Microsoft whines, sues Sony… now that’s just sad
Don’t ask why we were surfing the 360 forums. It’s a long, painful story. Even more painful is the sorry reason that Microsoft has decided to hop onto the legal train and sue Sony (besides the fear instilled upon Microsoft by the PS3… or so we’d like to believe).

Call of Duty 3 to have Online Multiplayer, fo' sho'
Can’t wait to get your hands on another version of the gritty, grim, grimy, greasy (?) battles of World War II?
