The cat is out of the bag. In fact the cat has been grabbed from the bag and flung at the world, and the bag has been burned. Less than two weeks ago, Activision was still pretending to act surprised when people asked them about the next Call of Duty game. But then the leaks began (possibly because Activision wanted them leaked). Soon a full breakdown of the story was available. Once that was out, the first set of teasers were released.

And now with E3 just two weeks away and the eyes of the gaming world focusing on what’s coming this year and on, Activision and Infinity Ward have released the first official trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, featuring gameplay and a look at some of the exotic locations you will be blowing up.

The game will pick up right where Modern Warfare 2 picked up, with World War III just getting revved up. The fighting rages across the globe, with New York, London and Paris getting hammered, while Soap and Price travel the globe in search of Makarov.

Developed by Infinity Ward primarily, the newly formed Sledgehammer Games is lending a hand with the single-player campaign, while Raven Software, makers of Singularity (and most recently the Call of Duty: Black Ops zombie DLC “Call of the Dead”), is helping with the multiplayer. Look for it on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 8.

I found 2 Prime Day gaming laptop deals that dodge the usual RGB regret
The smarter pick depends on what you value more: RTX 5060 performance or a roomier 18-inch screen.

Prime Day gaming laptop deals can look impressive until you slow down and read the actual spec sheet. For gaming laptops, the discount only gets interesting after the GPU, display, memory, and storage pass inspection. These two MSI and ASUS deals stand out because their strengths are easy to understand before checkout.

These gaming accessories are heavily discounted for Prime Day, and I’d buy them myself
After reviewing countless gaming products over the years, these are the Prime Day deals that impressed me the most.
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

As someone who spends a good chunk of my day gaming, testing gaming hardware, and reviewing everything from monitors and headsets to mice and controllers, I'm always keeping an eye out for genuinely good deals. Over the years, I've used and reviewed hundreds of gaming products, which has also taught me that not every Prime Day discount is as good as it looks. Some products are discounted for a reason, while others become genuinely compelling purchases once the price drops. After digging through this year's Prime Day offers, I've narrowed the list down to gaming accessories that I'd actually recommend to friends and fellow gamers. Whether you're looking for a massive display to transform your battlestation, a tournament-ready controller, or a premium wireless headset, these are the deals that stood out because of their performance, value, and the amount of money you're saving.

GTA VI finally gets a price tag and a no-disc rule for physical edition

Rockstar Games has finally confirmed the asking price of its highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto VI aka GTA 6. The game is going to cost $79.99 in the US for the standard edition, and if you're willing to plonk extra cash on the Ultimate Edition, you will have to part ways with $99.99 per copy. Pre-orders for the game are starting today, June 26th, at midnight, and you will be able to reserve a copy for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

The asking price is definitely on the higher side. However, it's still below the $100+ speculations that were floating just a few weeks ago. By PC and console gaming standards, $80 as a starting price is still quite a high fee. So far, only Nintendo has been able to sell games with a similar price tag and has courted plenty of backlash for it, as well.
