Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies hits iPhone App Store
I don’t know about you guys but my favorite mode in Call of Duty: World at War is none other than Nazi Zombies. Sure, the other modes are cool but there’s nothing like being locked in a room with a never ending supply of zombies to destroy. However, the only problem with this is that only PS3, Xbox 360 or PC gamers could get down on the fun.
Today, Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies has hit the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch allowing for the zombie slaying game play we’ve all come to know and love on a handheld platform. The gave will allow for 4 player WiFi or 2 player Bluetooth multiplayer gameplay with Achievements, Leaderboards and future support for DLC.
All of this can be yours for just $9.99, what are you waiting for?

Last month we learned that the PSP title SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 would be hitting store shelves on November 24rd. Today, Sony has announced that the game is getting a delay to January 12th, 2010. But what gives?
Producer Mark Rogers says that the delay will give them more time to properly market the game and give it the proper attention it deserves. Then again, they probably just don’t want to release it in the same month as Modern Warfare 2.

Sony has recently sent a memo to IGN that has effecitvely let the entire internet know that come October 1st the Playstation Store will have 16,000 peices of DLC for use with the brand new PSP Go.

Sure, the number got a bit of a boost from the TV episodes but it is in fact 16,000 pieces of DLC which is all that matters. Now we’ll just have to see if another actually wants the PSP Go, right?

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep official Japanese website open
Square Enix has opened up an official website yesterday for their upcoming PlayStation Portable Disney-crossover action RPG, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The site’s content (besides the menu) is in entirely kanji, so if you can’t read it, you’re out of luck. But most of the content is in regards to the game’s protagonists and story.
The pictures and video are nice to look at, although the trailer is outdated. And who can forget the epic music by the stylings of Yoko Shimomura and Kaoru Wada?
The game is listed for a Winter release this year in Japan. No word on when the game will be localized into English.
