14 DAY TRIAL // It's been a big week for gaming and especially for those who are in love with the first-person shooter genre as a very big information dump from inside developer Infinity Ward showing what the team was doing with the single-player portion of the game and what additions are coming to the multiplayer side.
On the actual gaming front, we have a Quick Look at The Witcher 2, one for indie climate change strategy Fate of the World, one for Outland and for Dragon Age: Legends Remix 01.
We also have a Weekend Reading feature which talks about the recent big leak of information from Infinity Ward about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and an EndWeekGame article that details my gaming habits for the weekend.
And, as always, we have a full round up of all the most important news of the week that was.
On Monday, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was the star despite the fact that it was not officially announced with the single-player story revealed in glorious details and with a lot of information on the maps of the multiplayer section.
On Tuesday, a big retailing source confirmed that the leaked November 8 launch date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was essentially correct while Gabe Newell, the boss of well-known developer Valve, suggested that game pricing should depend on how polite a gamer performs when playing with others.
Wednesday was the day after the launch of The Witcher 2 and a small controversy built on review aggregation site Metacritic, where a number of gamers gave the CD Projekt RED game a 0 score while dolling out 10 scores to Dragon Age II.
That same day, Lionhead talked about used games and about how they are more threatening for the Xbox 360 than piracy.
On Thursday, Microsoft offered to replace a number of home consoles that are not compatible with a new firmware while a study showed that bigger brains lead to better performance in real time strategy games.
On Friday, we talked about the connection between Bungie and Destiny and about the possible comparisons between BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic and the Blizzard made World of Warcraft.
