The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 patch finally hit Xbox Live last night. Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling tweeted that the patch will be available for the Xbox 360, reason for delay was that Microsoft also had to QA the patch on their end, just to make sure everything could run through smoothly to the end users.
As you might already be aware this fix/patch is meant to fix the infinite ammo and private match glitches. It also rebalances the Model 1887 shotgun. This is the second patch in less than a month made specifically to address cheating, glitches, and unbalanced gameplay — all of which are a recipe for a less-than-enjoyable multiplayer experience.
Let us know what you think of the update and how it’s affected your gameplay experience online. Leave a comment below.
Here are a few of the new titles on Xbox Live Arcade released this week, along with Xbox 360 Demos

Software developer Jonathan Zdziarski has created the first Official APPLE App Store approved Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator for the Apple iPhone. And spending a few hours playing with it. I can clearly say that Jonathan has done a fantastic job at creating a very professional and well rounded emulator. For Version 1.0.0 this Nintendo (NES) emulator runs very well. Of course it has its little glitches with images and sound but mainly all the games (which I own the original cartridges for) that I was able to upload to the Emulator worked quite well and played just the way I remembered them to be back good old days.
Well I still have my NES top loaded still hooked up as I still collect the NES games, but it’s now even cooler to take this legendary home entertainment console with you everywhere you go. I have gone through all the options and features of the emulator in the review so I think all thats left to do is click on the play button and allow me to present to you the Nescaline Emulator for the Apple iPhone review by MasterAbbott of Capsule Computers.
Enjoy
Capsule Computer would like to give Nescaline 8 Capsules Out Of 10. It does need a little more work as explained in the video review but overall its exactly what you need to relive your childhood all over again.
Grab your copy of Nescaline now from the Apple iTunes Store Click on the BUY Now button below.

RT @fourzerotwo: Alright, just got word the #MW2 Xbox 360 patch should start going live at 2 AM. You can now remove my face from your dartboards… for now.
The update will be mandatory as soon as you login in Modern Warfare 2 and go online the patch will be sent over to your Xbox 360. A few less Glitches in the world is always a good thing.
Capcom is delaying Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2 and the North American release of Monster Hunter Tri into a 12-month period starting on April 1, 2010.
A forecast revisions document reveals that all four titles will be pushed back to the company’s 2010 fiscal year (staring in April, ending March 31, 2011) and spread out over all four quarters of the year. The document lists the reasons for the delays as follows.
・Avoid competing with the major titles that other companies plan to introduce in the 4th quarter
・Preserve the value of Capcom’s titles and maximize sales volume
・Expand the lineup of titles in the next fiscal year and afterward
Well as long as we still have Dark Void to play that should keep us all busy for a while.
