Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Video Review from GiantBomb.com

Modern Warfare 2 was released at midnight, and below is the video review from the great gaming website GiantBomb.com. The review is done by Jeff Gerstmann. Check it out, and let us know what YOU think of the game in the comments.

It of course looks fantastic, and the multiplayer once again appears to be in top form. I won’t be getting the game until early next year though, when I’ll be picking it up for the PS3. Between this, MAG and Bad Company 2, the first couple of months of my having a PS3 will be nothing but FPS online (maybe some single player MW2). Awesome. If you have the game, preferably thePS3 version, what do you think of the online aspect?

Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles – X-Division Championship Match Unbreakable 2005

This Sunday night, November 15th, TNA Wrestling presents Turning Point. Screw Hulk Hogan, the main event of this event is a rematch of epic proportions. Four years ago, TNA’s X-Division took center stage on the Unbreakable pay-per-view when Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels put on a classic in the main-event. To this today, it remains arguably the greatest match in the history of TNA.

Sunday night, we’ll once again be treated to a triple threat between Joe, Daniels and AJ… and this time it is for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. I, for one, am absolutely stoked for this match coming up in less than a week. It has huge, HUGE expectations from myself and many others, but there’s no doubt that the three men involved are more than capable of going above and beyond and surpassing their previous classic. In preparation for the awesomeness to come this Sunday night, below is the full triple match from Unbreakable 2005. Enjoy the classic.

RAW Rundown: Monday Night RAW 11/09/09 Results & Thoughts

Results:
* Alicia Fox def. Kelly Kelly
* Sheamus def. A local competitor
* Evan Bourne def. Jack Swagger
* Randy Orton def. Mark Henry
* Ricky Hatton def. Chavo Guerrero in a “Boxer vs. Wrestler” Match
* Triple H & Shawn Michaels def. Chris Jericho & Big Show

Thoughts:
Man, this show just gets worse by the week. I’m not a boxing fan, nor British, so I have no clue who Ricky Hatton is, but he was about as boring of a guest host as one could possibly be. No fault of his though, it’s not his element. The problem here can only be blamed on WWE, for continuing the embarrassment that is the celebrity guest host bullshit. No one cares about these half-ass celebrities, they don’t increase the ratings so it completely nullifies any “exposure” you get from some media outlet. It’s time to end this epic failure, name a real general manager, and pull this show out of the toilet. Shitty celebrities and embarrassing segments  involving them quit being mildly entertaining with Donald Trump.

WWE announces three traditional Survivor Series elimination tag matches for Survivor Series 2009

WWE has announced via their website three new matches for the Survivor Series pay-per-view coming our way November 22nd. The three announced matches are all traditional Survivor Series elimination tag matches. They are:

- Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, MVP, Christian, and R-Truth vs. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, William Regal, and C.M. Punk in an elimination tag match

- John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Hardy, and Finlay vs. The Miz, Sheamus, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre in an elimination tag match

- Mickie James, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, Melina, and Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, and Layla in an elimination tag match.

These matches join the already announced matches of:

- Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat for the World Hvt. Championship

- John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H in a Triple Threat for the WWE Championship

- Batista vs. Rey Mysterio

I like all of the announced Survivor Series matches, and by that I mean the three newly announced matches. Team Kingston vs. Team Orton and Team Morrison against Team Miz should both be wonderful. Good additions to the card here by WWE.

Gabe Sapolsky, Davey Richards, and Sal Hamaoui set to launch EVOLVE Wrestling

Gabe Sapolsky’s MySpace blog:

After several months of preparation EVOLVE is here. What is EVOLVE? We urge you to keep checking www.EVOLVEwrestling.com to watch this new promotion grow, develop and evolve before your eyes. All we’ll say now in this blog is that the partnership of Sal Hamaoui, Davey Richards and myself is behind EVOLVE.

Oh shit!

This is definitely something to keep an eye on, especially since ROH continues a downward slide (it’s still good, just no where near where it use to be at). Nice to see Gabe with his own promotion here along with Davey Richards (great wrestler) and Sal Hamaoui (FIP Wrestling owner). Very interested in seeing what this promotion is going to be all about and who is going to be involved with it.

My guess is that it will involve many of the Dragon Gate USA wrestlers, FIP wrestlers and the usual ROH/PWG crowd. Which is all great mind you. I believe the DGUSA shows happen once every two months, so I reckon EVOLVE will likely run on the months that DGUSA does not. At any rate, the more promotions Gabe Sapolsky is involved with, the better off we wrestling fans are.

Visit EVOLVEwrestling.com, particularly tomorrow as there is currently a countdown on the site with a caption that reads “We Will Evolve Again”. Very exciting stuff for us wrestling fans, especially of the Indy variety.

WWE set to increase pay-per-view prices by $5 next year

The quoted news comes from Jason Powell at ProWrestling.NET.

WWE has eliminated a June pay-per-view from it’s 2010 schedule, according to PWInsider.com. There will now be 13 pay-per-view events rather than the 14 shows the company has been running in recent years.

This is obviously good news. 13 is still too many, but it is nevertheless a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, they take two steps back with this next tidbit…

The company is also raising the price of their pay-per-view events by five dollars to $44.95.

Uh

Have they not seen the recent buyrates? Who in the company could possible hear this suggestion and think it makes enough sense to run with? People aren’t buy their shitty events now, what makes them think we’re going to dish out an extra $5 to watch it. I shudder to even see the WrestleMania price this year, which will no doubt be absurd considering you can get the 3-disc DVD the next month in that nice tin can with the HOF ceremony.

I wrote a column last month detailing a much better way to change the pay-per-view approach. It did call for reduced events, but definitely not increased prices. McMahon is INSANE!

Of course, it was also announced that TNA is raising their prices by $5 as well, which is even more absurd.

Bad Company 2- Africa Harbour MP Gameplay

Check out all new multiplayer gameplay from the upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2 game.

Game looks super sweet there. I never played the first one, but I’ll definitely be scooping this one up for the Playstation 3 when it comes out in February.
