12:50pm 20 Nov 2009 Modern Warfare 2 is generating a lot of interest this week: it's already grossed something like US$550m in its first week of sales, and tomorrow, Saturday, at 11.30am,  I'll be talking on National Radio about the game.

Gerard Campbell, chief video game reviewer for The Press, has been playing video games for what seems like forever. He still remembers when he had to load games for his Sinclair ZX Spectrum from a tape player. Gerard blogs on events in the gaming industry.

I'd like to see people being able to only see info about places from friendgroups. Map out good places to get coffee, quiet areas of the city, et cetera.

Bird's eye maps.

Traffic information.

All sorts of things.

And no [expletive] advertising. Sick of people trying to constantly push products on me in every new form of media as it comes along.

The headsets could be as expensive as they have to be. Just no ads, please.

@hadleigh, yes you can. I used a bog standard MSoft USB keyboard for Twitter on Xbox 360 and it worked flawlessly. I'd say it would be the same for Facebook. Much better than using the joypad to type, IMO.

Hadleigh.. dont think so as you'd have peeps playing RTS on a mouse.. and they sell the little mini keyboards for your controllers. It wouldnt be microsoft if you could!! You have to pay! Haha stink 1.

BUT I do like the facebook, I thought I wouldnt but I do. The missus especially loves how she can now have a slideshow of her photos on the tv when guests come around..

Dont agree with GOTY including Left4Dead2. Just dont. No reason other than it just doesnt feel fresh enough to warrant it..
