Collaborations have produced many successes. Advancing the technologies and uses of networks are opening new doors and paths of communication that make us realize so many ways we can be better.

Though it hardly feels that way, each day after December’s winter solstice, daylight is longer and spring is around the corner. EA Grand Slam Tennis, a naturally suitable game for Nintendo Wii players using Wii Motion Plus, is prepping for release to PS3 and for the Xbox 360 game system.

Part of the EA Grand Slam series, Grand Slam Tennis lets you pick a favorite pro Tennis player and swing your racquet away towards victory. The original developers of Grand Slam Tennis originally designed it for the virtual motion sensitive Nintendo Wii format for release in June 2009. So Wii players had a lead at getting into swing of things on the courts. PS3 and X360 were to get their own versions before Christmas 2009 but technical difficulties delayed release. Now EA is ready to deliver Grand Slam Tennis for PS3 and X360 before the Spring equinox and game players are hungry to get into the action. Continue Reading »

The long wait is finally over. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally here. Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 picks up a few years after the first game. Like all veteran COD players know, you get to traverse various locales in the different mission settings. You will fight in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil and a bombed out Washington D.C. The single player is brief and intense.

After the single player campaign, grab a partner and jump into the Special Ops mode. It’s a cooperative mode that uses locales from the single player not related to that campaign. You can play Special Ops alone, but what fun is that? Coop is definitely the preferred way to play this mode.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. So what’s the verdict on the sequel? It is superb. It’s currently the highest rated console game of the year on gamerankings.

Without giving away spoilers, you resume the role of the protagonist, Nathan Drake. The adventure starts a few years after the first game. Nathan is tasked with investigating the mysterious voyage of Marco Polo from China in 1292. Marco Polo left with fourteen ships and had a crew of over 600 men. However, Polo only arrived with one ship and a crew of 18.

Nathan traverses different terrains, and exotic locales to get to the bottom of this mystery. I won’t say anymore, but I will say that this is the best looking game I have ever played, and I have played just about everything. The graphics are stellar. Check out the IGN video review below. If you have a PS3, you’d be foolish not to buy this game.
