It's been a long time since my last post here on Tagged Blog but I was focusing on other things...including my own personal blog.
E3 2011 is here and I will be giving you my opinions on the announcements, trailers and more as the event progresses. Unfortunately I can't be at the event personally but luckily there is the interwebs!
On a side note, the EB Games Expo is coming in October this year to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Tagged Blog has applied for media entry and if we are successful then we will provide ongoing and live coverage of the event as it proceeds as well as video footage and maybe even interviews! Even if we are unsuccessful in our media bid we will still provide coverage of the event but it will not be as intense and awesome as if we got media passes!
Stay tuned for our E3 opinions starting tomorrow here at Tagged Blog and a dedicated EB Games Convention Page coming soon to Tagged Blog!

Former Infinity Ward heads create new studio
Yesterday an interesting but not surprising move happened in the Activision vs Infinity Ward story. "Jason West and Vince Zampella, creators of the multi-billion dollar Call of Duty® franchise, announced the formation of a new development studio -- Respawn Entertainment." and they have "awarded Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS), through the distinguished EA Partners program, exclusive worldwide publishing and distribution rights to future games." This is great news for all Call of Duty fans because it looks like the same people who made Modern Warfare 2 will be making new games which should be just as good and running on some better managed servers.
Despite the fact that this is no real surprise, what really bugs me is that West and Zampella would have the guts to do this in the middle of one of the biggest lawsuits. By defecting to EA and making their own studio they are only going to get Activision madder and make the situation a whole lot worse for themselves and the embattled Infinity Ward. If I were them I would have waited until the situation blew over and the court case resolved before making such a shocking and bold move as this.
