So, we decided to send one lucky fan to Call of Duty XP 2012!

Before we announce the winner, we’d like to thank all of you FPS Freek Prestige fans for your support through the years. We love our fans and hope to bring you more big giveaways like this in the near future.

The winner of the CoD XP 2012 trip is Daniel Kvaley! We’ll be contacting you via the email address you provided very soon.

There are very few FPS Freek Prestige’s left in stock so get them while you still can.

It’s highly unlikely that you haven’t heard at least something about the upcoming Source mod, School Shooter: North American Tour 2012.  But, if you somehow haven’t, here’s a quick synopsis taken from developer Checkerboarded Studios (It’s okay if you don’t recognize the name. They realize that you have no idea who they are and that’s why they’re making a game like this):

You play a disgruntled student, fed up with something (we're not exactly sure), and after researching multiple school shooting martyrs, he decides to become the best school shooter ever. You decide to arm yourself with the exact same weapons as a previous school shooter such as; Eric Harris' TEC-9, Dylan's sawed-off shotgun, Seung-Hui Cho's akimbo pistols, Nevada-Tan's...box cutter? The possibilities are endless, you are free to do whatever you want. As long as it involves shooting people.

School Shooter: North American Tour 2012 is dedicated to being the best school shooting experience an angsty little shit could ever experience, with contributions from [NAME REDACTED] of [COMPANY REDACTED], as well as [NAME REDACTED], we would also like to mention how much [NAME REDACTED] has had a key part in certain areas such as [INFORMATION FORTHCOMING].

Simply put, this shit will blow your mother******* mind. Literally, you will shoot yourself in the head at the end of the game. Sorry for spoiling it, but what did you expect? You're a spree killer, not a man.

Features include:

• 6 amazingly realistic maps with cool features like high dynamic range, and multiple students for you to shoot at.
• A points system that tracks every murder you commit. Bonuses are recieved for various things such as headshots, difficulty level you are on, what your health is, how cool you are in real life, and some other stuff that we'll probably crowbar in as time goes on by.
• A weapon loadout system based on 4 real-life spree killers.
• 13 brand-new fu**in' weapons based on the weapons used by the aforementioned 4 spree killers, these will all be pain-stakingly modeled by one of our best (and probably only modeler), [NAME REDACTED].
• A round timer that will give you about 5 or so minutes to do what you do best, kill people. Gamemodes will be programmed that interface with this round timer, the ones we're working on right now are a "survival" type gamemode were you try to survive the longest amount of time, and another were you are given 60 seconds to kill as many people as you can. The more kills you get, the more time you get.
• Music that sounds a lot like the things certain school shooters (their names rhyme with Shmylan and Shmeric) were thought to be influenced by.
• Developer commentary by fellow developers of this fine project. Note: Developers actual voices will be masked in order to protect them from potential backlash.
• And what is more better than the ability to commit suicide at the end of your spree with a self-inflicted gun shot wound? What's even more special is that this works, even if you're completely out of ammo! (Real spree killers keep a single bullet hidden in their boot incase some shit goes down).

Sounds pretty _________, don’t you think?  Just fill in the blank with whatever word first popped in your head and we’ll go with that.  It seems like everyone has an opinion about this mod lately and nobody can seem to agree on what’s “right” or “wrong.”

Notice how neither opinion gets you anywhere?

Since there is so much interest in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, we figured we'd inform you of a little tournament being put together by GameStop, MLG/Gamebattles and Xbox 360.  Maybe you’ve heard of it already; maybe you haven't.  Either way, the deadline for entry is 3/14 (that’s Sunday, people!) and if you haven't registered yet you should probably get on it.  The tournament is for teams of 4 and you can play from your house.  So you can essentially team-up with anyone from anywhere.  And since we have such a great community of like-minded gamers here, we figured we'd create a space for you all to meet and maybe team up to play together in this tournament.

Head on over to our forums at KontrolFreek.com now!  You can discuss BC2, recruit, form squads or just yell at each other.  Just hurry, the deadline is near.

See you on the Battlefield!

Like it or not, the era of motion controlled gaming is upon us.  With a ton of excitement coming out of the Tokyo Game Show, news of the impending motion revolution has risen to the top with a clear message:  watch out Nintendo!  Sony announced the first batch of Motion Controller supported games that will be hitting store shelves next spring.  So far, more than 10 games will lead the charge with plenty more to come, I'm sure (especially with the million-plus new slim PS3's in people’s homes).  Microsoft, not to be outdone, also announced all of the third-party publishers supporting their own motion device, Natal (no release date as of yet).  Their announcement was astounding, to say the least, as 70% of third-party game developers were named to be currently working on games.  This news is indeed proof that motion control gaming is not just a fleeting trend, but is undoubtedly, the future (immediate future, anyway) of gaming.
KontrolFreek wants to know your take on the imminent motion controlled gaming future.  Do you like the idea of standing and moving around while you play games, or will they have to pry that controller from your cold, dead hands?
