The Gamer Access

This is part one of a series about games being distributed digitally. I will focus primarily on the Xbox 360 and the PS3. It is evident that digital distribution has changed some aspects of console gaming, and it has been in a positive way. Many games that have been released this generation would not have seen the light of day on home consoles if it were not for online digital distribution from the Wii, 360, and PS3.

Hey world, this is Shamarri from TheGamerAccess.com. I finally did a Gamer's Crib for our friends at thebitbag.com. But we are also posting the video on our site for our fans. Hope you enjoy the "Behind the Scene" look at an Editor from TheGamerAccess.com. I had fun making this video so enjoy.

Between cheerleaders and sportsmanship, who says EA Sports’ games are the same every year? With a new graphics engine and a series of revamped game modes, the only thing that seems to be missing from this year’s edition is the tailgate after party. Is NCAA 10 a college dropout or ready for the pros?

It appears to be a good news, bad news deal. The good news is that Forza 3 has a launch date and collector's edition that might actually offer us something worth collecting.

The bad news is that the edition appears to be exclusive to GameStop, a company I compare to Vader's Death Star. I will give you more details if you agree to read more. The game is due to release Oct. 27.

Updated: The listed price is $79.99.

I have been a part of the PSN community since shortly after the PS3 launched. I got my PS3 in early December as an early Christmas gift to myself. I have never owned a 360, but I have played the 360 many times. I constantly hear people talking about features that Live has that the PSN does not. Sure, some of those features (Facebook and Twitter, WTF!?) are not essential to gaming, but they are features nonetheless. Although, personally I may feel as if I do not need these features the community has spoken and many gamers want five primary features added to the PSN that are already available on Microsoft's Live service. Those features include demos for every PSN game, in-game voice chat, a unified party system, in-game music for all games and the ability to leave voicemails. The first four are more game related while the last one is just an extra option that would be more of a luxury than a necessity.

This is a freshly released multiplayer video from Modern Warfare 2. I have to be honest here. This looks pretty sick.

Notice a few things in it?

• Shields
• Capture the flag
• UAV at three kill streaks, "air drops" at four streak, and predator missile at five
• The screen gets caked in debris
• The rank and class of the person you kill comes up
• The player is using three different weapons in one load out (nope - see comments)
• A very cool looking desert area
• The last kill in the video, at the very end, is the coolest kill yet.
