Robert Bowling has confirmed to IGN that there are no plans to bring the insanely popular Nazi Zombies mode from Call of Duty: World at War over to Modern Warfare 2.
“There will be no Nazis or zombies in any piece of Modern Warfare 2 downloadable content,” said Bowling, however with the next Call of Duty coming this year from Treyarch, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it rear its head in the new game.
After having been revealed to be working on a brand new shooter Stuart Black, creator of Criterion’s Black, has labelled many modern shooters as “f***ing boring.”
His blunt assessment came when speaking to OXM about the state of many shooters now, with Black being peeved at the fact that many follow a repetitive structure of “when a guy hunkers down behind something, you’ve just got to sit there and wait for him to pop his head up. Pops up, couple of bullets to his head, pops back down again.. and I’m waiting for him to pop back up again?”

No More Heroes, originally seen on the Nintendo Wii, has been given a launch date of April 15th in Japan.
The game is essentially an HD port of the Wii original (hence the slight change of title) but has an extra game mode “where the ladies aren’t wearing too many clothes.” I don’t think we need any further description added to that.
No date for Europe has been announced as yet but we’ll keep you posted if anything crops up.

Sony have submitted two new SKU’s to the FCC, CECH-2101A and CECH-2101B, for approval.
What has been changed in the consoles isn’t clear, with components like Bluetooth and the 802.11 wireless remaining as they are in the current consoles.
PS3News is speculating that it could well just be that the wireless components have a new manufacturer and this is the reason for being submitted again to the FCC, which seems like a logical assumption from us.

The DLC will be landing in March and will cost 400 Microsoft Points for 360/PC and £3.19 on PSN. The Sinclair Solutions Test Pack features mainly multiplayer add-ons, it increases the level cap up to 50, and also adds new characters and trials.

More DLC is expected to arrive over the coming months, some of it adding to the single player as well as the online.

According to an application made by Sony to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the corporation are looking into the possibility of creating a universal controller capable of displaying different game controller layouts which could be used with various consoles.
The patent as found by GoRumours describes the perihperal as having an “LCD… present[ing], depending on what type of game console a user has selected, a controller key layout for a first type of game console or a controller key layout for a second type of game console.”
Moreover, the patent also describes the controller as being able to “emulate the key layout of an older controller that may no longer be available, so that an owner of an older game console can still use the console,” so theoretically if the rumours of SEGA wanting to bring old titles, say from the Dreamcast to the PlayStation Store, the transition would be near painless with the adaptable controller.
