Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision-Blizzard does not like videogames – or the people who play them. What he does like though is the revenue generated by the people who pay for them. Considering how much he personally made from us last year, it’s easy to see why. The head honcho at the world’s largest evil videogaming mega-corporation – responsible for …

The activity for Xbox Live for the week of June 15 have been released and I do honestly still find it amazing that the Call of Duty games are still dominating, with Halo 3 still going strong as well. Gears of War 2 is still hanging in there as well, although one would expect it to be sitting closer to …

Unfortunately it’s bad news for locals once again, the new Call of Duty World at War map packs are being blocked locally once again. If you were wondering why then it is simply because they are for a game that depicts Nazi’s and as such the gentle German minds can’t handle it. Thus their government has layed down the ban …

A few days ago I noticed that an old story about the Call of Duty: World at War map pack was suddenly receiving a huge amount of hits. A lot of the visitors were leaving comments asking when the Map Pack 1 would become available and I just presumed the PSN store was slow in updating as all the visitors …

It’s almost as if Zombies have become de rigueur; They’ve become so popular that they’re entrenched in our gamer culture, even showing up in places they’re not supposed to be – Like Call of Duty : World at War. Nokia have found another place to put zombies where they aren’t supposed to be -  in their delightfully charming (and gross) …

2007 was a fantastic year for gamers, and 2008 was possibly even better – but what is 2009 going to bring…? Luckily for us, Gametrailers has put together a video montage of their most anticipated games for 2009 and in general I think I have to agree with them. To be honest though, I don’t think we are going to …

I literally cannot explain exactly how jealous I am that I cannot enter this competition. Reason being that one of our readers is going to get to take home a limited Call of Duty: World at War Zippo, courtesy of Megarom. Because the prize is so insanely cool, we have decided to make the competition a little interesting. For this competition we have devised an interesting, albeit unlikely scenario involving yourself, a zippo and a really angry Nazi. The full competition question can be found after the jump. Not entering will be considered an absolute crime. Don't miss out on the opportunity.... We have a rather interesting scenario worked out and you need to tell us how you are going to get out of it. The best and most creative answer will be chosen as the winner, so be sure to get those creative juices flowing. Here is the scenario: You are a soldier in World War 2, you are stuck inside a destroyed house that has only one exit. Problem is, you have just run out of ammo and a crazed Nazi is about to bash through the door and introduce you to the business end of his rifle. The only thing that you have left in your possession is your trusty Zippo lighter. How will you utilise your Zippo to survive this fatal predicament ?... Your answers can be smart, funny or even strangely detailed.... Mail your entry to comps@lazygamer.co.za by 5pm on Friday 21st with the subject COD Zippo and you could be the lucky winner of this incredibly cool Zippo.

Earlier this week, Videogamer.com posted up a 720p comparison of Call of Duty 5 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I saw the video and started noticing differences between the two that I felt couldn't be ignored. So what I did is, I took a screengrab of the comparison to show you. Comparison videos always cause a general ruckus between the different console owners and this one is obviously doing the same. Truth be told, the Xbox 360 version looks significantly better and what bothers me the most is that I picked up the differences in the introduction cut-scene, which is a controlled environment that doesn't really have that much complexity to it. So why I ask, does the PS3 version look significantly worse?... You can click the above image to see it in full resolution, although take note that there is a little bit of compression on the image.... When you take a closer look you can clearly see that the texturing on the man's clothing and even the little badge on the bottom right is significantly lower and more "jaggy" or pixelated than the one on the Xbox 360. Not only that but you will also notice that the guy all the way in the background has some missing models on him. Now I have seen Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4 running on a PS3 and the graphics were phenomenal. So why again is the PS3 getting the short end of the stick. Why on earth, in a cutscene so simple, would Treyarch have to resort to lower texture resolutions and less geometry. I can't even see such small changes making a large difference to the framerate anyway. At the end of the day, small differences like this won't completely change a gamers experience but really, this doesn't make any sense because we know that the PS3 should be able to handle graphics like this without any issues. I ask again if it is just down to developer laziness because regardless of which was the lead platform, it can't be that damn difficult to make the graphics look equal in quality on both.
