Buy Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 together for £37.96:

The winter gaming rush is in full swing and is seriously damaging my wallet. So when online retailer GameStop announced that they will be offering both Battlefied and Modern Warfare 3 for £37.96 they instantly had my full attention.

Gamers will need to buy both games though putting up the full amount of cash initially. To receive the discount you must send back your copy of Battlefield before November the 18th. When GameStop receives the copy of Battlefield they will then refund customers £40.98.

This is the first time I remember a trade in deal of this kind, especially for websites and frankly I think this is a brilliant idea. You can get two games for cheap and GameStop will be able to get a set of pre-owned games to re-sell, not to mention half the people will forget to send their copy back…

Assassin’s Creed the movie. Coming to a theatre near you!:

It seems that they will try to make a film out of anything now days.  The latest story from Hollywood is that a new Assassin’s Creed game has almost got the green light.

Sony will reportedly work on creating and distributing the film with Ubisoft co-producing it.

“As we’ve stated before, Ubisoft is actively looking for film opportunities for our top brands,” a Ubisoft spokeswoman told CVG.

Unfortunately, these films are usually horrible and veer away from their sources becoming cheesy Hollywood cash-ins. Let’s hope that things turn out better for this adaptation and that we don’t get crap like Street Fighter:The Legend of Chun Li.
