As you wait for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to hit stands this November, you can always sharpen your skill with some Black Ops online. And if you’re really bored of all the old maps, Treyarch have released a bunch of map packs over this year, the final one being Annihilation that’s out now. This map pack includes four multiplayer maps – Hanger 18, Drive-In, Silo, and Shangri-La – as well as a co-operative zombie Nazi one called Shangri-La. To celebrate the launch of this DLC, Activision are holding a double XP weekend starting today so if you need to get your third prestige, now would be the best time.

Who said golf was a soothing sport?

This DLC has been available to Xbox360 owners since a while now but it’s only been released today across the PlayStation Network and Steam at $14.99 (Rs. 660). That is steep for a map pack no doubt but this is Activision we’re talking about here so you shouldn’t be too surprised.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
