Third person view in MW2, Champions Online Blood Moon goes live plus free weekend, Starcraft II interview, Bioshock 2 single player trailer.

Third person view in Modern Warfare 2

We all heard the rumors going around a few months ago about a ‘big reveal’ in MW2. Lately we thought the IWNet fiasco was the reason… sadly no, something even worse. Third person shooting in a first person shooter. I don’t know what they were thinking. I mean, sure, if it’s single player only, or on special multiplayer servers max, separated from the rest of the crowd, but for the love of God, WHY? I see no reason whatsover. They so could have spent that time doing something else.. like dedicated server. >.> Ok i give up… i’m just beat.

Champions Online launches it’s newest expansion tommorow

Also, if you wanted to check it out, they’ll have a free weekend up for anyone interested.  Oddly, during that same weekend, they’ll also have the Haloween events. So first-time players will no doubt be met with themed cities and zombie NPCs.. totally staining an experience that should show you what you’re buying.  Returning to the subject, also free retcons for everyone to work out the new changes. You guys have fun ya’hear.

Starcraft II interview

They talk design decisions, units, and some game structures. Worth a read even you aren’t waiting for Starcraft 2 since it also touches on some stuff about WoW and the old Westwood company.

Bioshock 2 singleplayer trailer

It shows a nice deal of gameplay and i can’t stop getting a vibe that it might be just a tad too much. It’s hardly atmosphere-creating when you’re an unstoppable juggernaut with a minigun. Still, while Bioshock 1 did not impress me too much, i’ll be sure to pick up the sequel.
