But I&#8217;m guessing after we hit the highpoint of summer &#8211; July 18, and you <em>know</em> why it&#8217;s the summer&#8217;s highpoint &#8211; and start that sticky and sweaty slide down to Labor Day, we&#8217;ll start thinking more about autumn&#8217;s darker fare.</p>
<p>Fare like <em><strong>Max Payne</strong></em>. The adaptation of the hit video game &#8211; one of the most innovative games on the market when it arrived, thanks to its incorporation of bullet time into game play &#8211; is due in theaters on October 17. Right when the days start getting short and death&#8217;s grip on the land grows stronger, we&#8217;ll get a dark, kinetic actioner about a man who&#8217;s lost everything in the world but thoughts of revenge.</p>
<p>Have a look at the trailer below.<br />

<p><em><strong>Max Payne</strong></em> stars <strong>Mark Wahlberg</strong> as the tormented cop and <strong>Mila Kunis</strong>, trying on a new persona as an assassin out for her own revenge.</p>

We haven&#8217;t covered a lot of videogame news in the past here at Pop Critics.  There&#8217;s always so much other stuff going on in entertainment that I guess we don&#8217;t always get around to the world of gaming.  That&#8217;s not to say that some of it isn&#8217;t interesting, though.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a big fan of the &#8220;<strong>Call Of Duty</strong>&#8221; games since they first came out.  Activision has had a huge hit on their hands with the franchise which has now seen four games released under the title.  A fifth game, &#8220;<strong>Call Of Duty: World At War</strong>&#8221; is on its way.  It&#8217;ll be arriving this fall for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.  It&#8217;ll be using the COD:4 game engine which most fans consider to be the best of the bunch.</p>
<p>With E3 coming up pretty soon the video game companies are starting to gear up their advertising so we finally have a trailer of the game.  Check it out.<br />

<p>Leave your packs and bring extra ammo,  Activision, Inc. and Treyarch, announced today that they will be taking Call of Duty players deep into the South Pacific and European theaters this fall for Call of Duty: World at War, a gritty fight that will pit players against enemies that know no surrender and show no mercy.  Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.</p>
<p>“With Call of Duty: World at War, we’re re-defining what it means to play a WWII game,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch.  “We’re excited to give players a host of new enemies that employ entirely new tactics, as well as new, groundbreaking tools – like co-op and the flamethrower – to succeed in the epic fight.”</p>
<p>Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the “No One Fights Alone” mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players will experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution.  The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively – if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War – they will always gain experience points.  Based on a player’s experience rank and rank of the player’s friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge.</p>
<p>Call of Duty: World at War is in development for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system, Nintendo Wii and Games for Windows. The title is scheduled for release this fall and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.</p>
