Weekly Recap Jan 29th: Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Anarchy Reigns, PSP2 Renamed NGP

Despite the last Call of Duty releasing just a few months ago, Activision is already shaping up the next two games in the series with the sci-fi space version and a possibly highly awaited threequal for Modern Warfare. In fact, it was revealed that there will be three companies working on the upcoming game so that’s good news for someone, I think. A new multiplayer fighting game is also on the way for the Xbox 360 and PS3 called Anarchy Reigns, which is a nice break from all the first-person shooters and aimless third-person adventure games. And Sony has officially unveiled the next generation of the PSP and it’s not called the PSP2 but instead called the NGP…Next Generation Portable, anyone? These stories and more in this January 29th, 2011 edition of Gaming Blend’s Weekly Recap.
