X-Life Teaches Harmony to the Middle East

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Portable/Mobile, Role Playing Games

The State Department has invested $415,000 in a cell phone game named X-life. Designed to endear us to the Middle East and Persian Gulf, the game involves four or five hours of play with two modes, student and musician. It attempts to teach English and a bit of U.S. history. Only about 120 have been given away so far. That might be because it only works with Nokia N Series and Sony Ericsson P1i mobile phones or maybe those targeted have better things to do with their time than play games that may appear as propaganda.

Call of Duty 4 Website, Trailer Revealed. Surprise! No WWII!

Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Activision, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Call me strange, but I like videogames because they help me to escape reality, not re-tell the most terrible parts of it. Hence, I’ve never really been one to heed the “Call” of WWII shooters and Desert-Storm style combat ops… still, the trailer for this game is looking quite technically impressive, and I do love me a good FPS from time to time. Plus, I’m glad to see Activision won’t be retelling WWII a fourth time!

Call of Duty 4 will be the first game in the series to deal with modern warfare, and it looks to focus mainly on Middle East conflicts (and there are lots to choose from!) In addition to the trailer above, the website is also open now at CharlieOscarDelta.com. Enjoy, you baby-killing war-fueled violence-freaks you!

No details on platform or release date are available yet, but we’ll keep you updated as the news rolls in!
