GameSpoon: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Trailer



Wow...Speechless?

Okay people, let's re-cap. The next Infinity Ward Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, looks like it is picking up where we left off in COD 4; for those of us who played the campaign mode in the game. Unless I'm mistaken, is this the first COD game to continue a storyline?

For those of you who missed the boat on COD4: Modern Warfare, who then decided to pass on COD5: World at War (which you shouldn't have done, that game is fantastic!). Well your time has come. COD6: MW2 looks like it could be the greatest COD to date. It is your time, it is not to late to jump onto the COD bandwagon!

TubeSpoon - Upfronts Preview of ABC's Remake Of 'V'.



Fans of the early 80's sci-fi series will certainly be looking forward to ABC's upcoming remake. 'V' tells the story of a technologically advanced race of aliens that come to earth in peace...or so we're lead to believe. As the majority of Earth has accepted this new race as their saviors, a resistance is silently being formed. Their symbol is a spray painted red V...V For Victory.

Some familiar faces can be seen in this update, including Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliette from Lost), Scott Wolf (Party Of Five), and Morena Baccarin (Firefly).

This could be another hit for ABC and--along with the upcoming Flash Forward--could fill the void when Lost ends next year.

TubeSpoon - CHUCK SAVED! Picked Up For A 3rd Season...but there's a catch.



Alright, the good news is that The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that Chuck has been renewed and that NBC/Uni will announce on Tuesday. All good, right? That's what we at The Spoon and fans around the world wanted.

But this is NBC we're dealing with; there's always a catch.

The Reporter is also reporting that the Josh Schwartz comedy will suffer a MASSIVE budget cut. That means less visual effects, action sequences, and/or (heaven forbid) dropping cast members. I think we all know where they are going with this.

Buy More crew? See ya.

Ellie and Awesome? Later.

It has been a rocky road for Chuck, but at least it is getting the 3rd Season that it sorely needs. Especially after that Season 2 finale...

GameSpoon - Red Dead Redemption










Red Dead Redemption, the new upcoming game from Rockstar Games. This title looks sweet! I only hope it delivers.

Having never played the predecessor to Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Revolver (a game that received average scores; released in 2004), I honestly can't tell you what I expect from the game play. I love the prospect of an old west setting, it's a great setting for an action/adventure game based on outlaws.

Red Dead Redemption places you in the shoes of Clint Eastwood-style, former outlaw named John Martson. You are tasked with bringing law to the open world of the old frontier of the west; you can surely expect a few gunfights along the way.

The game will launch in the Fall of this year (2009) and will be available for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. This gives you plenty of time to clean out your spitoon, polish your Colt Peacemaker and saddle your ride... ye haw!

Enjoy!

TubeSpoon - CHUCK SAVED? Stay Tuned.



UPDATE: Chuck's fate will be decided on May 19th. By our own admission, The Spoon may have jumped the gun. NBC's Ben Silverman is now reporting that IF Chuck comes back, it may not be on Monday nights.

STAY TUNED.

After a week of internet speculation, a Subway campaign, and heated, coffee-fueled debate (primarily amongst those of us at The Spoon), NBC/Universal is expected to announce the renewal of CHUCK for next season. The spy comedy will join Parks & Recreation, Medium, Law & Order, and Southland as NBC's hour long survivors in the upcoming The Jay Leno Show era.

It's great to see fan support for this fun and intelligent show. It's also good that SpoonRock and I will be spared further unnecessary bitterness towards television as a whole.
