Merry Christmas everyone and all that crap!
You may have noticed we have been very quite this year as there's just nothing going on with PR^ and I think that is probably it for us but you never know. The site will stay up as long as we keep paying for it, just to keep our history online and all that.
|  Modern Warfare 2 becomes fastest selling game EVER!  By: HoriZon | |
Activision has calculated that Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7m copies across the UK and US in just one day.
That record-breaking number means the publisher made approximately $310 or £188m in 24 hours.
Activision boss Mike Griffith called the Call of Duty franchise a "cultural phenomenon", and said the "shattering" of records was due to a MW2 being "compelling, cinematic and uniquely engaging".
"Modern Warfare 2 has taken interactive experience to unprecedented heights setting a new standard for entertainment," he reckoned.
Modern Warfare 2 was released on Tuesday 10th November amidst a swarm of consumer and media hype.

Another Left 4 Dead 2 leak has sprung today, as a new trailer has popped up on the Internet with a show of survivor banter and bonding plus a spot of zombie dismemberment you can be quite certain won't make it to the Australian version.
Left 4 Dead 2 arrives for PC and Xbox 360 from November 17. Pre-ordering brings a 10% discount, exclusive baseball bat weapon and earlier demo access perks which have helped Valve's shooter sequel achieve pre-order numbers 300% that of Left 4 Dead.
The identity of Left 4 Dead 2's final two campaigns also leaked recently, revealing a campaign set in a shopping mall.

Though the PC version of DICE's Battlefield 1943 won't be out until sometime next year, the game is now available for preorder on the
EA store.
The downloadable game has been priced at $15, a figure in line with the console versions. Unique features of the PC version include 32-player multiplayer matches, joystick support and a server browser.
Originally scheduled to be released simultaneously on all platforms, Battlefield 1943 was eventually delayed to early 2010 on PC, with DICE calling the step necessary "to ensure the features and functionality that PC players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing."

DICE has pushed the PC release of Battlefield 1943 to early next year, after previously promising a September launch.
"We haven't released a Frostbite-built game on PC, so going into this project we lacked a starting foundation we had on Console," producer Gordon Van Dyke told G4TV.
"There are also many different and unique challenges to the PC that lead to us pushing the release even further to Q1 2010.
"This was a hard pill to swallow," he added, "but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing."
Van Dyke highlighted these as DirectX 9/10 support, a higher player count (32), wider peripheral support, voice support and ranked server provider hosting.
"So it was and still is the absolutely right decision, for quality sake, to not release until it is ready,"
Battlefield 1943 launched for PS3 and Xbox 360 in July. Lets hop its to add more content as the 360 one is a bit dull now needs more maps and more classes, though a great game it doesn't last!
|  Some Site Updates!  By: HoriZon | |
Fixed a few issues with the site and Firefox as well as some minor changes.
Updates:
- Messed with the old IE code on a lot of the results pages etc and things like 'tool tips' which didn't work in Firefox should work in both now. Stupid IE and its old buggy code!!
- Also added some new gfx to the site, you wont noticed them much :)
- Removed the members page link, as it was never completed.
- Added some BF1943 screenshots to the gallery.
- Fixed a few outdated links and spelling errors.
- Added full dates to the downloads in the menu to the right.
- Updated 'Links Page' with new images and ratings!
- Added full dates to the 'recent' and 'new items' pages.
- Removed some downloads which were outdated. (games patches and such)
- Various other small updates and fixes.
Think that was all. Other than that the clan has been very quite over the last year or so I think we may have called it time on the gaming side of things, but we will see.
As for the site I will add to it from time to time but as it is now don't expect too much new in news or other content! But get using those bloody forums!!! :)
Missed this, we went past our

11th birthday back in June!!
