OFF THE RECORD
This week, we report back from Activision’s COD XP in Los Angeles, EA’s Need For Speed spokesmodel contest and Sony’s Resistance 3 launch event. Plus, the latest Tag-Team Interview and this week’s top tweeters
THE CALL OF WAR If ever someone made a Call of Dutytheme park, it would be a lot like CoD XP. The Los Angeles event had a Scrapyard paintball field, CoD-themed sumo wrestling, off-road Jeep rides (complete with terrorist ambush), the chance to be an MW3cover star and a recreation of MW2’s Burger Town restaurant (minus the assault from Russian forces).
THE NEWS IN 140 CHARACTERS We read Twitter so you don’t have to
GasheadAu One day I’ll get a Tweet into MCV, one day.

EdBartlett @GasheadAu the only reason I'm sad I left the industry was that I'll never get a tweet into MCV.

millsustwo When you live in an industry where The Crystal Maze hits the No.1 paid chart it’s time to lose hope.

Svend_SPOnG I can imagine Team Bondi as an empty office with McNamara just sitting there on his own, whipping himself into an overworked frenzy.

jenjeahaly Interesting chat with local Gamestation manager earlier. Amazed to learn they’ve had 1300 MW3pre-orders so far. Llanelli is a tiny town for it!
