Remember in Call of Duty 4 when you got so many kill streaks you would be able to use some sort of special ability? Well, there back in Call of Duty: World at War. Here’s the list.

Recon Plane (3 Kills):

Kill three enemies without dying and you are given the ability to call in a recon plane to mark enemies temporarily on your radar map. The only enemies that won’t appear are ones using the Reconnaissance perk.

Artillery Strike (5 Kills):

Kill five enemies without dying and you are given the ability to call in an artillery strike. This is very similar to the Airstrike command in COD4, however, instead of a line of bombs going off, the area in which you select for the drop is completely obliterated in a long series of cannon fire.

Unleash the Dogs (7 Kills):

Kill seven enemies without dying and you enable the ability to call in attack dogs, which will sniff out any enemies on the map. Unlike COD4, attack dogs will find you regardless of where you hide, making it exceedingly difficult to avoid them. Furthermore, killing the attack dogs will only save you temporarily as the hounds will respawn if killed until their time/kill limit has expired.

The dogs sound really brutal.

pes2009 PES 2009 to get Trophies

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will support Trophies but not sure whether trophies are supported from day 1 or from a future upgrade/patch. No word on what trophies there are and how you will achieve them.

We think that FIFA 09 should support trophies, if Konami make this move we think that EA may follow suit.

There’s a high chance that Sony will be using the existing Cell Broadband Engine architecture in their next generation console, the Playstation 4. Sony will most likely do this to lower the manufacturing costs.

The current plan PS4, Cell BE will be based on the original expansion of the PLAYSTATION + Cell BE appear to be close to a strategy that is in essence be no different.

I’ve just read an interesting article about what could be possible in the PS4, click here to read it.

Back in September when we reported that the Japan audience will be able to access the PSN directly. Well it looks like that Europe and North America may be getting the feature also. 

According to French site PSPGen (translated by Exophase), the new functionality will arrive with Firmware 5.0. You can also look forward to an RSS component update capable of reading text-based articles (rather than just audio, video or images).

It would be a really nice feature to have on the PSP.
