Surprise of the week: Yahtzee thinks Mercenaries 2 is “fun”

Here’s something I didn’t see coming—Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, the grumpiest gaming curmudgeon that mocked so many games this side of Metal Gear Solid 4, has begrudgingly admitted that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is fun.

Modder unlocks original Call of Duty 4 training mission

YouTube is home to the oddest videos this side of the Internet. The above clip for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is just one of those oddities. Why is it odd? Because the FNG mission that you get to watch isn’t the same one you’ll experience when you play the game.

Resident Evil 5 is turning into a shooter

Speaking of Resident Evil 5, a new trailer for the survival-horror game was recently released and it’s looking mighty fine. The new Resident Evil is looking more and more “deliberately-paced shooter” than “scary action adventure game.” Want proof? Watch the trailer after the jump.

Crysis Warhead is even prettier than Crysis

Crysis Warhead is not a direct sequel to the original Crysis, the visceral 2007 FPS that made PCs worldwide tremble. Crysis Warhead is more of a parallel story about Michael “Psycho” Sykes, one of the characters in the original.

Oddities: Music video consists entirely of CoD4 gunshots

Remember those Halo 3 suicide videos? Do you recall how insanely elaborate they were? I think I may have just found the clip that surpasses those videos in terms of intricacy. Below is a music video made up entirely of Call of Duty 4 gunfire.
