Modern Warfare Grows Up
by CS Griffy
June 29, 2009

When I was a young boy growing up in Virginia I was affectionately referred to and known as “Timmy”. On my thirteenth birthday my Mother decided that as a teenager and now a young man I should be referred to as Tim. On the day of my Birthday I walked into our kitchen to see the Birthday banner that read “Happy Birthday Tim” and my first comment was “Who is this Tim character and why are we celebrating his birthday?”  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has officially grown up and aims to strike out on it’s own by dropping the “Call of Duty” prefix and walking on it’s own as “Modern Warfare 2”.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron Storms Handhelds This Fall

While LucasArts are still tight-lipped about what’s going on with Battlefront III (if anything), the company has given us plenty of information on the newest handheld incarnation of the series, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Coming to the PSP and Nintendo DS this fall, Elite Squadron will purportedly put even the old console titles to shame, by featuring multi-level battlefronts, deep character customization, and hundreds of unlockable items and bonuses to aid the player during battles (at least in the PSP version – the DS will feature “pre-determined weapon armaments,” which sounds a whole lot like the basic character classes of previous games).

Following in the storied tradition of all the great debates of our times: The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, Pepsi vs. Coke, Tastes Great vs. Less Filling - CS is proud to present a new feature called "The Great Debate". Each month a new topic will be presented for discussion via the forums and a Smuggler will be picked to represent each side of the argument. Each participant will be given an opportunity to provide their opening statements to frame their argument and present their opinion. Each participant will also be allowed one rebuttal to their opponents remarks. After that we will poll the public to see who has won that month's GREAT DEBATE!

This Month's Debate Topic: Complete Game Release (Xanatos) vs. Downloadable Content (Griffy)
