If I haven’t told you, I’m in love with Call of Duty 4. I’m currently not playing it right now because I’m cheating on COD4 with Mass Effect but that’s besides the point. I have around 800 points in the game right now and I don’t see any of the other achievements being that bad to obtain except this one called the Mile High Club. Basically, you have to beat the very last level, the one placing you on a plane, on Veteran difficulty. That alone wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t have only 1 minute to do so. If you’ve gotten this achievement already, you’re a bad ass in my eyes. Although I see this achievement as extremely insane, here’s a video of someone actually doing it. Notice his excellent use of flash grenades during his carnage.

Here at Lawn of the Month, we like to touch on all aspects of the video game world. With so much negative feedback and press towards an industry that we see a lot of good in, it’s always nice to share a story, or in this case a link, that reflects the good that video games bring to the world.

I originally saw this YTMND in a forum and quickly dismissed it because frankly, I hate that site. But I saw it again on Digg and decided to check it out. This is a great story about a child and his mom who played Animal Crossing. I’m not going to spoil it for you but you can check the story out here. Unless you are just a heartless person, the story should be emotionally moving. I hope the general press picks this up because it’s a great example of how video games can and do warm the heart . Enjoy.

Some of you might be to young to remember this but back in 1994 Time Warner and Sega teamed up to create what was something very very forward thinking and ahead of it’s time: The Sega Channel. “What is the Sega Channel?” someone of you say. We’ll let’s take a little trip down memory lane and dissect what was one of the best ideas that was lost in the wind.

Great article. [link]

Despite a catchy 1890s soundtrack and realistic-feeling game play, Sousaphone Hero, the third installment of Activision’s massively popular Guitar Hero video game franchise, sold a mere 52 copies in the United States in its opening week, the company reported Monday.

“That controller is like 100 pounds even though its [sic] only plastic,” wrote mastagamer457, a moderator on one Sousaphone Hero message thread. “I think I screwed up my shoulder pretty bad.”

lol.

There are so many games I want to get in the next few months. Too many. So I started making a list to keep all the release days straight. This is the “I-have-to-get-or-I-will-die” list, so there are a few more that I want, but probably won’t get. It comes out to almost $500 in video games, time to start saving up.

Xbox 360

• 09/25/07 — Halo 3
• 10/09/07 — The Orange Box (Half Life 2 - Episode 2)
• 10/17/07 — GTA IV
• 10/??/07 — Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Wii

• TBA 2007 — Super Mario Galaxy

At least I’ll have lots of games to play while everyone complains about how I got them lottery tickets for Christmas.

Being that the iPhone is coming out tomorrow, you might need some content to fill it up with right? Sure there’s music and videos, but have you heard of a little thing called a podcast? Imagine all the news that you want to know, portable, in nice thirty minutes or up to two hour chunks. There are podcast for everything from calculus lecturers to cooking. I’m sure you could even learn how to speak another language from a few of them as well.
Today boys and girls, I would like to give you my top 5 favorite video game podcast. I’ve listened to a lot of podcast geared toward video game and I think that these 5 outshine all of the rest. Yes they are ranked in order and no I don’t care if you agree with me or not. Interested? I thought so.
