After the lukewarm reception to the game version of Quantum of Solace, Activision seems to have a plan to tug at the nostalgic heartstrings of gamers with their next James Bond game.

I honestly thought we had seen or at least were informed of all the big additions in Modern Warfare 2. Aside from further revealing the perks, weapons, and the single-player levels it seemed like Infinity Ward and Activsion had shown us most of the goodness that’s in store for us. Well, that could be farther from the truth based on yet another bootleg video that has surfaced today.

I usually don’t like to look into what industry analysts have to say since most of the time they’re talking out of their ass. But I couldn’t help but slightly interested in what analyst Doug Creutz had to say about the sales of Activision’s DJ Hero. 

According to Creutz demand for the game is “well below” expectations based on a survey taken with online retailers.  Creutz goes on to say that the game could only sell 600,000 units in Q4 which is a nice amount but is a far from previous estimates that had the game at 1.6m units.

Xbox Live has been touting their partnership with Netflix for sometime now. When Sony won the format wars with the inclusion of Blu Ray, Microsoft made the leap to be the first into the digital market. Since then the serve has done rather well on Xbox Live, and now it would seem as though Sony would like a slice of the pie. 

Earlier the VP of Corporate Communications for Sony posted on the PlayStation blog that a deal has been finalized with Netflix to be able to offer streaming movies/tv over the PlayStation Network for a cost of $8.99 per month. 

For those of you who are interested to snatch up every little tidbit of information about the upcoming Assassin's Creed sequel (as I am) the achievement/trophy list appears to have been leaked. Below is a list of achievements that you'll be striving for when the title launches next month on the 17th. 

So let the trophy strategizing begin!

As of late Electronic Arts has been on a pretty good path.  This generation they’ve managed to change their reputation from being the “evil empire” that gamers across the globe hate and are now a company known for producing quality games such as Dead Space.

We all know that No More Heroes 2 is going to be a crazy game with tons of weird stuff in it, which is why we all love it, but when we see a girl weilding giant anime arms who makes a strange squeal when hit I think the game has reached an all new level of strangeness. 

I don't think we should worry about this but today Viacom has just bought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle franchise from Mirage and 4Kids Entertainment.  In particular the Nickelodeon branch of Viacom is the new home for the Turtles.

Along with the already known about live-action reboot there's also plans for a CG cartoon to coincide with the release of the film in 2012. 

Siliconera has found yet another Sony controller patent. This latest patent doesn’t seem to feature the motion tech since it doesn’t have the trademark sphere and it almost looks like it could be a new iteration for the Buzz controller.

But it could be possible that this new controller could be used with one motion controller for games that require more buttons.  Though if that’s the case Sony really needs to add an analog stick and some shoulder buttons to the thing.

It’s common for a game to perhaps borrow an idea or major feature from a popular game such as games borrowing the cover mechanics from Gears of War which itself was taken from the game kill.Switch.  However, we sometimes see a game that so unabashedly copies a particular game or a series of games that you can’t help but shake your head in disgust.  The latest game that will surely evoke tons of groans from gamers is Namco Bandai’s Inversion.
