Canadian Military orders 500 video games
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Video Games,
A Canadian military unit has made a requisition for 500 video games (mostly on the Xbox 360) to which a headquarters spokeswoman even dubbed as "strange". The garrison notably ordered 93 copies of Gears of War (PC), 82 copies of Modern Warfare 2, along with copies of Grand Theft Auto and Assasin's Creed 2. The shipment is to be delivered "as soon as possible" to the Longue-Pointe Garrison in Montreal. Here's the full list:
- Gears of War (PC)
- Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)
- Guitar Hero 3 (Xbox 360)
- Assassin's Creed 2 (Xbox 360)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)
- Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360)
- Gears of War (Xbox 360)
- Mortal Kombat DC Universe (Xbox 360)
- Rock Band (Xbox 360)
- Tiger Woods 2011 (Xbox 360)
- X-Men Origins (Xbox 360)
- Guitar Hero 3 Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)
- Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)
- Assassin's Creed 2 (PS3)
- Ghost Recon (Xbox 360)
Conclusion? I'd say they were using these games as possible virtual sortie exercises, but Guitar Hero 3? C'mon, now.

Doom Gets a Modern Warfare Makeover
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: First Person Shooters, Mods/Hacks, PC,
Doom was one of the original first person shooters to drive gamers wild, but it hasn’t held up well over the years. Specifically, the weapons became outdated as games like Halo and Modern Warfare changed the face of first person shooters forever. However, thanks to a recent mod, Doom now sports Modern Warfare 2 weapons, sound effects, and even the ability to quickly strike with your trusty combat knife. If you want to relive your Doom days, but can’t give up the guns of MW2, then download this mod.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, First Person Shooters,
The youngins that play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 always seem to amaze me, while also catching me off-guard, with their crazy knife-throwing skills. Seriously, taking people out by throwing sharp eating utensils at them, in a first-person shooter no less! Still, I’ve gotta give props where props are due. Hit the video above for a look at some seriously cool throwing knife kills in Modern Warfare 2.
And we have a Pwnedface COD:MW2 Xbox 360 winner!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements, Features, Video Games,
Over the past month we’ve been running our Pwnedface Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 giveaway, asking you guys to use Shoot It! to send us postcards of your best pwnedface. What’s a pwnedface, you ask? That would be the face you make when you get pwned in a game, or when you are doing the pwning. We got a ton of entries, and finally selected our random winner - that’s his entry above.
We’ve chosen some of the shots that we thought were pretty funny, and put then into our pwnedface photo gallery - we definitely loved seeing all the entries come in, and a lot of laughter was had. A big thank you goes out to the folks at Shoot It! for sponsoring the giveaway. All the postcards you see? They were generated by our readers using the Shoot It! app on their iPhone or BlackBerry devices, right on their phone.
The giveaways aren’t done! Be sure to enter our HP Envy 13 notebook giveaway, which is currently ongoing!

Holiday Gift Guide for the Gamers
Posted by Alex Lifschitz Categories: Accessories, Hardware, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360,
“... Or how I blew your college fund on sparkly trinkets.”
Thanksgiving is now over, and so the spirit of crass materialism rides in on a chilly breeze. The holidays are almost here, meaning that you’re likely going to need to drop some hard earned ducats on the people who make it a point to hound you year-round. That being said, if you’re not a hopeless misanthrope like myself, you might already be thinking about what to buy for others. Or for yourself. I’m not going to make any judgment calls, you selfish bastard. I don’t have time for jolliness. I’m like Dorian Gray, all ash and suffering on the inside.
So here’s a list of some fun things your can buy for the gamer in your life this year. Some of it is older, some of it is more obscure, but nothing is obnoxiously expensive, per se. Have fun, you wacky kids.
Hit the jump for the list. If you have any suggestions of your own, please leave them in the comments. Oh, and if you want more, non-game-related gift ideas, check out our full Holiday Gift Guide!
