VIDEO GAMES: Vita gettin some love.

As you may have read about a week ago, I've played the Vita for a short time in Gamestop and I believe it will go down in history as the system with the most potential, and weakest life cycle ever. The price is too high, the awareness too low and the timing couldn't be worse. In a world where almost everybody but the most hard core gamers rely on their smart phones for mobile gaming, there's barely room for the 3DS to exist in the mobile market, let alone the Vita. However, a key to the Vita's success will be third party support...a lot of it. Today Guy Longworth, the Senior Vice President of Playstation brand marketing, confirmed that the next iteration of the Call of Duty series will be coming to Vita. We still don't know what the CoD game will be (although I bet you 1 billion dollars it's Black Ops 2) but its nice to have confirmation that it will exist on the Vita. After spending time with the system, I have a feeling this could be a potential blockbuster for the handheld as the graphics are gorgeous and the dual analogs allow for a first-person shooter to work extremely well. No word yet on how it may interact cross-platform with the PS3 but I'm sure users would love to be able to create one profile that works on both systems. As fun as it would be to level up to 80 on two separate systems...

VIDEO GAMES: New trailer for MW3 campaign.

Well the Battlefield 3 beta seems to be mixing peoples' opinions over whether or not the game will actually mark the beginning of the end for Call of Duty. To be honest after getting over how beautiful the game looked I couldn't help but feel like EA's strategy for taking out Call of Duty was to make Call of Duty. Obviously one level in beta form is not nearly enough to judge BF3 but I guess it just didn't sway me one way or the other. Plus, there are still a TON of bugs with the BF3 beta and the game is less than a month away. I mean the Gears 3 beta came out months before the game was released and there was almost nothing wrong with it. Anyways, call me what you want but I love the Modern Warfare games. Yes, even MW2. I've been excited for the conclusion for a while now and I know I'll dump hours and hours into the multiplayer. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Today Activision released a new trailer for the MW3 campaign and personally I think it looks sick. Very excited for November 8th.
