No CoD 3 for PC
First there was Medal of Honor from EA. Then the team splitted and then they created a complete new game called Call of Duty. CoD or Call of Duty was a huge success due to intense enviroment with some of the best sound effects that you could ever hear !. Game play, level you name it and CoD had the best of it. Then they release CoD on Consoles. Now, a new mission pack or extension for Call of Duty for PC was released Call of Duty : United Offensive. Then CoD2 for PC and XBox 360. Now this report says that there may not be any CoD3 for PC, but only for PS3, XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii !. WTF ??, a game which became populat only because of the PC version and it never exisited on the Consoles is now going only Consoles. I can not believe this thing. Total crap !!. We PC Gamer are stabbed right at our back by the Developers/Publishers. This is #$%@#@. Black day for PC Gamers.

I have been always intrested in gaming consoles such as PlayStation, XBox and Nintendo’s. The internal details are the most imporant that I enjoy reading. And to add further to my joy, i came across this great article on ReedElectronics. Quote :

Each chip supplier moved forward, based on a “statement of work, ” but Gibson kept his options open, and it would be months before the team finalized a contract. Both IBM and ATI could pull blocks of IP from their existing products and reuse them in the Microsoft chips. Engineering teams from both companies began working on joint projects such as the data pathway that connected the chips. ATI had to make contingency plans, in case Microsoft chose Intel over IBM, and IBM also had to consider the possibility that Microsoft might choose Nvidia.
Intresting read.
Unlucky XBox360 user
You have heard that Lighting doest strike the same place twice, but for this poor man, it had struck 4 times!. This poor guy had 360, which was replaced by another 360, then another 360 and then another 360. 4 times he had problems with XBox.
