Destructoid writes: "In a sudden turn of events that have shocked the games industry, Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii will not have an online cooperative mode. Recently, WiiHD had a chance to speak with a Treyarch representative about the matter. The reason for the exclusion of the larger mode is massively surprising. Apparently, the Wii cannot sustain the World at War engine with that many people on-screen at the same time. This is what Treyarch had to officially say:

'We are proud to bring what we believe will be the best-looking Wii game this fall to the community, but that comes with technical trade-offs. The difference between competitive MP and co-op is non-trivial. Think of a size of an MP level, then compare that to an SP level. Then consider all the AI code, level scripting, and endless other content in a SP / co-op environment that is just too much for the Wii to sustain with our engine.'

This is incredibly unfortunate news that I'm sure most Wii owners were not aware of. The Wii, and its vast technological prowess, cannot handle online cooperative play. At the very least, World at War owners won't have to worry about collecting friend codes anymore."

HellDescent writes: "Hudson's Wii horror title Calling has now been given a box art packshot. For those of you who don't know anything about the title we will give you the run down. The game revolves around a mysterious 'Black Page' website that has nothing but a counter. Lore suggests that the counter is the number of people who have viewed the page and died. Others who see the page and experience traumatic moments in their lives get pulled into a Purgatory. The land between life and death, where they must discover the truth behind the 'Black Page' Calling is looking to be a freaky experience in the same vein as Fatal Frame.
