It looks like PC gamers who are anxiously waiting for Infinity Ward’s next highly-anticipated game may be denied of a chance to own the “Prestige Edition ” for Modern Warfare 2. Some retailers like Amazon.com, Best Buy and Gamestop have already started accepting pre-orders and most of the gamers who were expecting the so-called “Expensive Edition” for the PC ran out of luck,  as they were only treated to the regular game and the “Hardened Edition” (with behind-the-scenes info, an art book and a code to download the first Call of Duty. There was no such PC listing for the $149.99 Prestige Edition.

Granted that the prestige edition comes with a fully working Night Vision Goggles, it’s a shame that this version could not be available for the PC.This led to numerous requests and questions asking for confirmations straight from the developers themselves as gamers posted questions on the Infinity Ward forums.

Activision and Infinity Ward has yet to confirm if the Prestige Edition would be released to the PC.

Nude Cammy

One of the most favorite female characters (by the male populace) in the Street Fighter franchise is unquestionably Cammy (for obvious reasons). Ever since Street Fighter IV came out of the PC, fans have been tinkering w/ the game in one way or another. Of course, Cammy in the nude wasn’t far off from happening. Here’s a video of Ryu vs. Cammy Naked.

Command & Conquer 4: Be Always Online to Play

First, the big blue Blizzard announced that Starcraft 2 will have no LAN support whatsoever.

Though the announcement also came with the assurance that it’s really not a big burden, as the game doesn’t require a broadband connection (you can connect via dial-up), it still raises a lot of eyebrows (mine included). I’ve got a DSL connection at home and have no problems w/ this kind of setup, it’s just that these kinds of requirements to play games are slowly starting to become commonplace. Move over DRM.
