Well this is no surprise but I was wondering how Microsoft were going to handle this demo what with Australia’s archaic ratings board. Well the demo is now available to the rest of the Xbox Live supported regions but unfortunately if you try and add it to your queue from the online Marketplace you end up with an awesome message …

We posted yesterday that party and private chatting will be disabled when playing Modern Warfare 2 online. It seems that there will be the ability to chat but not in all playlists. We now have a list of the playlists that will and will not include the ability to have private chats and parties and to be honest it doesn’t …

If you, like me are a big fan of the Battlefield series then you will probably want to keep your eye on this one. Gamestop recently let slip information that there was a Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta coming soon, which sparked rumours all over the internet.

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s Japanese overseer has been looking a little sullen lately. Probably has something to do with Nintendo’s first profit decline in six years. Not only are Wii sales flagging worldwide – although most notably in Japan, but PS3 sales are up. Way up! So much so that Iwata’s had to concede the fact that they’re now competing directly …
