New York Times declares Bad Company 2 better than Modern Warfare 2

There’s been an understandable amount of fence sitting in the debate over which shooter is better: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

No DS full game downloads available via the Wii

Apparently the New York Times needed to make one more correction in it’s latest story on the Nintendo DS and Wii. The original story worded information that made it seem as though a DS version of the Virtual Console was in the works. Nintendo sources have discussed the issue with Gamasutra and Kotaku, and have more »
