Treyarch's unsubtle grab at the modern-shooter spotlight is clearly evident in Call of Duty: Black Ops. I felt right at home after witnessing the game's orgy of gratuitous explosions.
Video Blips:
• No name, no limits, and no recognition — your anonymity cloaks your every action in Call of Duty: Black Op's single-player. Players should tread lightly when given free rein to pursue their objectives. You can't blow up everything and not expect to be noticed.

Continue after the break for an intriguing lesson on Disney history in Epic Mickey, a peek into the character creation system of DC Universe Online, and a madman-themed content pack for Dead Rising 2.
• Epic Mickey's Warren Spector speaks on the origins of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Two mammalian creatures defending their integrity with paintbrushes? Now that's Disney magic!

• Dead Rising 2's new "Psycho" downloadable content eschews sanity in favor of zombie-slaying madness. Who says protagonist Chuck Greene can't unwind behind a hockey mask? He's just a "misunderstood angry soul."
