Last night, we hung out with the fine folks over at EA for their 2010 Showcase. Lots of new and upcoming games on display, and we went hands-on with quite a few — some of which are not even announced yet. Most of it is under embargo until a later date, but keep an eye out. We'll have coverage up soon enough.
Today is Veterans/Remembrance Day, so we're not quite sure how much activity there will be news-wise, but we'll be around to give you the latest coverage.
I've played a bit of Black Ops, and while I'm not blown away yet, I am glad that it centers around one person and chronicles his life as a special ops operator ... so far, anyhow.
