It can sometimes be tough to keep track of all the new games coming out, but have no fear; we here at GuysGirl have your back.

Games generally come out on Tuesdays, although downloadable games--such as those found on Xbox Live--typically are released on Wednesdays. Special editions won't be listed on here because they come out the same day as the game, but any game that does have a special edition will be marked with an asterisk.

Here are the games being released for the month of February....hint: there's a game you will definitely want to play on Valentine's Day...

Alright folks, let’s keep moving and continue our tour of Modern Warfare 3’s impressive armory. Last time, I went over assault rifles, the bread-and-butter of most players. Today, I’ll cover submachine guns, also referred to as SMGs. If you like to run’n’gun, SMGs are the weapon for you.

SMGs are the weapon of choice for many Call of Duty players and can be extremely lethal. They are lighter than all other primary weapons, meaning you will have more mobility and speed than with other weapons.

Six out of the last eight Superbowls have been correctly predicted by the Madden simulation and this year’s simulation should make Giants fans very happy. Again.

Welcome to a brand new feature here on GuysGirl: Hot Topics; a weekly recap of the best and brightest stories from the gaming world over the past seven days. I'll highlight some of the top news items and reviews from the week.

PS3

It was a relatively quiet week for the Playstation 3, but for you PS3 aficionados out there, Final Fantasy XIII-2 (so is that Final Fantasy 14 or 26?) received an 8 out of 10 with a rating of "Great" from IGN. The game hits shelves in the US this Tuesday, January 31.

In sadder news, Insomniac Games has announced that it will no longer be working on the Resistance franchise. While the franchise is likely not done, Insomniac will no longer be the studio behind it, much like Bungie with Halo. Insomniac Chief Executive Officer Ted Price said, "Well, we believe that Resistance has reached its logical conclusion in terms of the story we wanted to tell."

Welcome back to another installment of Modern Warfare 3 Bootcamp. With the upcoming release of the first Map Pack (two maps are available now to Call of Duty Elite subscribers), it’s time to get the rust off and get back in game shape for the new content.



Today, we’ll begin our journey through the well-stocked armory Call of Duty offers. I’m going to break them down into their respective categories and go over them one category at a time. I have not used all of these weapons--I like to level them up all the way and get the 500 kill challenge before moving to another gun—but I’ll pass along my thoughts for those I have used as well as what I’ve observed and heard from other sources. First up: Assault Rifles.

Lots of fuss is being made over the fact that Mass Effect 3 is on Kinect but in my opinion, it will be refreshing to play a FPS that isn't named MW3 or Battlefiield 3 while using your entire body.

Take a look at the newest footage released about Mass Effect 3 on Kinect..

Those of you who have played any Call of Duty title since Modern Warfare are familiar with killstreaks. String a few kills together in one life, and you were rewarded with a UAV, airstrike, etc. In Modern Warfare 2, things were taken a step further as players were allowed to pick-and-choose from a list of available killstreaks. Players unlocked more killstreaks as they ranked up.

In Modern Warfare 3, the basic killstreak system remains the same, but some significant changes have been made. For starters, killstreaks have now been divided into three Strike Package classes: Assault, Support, and Specialist. You select which type you want to use when you create your class.

Welcome back to another installment of Modern Warfare 3 Bootcamp! I hope everyone had a good holiday break and that 2012 is treating you all well so far. If you missed the previous Bootcamp articles, you can find them here and here.

I would imagine that many of you received Modern Warfare 3 and have spent some time ringing in the New Year the old-fashioned way: with lead and explosions. By now you probably know the basics, but as you progress, you’ll unlock more and more features like Perks and Strike Packages. Now these areas are quite different than Modern Warfare 2, especially the Strike Packages. The premises are still the same, but there are a lot more choices and quite a few new options. Luckily, I’m here to cover them for you so that you won’t go in blind and unprepared the next time you venture out on the online battlefields of Modern Warfare 3.  Let’s start with Perks.

 Spike TV’s annual attempt at gaming coverage occurred again over the weekend at the Video Game Awards. While show was mildly entertaining, a big surprise was revealed during the show when a new trailer from Uncharted 3’s studio, Naughty Dog, made an appearance.

“The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Abandoned cities are being reclaimed by nature and the remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a brave teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States.”

Welcome back, folks! In case you haven’t had a chance, check out the first installment of Modern Warfare 3 Bootcamp here.

Today, I’m going to go over attachments, equipment, and death streaks. I’ll cover them all and pass on what I’ve learned and experienced in using them on the fields of Modern Warfare 3.

 
The riot shield guy better hope there's no Semtex heading his way.
