Call of Duty fans, you're going to like this (that is, if you have a 3DTV or 3D PC). It was just announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops will be playable in stereoscopic 3D when the game is released on November 9th.

The game will be compatible with 3D-ready HDTVs and 3D PCs using active shutter 3D glasses. Call of Duty: Black Ops will be playable in both 3D and non-3D on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

"Development of stereoscopic 3D began as an R&D project, but once we saw what the technology brought to the Call of Duty experience, what a great fit and how immersive it was, we knew that we had to develop it for Black Ops. Aiming down the sights of your weapons, flying in helicopters, rappelling down mountains, and moving through highly detailed environments are just some of the awesome experiences you will have in 3D with Black Ops," says Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch.

Who Really Are the Gamers?


G.I. Jane

"Listen, you moron! I am here to stay and if you don't wanna' be in my life, you've got two choices. Move out or Ring out! That's it! End of File!" – Lt. Jordan O'Neill (Demi Moore), G.I. Jane (1997), Caravan Pictures

When we were growing up, our parents used to tell us to go out and play in the street. They meant it! Today, entertainment is at our kids' finger tips – computer video, game systems, standard TV, premium TV, mobile phone entertainment, music, and online Website options.

Nielsen Research says that about 5 percent of all U.S. family entertainment dollars is spent on video games. With video game households that percentage jumps to 9.3 percent of the monthly entertainment dollars.

Video gaming families also tend to spend more of their entertainment budget at home, rather than activities like eating out, shopping or basic TV cable packages.

But the stereotype gamer has gone the way of the dizzying array of gaming options. It's no longer our kid and his buddies barricaded back in his room firing rockets/mortars, jackin' cars, showing off their skills on his Xbox or PS3. He's not locked away online with World of Warcraft and a gazillion other MMOG players. He's sorta' ticked that he and his buds don't dominate video gaming. Read more
