With, probably, the most highly anticipated shooter coming out just next week, it's a sure fire bet that gamers everywhere are smashing their piggy banks as we speak to spend their hard earned pennies on Call of Duty: Black Ops. I say "most highly anticipated" not just because a slew of gamers can't wait to get their hands on Black Ops but also because fellow game enthusiasts like myself want to see how Black Ops stands against the "big time" shooters which have already been released such as Medal of Honor and Halo Reach. We only have but a week to wait. Hit the jump to see the launch trailer.

One of the biggest surprises at E3 was the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2. It was also one of the very few big name games there that was actually playable on the show floor. I got to spend some time playing the Xbox 360 version and the PC version. I also got to sit down and talk to Chet Faliszek, one of the writers of the game.
