Call of Duty 3 Launch Trailer in High Definition

Built from the ground-up for next-gen consoles, Call of Duty 3 delivers the intensity of being closer than ever to the fury of combat during the Normandy Breakout, the historic campaign that made the liberation of Paris possible and brought the Allies a step closer to Berlin.
Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers—American, British, Canadian and Polish—and are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat, with advanced high-definition graphics, detailed character animations and explosive on-screen action, delivering the most immersive and cinematically intense war experience ever.

Okay, NOW We’re Excited

We spent most of yesterday evening playing PlayStation 3 games ranging from the genuinely superb to the humdrum-but-still-impressive. It’s fair to say that, despite our extensive coverage of Sony’s bumbling difficulties these last few months, we’re finally prepared to run around the room, arms waving, squealing in delight. Read our impressions… They cut the games off for rapper Ludacris at the tail end of Sony’s big PlayStation 3 press event. The crowd, by then maybe some 250 or so strong, filtered down from the second and third floors of the San Francisco studios Sony had chosen to host the venue, for equal parts free food, alcoholic libations, and hip-hop. And although the music was suitably rocking, everyone wanted the games turned back on.

Sony and its third-party allies showed off some 20 or so titles at yesterday’s event, offering playable versions of the sublime (Resistance: Fall of Man) to the gorgeous but ultimately plebian (Marvel Ultimate Alliance). And Next-Gen was there to separate wheat from chaff.

SIXAXIS batteries not swappable, but Sony will replace controllers for free

After having printed so many negative stories about Sony lately -- concerning its battery debacle, Blu-ray delays, and factually-questionable marketing, to name a few -- we're overjoyed to report on a company policy that will be sure to please gamers planning to pick up a PS3. Yesterday it was revealed that the wireless (and rumble-less) SIXAXIS controllers would not sport user-replaceable batteries, and given the fact that lithium ion cells only have a finite number of charges in them, it seemed that users would have to shell out $50 every time one of their gamepads crapped out.
