Even the smallest cock can change the course of the future.

Direct2Drive announced that they won't carry Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, because of the competition coming from Steam. The same thing goes for competing digital distributor Impulse, which also won't be handling Infinity Wards' shooter. Gamasutra has a statement from D2D:

"We believe strongly that when you buy a game from us, you shouldn't be forced to install and run a 3rd party software client to be able to play the game you purchased," D2D says. Another company rep said: "We don't believe games should force the user to install a Trojan Horse."

With all the pre-launch madness surrounding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, this game will probably go down in gaming history as one of the most controversial releases of all time.

Hm, they all smell the money. And now everyone wants their own slice... This would be sad if it wasn't so pathetic.

BioWare talks more about some of the enemies gamers will encounter in the sci-fi RPG, Mass Effect 2:

Dragon Age: Origins gets a few fixes and updates via Steam. The changes include:

• Fixed potential corruption of character statistics
• Fixed portrait appearance sliders when importing a character from the downloadable Character Creator
• Fixed import for preset face settings from the downloadable Character Creator
• Made Easy difficulty easier
• Slightly increased attack, defense, and damage scores for all party members at Normal difficulty
• Fixed video issues when running on a very wide screen display, including ATI Eyefinity displays

We also found out that the DA update is available on Impulse.

Canadian video game journalist Geoff Keighley tweets: "Blizzard is targeting 'first half of 2010' for Starcraft II according to Activision earnings call."

Okay, I guess this does confirm Blizzard's release date announced a few months back (they officially delayed the game to 2010).

Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again; 2010 is looking seriously overcrowded. But hey, that's what us geeks are here for, isn't it?

Right now there's so much rain outside it could easily be the end of the world. No matter. There's plenty to enjoy in the comfort of one's warm and cozy home. This Fall gaming season should have a lot for you to play regardless if you're a PC or console gamer. In my opinion, it's best to be a little of both these days. Because if you're not, you're just missing out on so much.
