Rumor: Xbox 360's Natal dated and priced

Reports from a couple of sources are saying that the upcoming Project Natal camera will be set to release in Nov. 2010, with a price of somewhere between $50 and $80 American dollars. Also of note, about 14 games are to be released at Natal's launch - Milo was not mentioned in specifics, but I'm sure it'll be one of the titles, that's if Microsoft knows what's good for them.

Modern Warfare 2 Has Broken UK Sales Records

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has obliterated UK day-one sales record, previously held by Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV. War-hungry Brits snapped up a colossal 1.23 Million copies of the game, almost double that of GTA IV, which previously held the record at 613,000 sales.

I can't say I am surprised, considering the huge buzz around the title. Activision made plenty of noise in London last night at the launch party. Some stores opened at midnight with hundreds queuing up to get the game. Did you get yourself a copy?

Pictures - Macbook Pro battery gives up - Breaks apart

This horrific sight you are looking at is not rare at all. This particular pic showed up an Engadget today, and it depicts a bloated Macbook Pro battery that was close to exploding. They alone have covered at least 4 cases of this, and this also is happening in PC's too.

The story behind this one is as follows: a 17-inch (non-unibody) Macbook Pro owner was using his machine on a desk (thank god), when suddenly an odd noise began to increase in volume, following that, the entire machine "hopped up" slightly and turned off, and this battery is to blame. So as you are reading this with your laptop on your lap, we recommend you put on some blast shield boxers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review - Part 1

After first playing the game I was super stoked and am loving it. The game feels smoother and somehow improved from Modern Warefare 1.

In a recent post by our very own Ricardo Trejo he explained about the controversial first level. Luckily, the game has an option to skip certain levels, such as one mentioned above, just in case the player finds it offensive. Sadly, though, I agree, if you can't handle the level, then why are you playing the game in the first place? 

More after the break!
