Joker961's HQ: Call of Duty and Gaming Links, 20 April 2010

Today's featured MW2 vid is a booster hunt by ThePCDriver. Next up is an impromptu booster hunt by 664TV triggered by a string of headshots on the killfeed. Finally, over on the PSNet side, DoubleyouCeeGee fights the good fight, chasing down and annotating the boosters as he spoils their cheating. Excellent work by all! On to the links:

Gamedot: GameStop mail insert hints at MW2 for Wii. (I didn't get one...)
The Lost Gamer: David Jaffe, creator of the God of War series, tweets that Modern Warfare 2's story “felt very disjointed.” The article links to his original tweet.
Playswitch: NPD sales analysis for March 2010: Modern Warfare 2 13th in March sales. Bonus: The article indicates MW2 may not be the 2nd best selling game of all time. FTA: "Now there’re a lot of problems with that statement. First one is a failure to specify bundled game or non-bundled game. Another is a failure to mention game from single platform to game from combined platforms. And another is a failure to verify lofty statement with hard numbers to back up the claim."
