Has Infinity Ward left Activision?

Today Activision announced that a developer named Sledgehammer Games will be starting a new Call of Duty franchise. It's reported that the new franchise will be an action aventure game; a first in the franchise. In other news coming from Activision, Vince Zampella and Jason West ( Both head of Infinity Ward.) have left the company. There is no report on why this happened, but there is a rumor that it could be because of a new IP that they were working on. Finally in relation to Infinity Ward. Activision has asked IW to make a Modern Warfare 3, but the company is relunctant to do so. Does this mean that the well know and one of the best selling series be on it's way out as well and onto a new publisher? Let the rumors begin.

Dante's Inferno: First Impressions

"I cant shake this feeling like I've done this before...No I have done this before, it's extremely similar." This was my inner monologue while I was indulging myself in the experience of Dante's Inferno. Before I dive into the un-settling aspects of the game I would like to start out with the positives. Viseral has outdone themselves when it comes to the visuals. The erriness of being in hell really hold up thoughout the game. The character models are well done and the voice acting superb. It never seems out of place or context. The story is engaging and avoids becoming irrelevant by reminding the player what they are fighting for. As for the un-settling parts it boils down to mechanics. The God of War mechanics are without a doubt present. From how you pull off attacks to how you gain health and mana, it is very reminiscent of the God of War series, but as I keep investing time in this experience I cannot see myself playing this game in any other fashion. So big kudos to Viseral Games for giving me an experience that is worth my 60 dollars so far.
