Yesterday morning we got another chance to see Modern Warfare 2 as part of Infinity Ward’s epic European tour. It was a more laid back affair than last month's multiplayer event in Los Angeles and felt less like we were being treated to something completely 'new' but we did get a chance to catch up with Robert Bowling (Infinity Ward's adopted spokesman and Creative Strategist) see some more single-player and have a go on Special Ops.
After continued exposure to ModNation Racers, we get the feeling that people will approach it in two very definite ways; one group (the lazy, instantaneous thrill seekers) will be quite happy if they never create anything.

We, on the other hand, asked Where the Wild Things Are Because We Want to Hit Them With Rakes. Gamers are destructive.
Monster Hunter is one of those game series that, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, has yet to attain the explosive popularity in North America that it has overseas.
