Features: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 video comparison -- PS3 vs. Xbox 360
Earlier in the month, German gaming website Cynamite released a bunch of screen shots comparing the PS3 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to the Xbox 360 version. The screen shots pretty much looked identical to each other.

Features: The video game shame file
Once upon a time, playing videogames was as socially acceptable as owning a 12-sided dice. It was something that nerds did in-between Star Trek marathons and zit-popping – at least, that was the popular perception in the playgrounds of the time. To talk incessantly about videogames was to invite wedgie annihilation from all directions. Needless to say, it was a dangerous time to be a gamer.

Features: Call of Duty now on iPhone
You want more Call of Duty in your life? Activision has just released the first official iPhone game in the franchise in the shape of Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies (iTunes link.) This is the same zombie experience found in the console version of World at War, and it supports up to four players via either a local Wi-Fi connection, or full online play (Wi-Fi only, no 3G or EDGE support.) Like many recent first person games on the iPhone, Zombies supports a variety of different control schemes including both "virtual" on-screen analog sticks, and a tilt-based scheme.

Features: Modern Warfare 2's misunderstood terrorist level
Has there ever been video or photo coverage of terrorist violence that hasn't seemed somehow detached from it? All our images of Oklahoma City are post-op shots of a cratered nine-story federal building. Videos of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers are generally from distant vantages. The short clips of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold terrifying fellow high school students with Hi-Point 995 carbines and TECH-DC9 semi-automatic pistols played endlessly by cable news channels are from blurred, black and white security cameras, and Harris and Klebold aren't in most of them.

Features: Modded Xbox 360s jailbroken with 'un-ban' hack?

Features: ZOMG, that's racist!
Pretty much everything is accused of being racist these days. From Creole chocolate cookies to old reruns of Speedy Gonzalez -- the cry of "ZOMG, That’s Racist!" is never far away. Even our humble video game consoles have come under increasing rates of fire. Most gamers vehemently deny the charges of cultural intolerance directed at their video games -- after all, it's just social watchdogs making a fuss about nothing... Right?

Features: Should we reject Modern Warfare 2 because it's violent?
Marybeth Hicks calls Modern Warfare 2 "barbaric and harmful to the psyche of anyone" who plays it. She wants you to 'reject violent video games' and she's trained her sights on Activision's popular military shooter. The news yesterday was confusing, she argues, because it balanced the memorial service held for the 13 Americans who recently lost their lives in a tragic military-base shooting, against the release of a critically acclaimed military wargame expected to generate record entertainment industry revenue.

Features: Watch old videogame cartoons online for free
New video portal Jaroo.com brings together a lot of cartoons from our youth, like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors or Ulysses in the 31st Century, and lets you watch them for free in your browser. If you sort through the list of shows currently carried by the service, you'll stumble upon a few videogame themed "classics" that you may want to go back and check out again. Looking for old episodes of The Legend of Zelda? Do you remember the Super Mario Bros show fondly? Just be prepared to have some of your nostalgic memories shattered a little... they're not really as good as we remember them being.
