo sent by an anonymous source reveals extras included in the latest Call of Duty game’s deluxe edition.
All of the gear will be available in October along with “bonus content,” which gives you time to set aside extra funds for the game’s November 8th release. You’ll find photo-based intel below and more details in the PR past the break. At ease, soldier.

The exposure of video games has changed hugely in the last 35 years, and one perfect example is the anticipation for the upcoming game Modern Warfare 3. From simple beginnings in the early 1980′s with the release of the Atari system, to the rise of Nintendo consoles, and to the newer day stars like Sony Playstation and Microsoft Xbox, gamers have slowly taken over our culture. The video game market is a multibillion dollar money maker for many different developers, and a series of game franchises have been spawned and seen their popularity rise all around the world. Now that we are able to play high quality games on our mobile devices, the market seems aligned to jump off at a rapid pace.
The last 5 years have been especially good for developers. The Call of Duty video game series is a shining example of what can go right when all the proper techniques are employed. There have been 7 different titles delivered from the makers of Call of Duty, and the current title had over $1 billion in sales in the first week alone. This is perfect news for the company, as they are getting ready to release the newest addition to the series, Modern Warfare 3, later this year. It is rumored to be released just before the start of holiday shopping season, and could mean a very profitable sales figure for the company. Now that titans like Playstation and Xbox make it possible to play video games online with gamers around the world in real time, it can be expected that these games will only grow in popularity.
Another critical factor in the growth of the video game industry is the quality of work the studios produce. One look at the previous Call of Duty titles will tell you that Modern Warfare 3 is sure to be one of the most technically amazing games ever produced. The video game marketplace will continue to support this trend as long as the market supports it. Many people are always willing to pay over $60 just to play a game, which is why they can sell so many games in the first week.
As tech advances, we can expect that the industry will continue to be a force in pushing the envelope. It should also be important to watch what happens with the mobile game industry, as that market is massive and still relatively untapped.
