Welcome to the second edition of the Burning Vision Gaming Insider! As we draw closer and closer to the holidays, game companies will be releasing tons of new media for fans before they release their games. Some of the biggest games to look forward to this season include: Left 4 Dead, Grand Theft Auto 4, Call of Duty: World at War and more. This insider covers Far Cry 2, Quantum of Solace, Mirror's Edge and many more!

The Left 4 Dead demo is finally here! For those of you that pre-ordered the game, you've had it a few days, but for the others, go get it! It is available on Steam only right now so head onto Steam and download yours!

Welcome to the first ever Burning Vision Gaming Insider! The purpose of the insider is to give the community new and exciting information about all the latest PC games. I'm sure a lot of you check out a few websites here and there but this insider is meant to provide ALL the information you need to know from the gaming world!

In this first issue we will talk about Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: World at War, Saint's Row 2, Dead Space and Grand Theft Auto 4 as well as some interesting information about the political race.

Koslov has just finished the review for Crysis: Warhead, the latest game from Crytek which is essentially an extension of Crysis. Here is an excerpt and click the link below to read the rest!

Crysis Warhead is the side story to Crysis (stating the obvious is just another hidden talent that I like to show off every once in awhile). You follow that one guy lovingly referred to as Jason Stathem, by Yatzhee Croshaw, in his review of the original game. A truly more endearing character than the original protagonist, "Nomad." Sgt "Psycho" Sykes, sounds like one of those stereotypical SAS guys that left Britain for some stupid reason and decided that the US is where the action is. Which would probably hold true to some extent but this story is supposed to take place in the future, so I'm betting that its some sort of NATO task force mostly comprised of US Marines and Rainbow Six Rejects.

Everyone around the community has heard us talking about this for quite sometime. We've had the beta version up for awhile with a pre-made template. This weekend I made a custom Wordpress template for Order 227 and I can proudly say it is up and running.

There are still some bugs to be worked out but for the most part it is running well. This blog is going to be a community blog and a select few people will gain admin access to add new posts. Anyone can comment as long as they put in their name and email. Anyone can also post to the blog by giving the blog admins a writeup which we will then post on the site after edits. Those admins will be posted on the forums later this week.

Well my computer is finally back in working order and with that I've managed to do the edits to the site I was speaking of before.

I have brought up this issue in the past few weeks to the game admins and we have come to an agreement that it would be best to push the community forward with the removal of the divisions. I've noticed recently that we have been playing a lot of different games and I thought it would be best if we just invite new members to join for whatever game. This way they'll be joining the community as a whole and we won't be as segregated as before.

The writers at Burning Vision have created five new game reviews for some of the latest games! Have you missed out on some games? Not sure if you want to buy it? Read our reviews and get the answers! Here is a list of what we've posted with a short snippet from each review:

Hey guys, in case I haven't told you already (which I haven't). BFH will be an official game of BV whether it sucks or not (which I can vouch that it doesn't) since it is part of the Battlefield series it counts.

So anyway I got this cool video I found that shows stuff I'm not allowed to show so ya, check it out!

Well it is partially good news and partially bad news. The good news is we have an update on the BFH status. The bad news is we won't see the game until Winter. Here is a little preview just so you guys can start getting all excited again after the delay :)

"We had the chance to sit down and get into the game again and shoot some of the beta testers (or be shot by them constantly) which gave us plenty of time to notice that tanks aren't as deadly to infantry anymore (and each infantry class comes equipped with something that can take down a tank, like sticky bombs) and aircraft are mainly used for destroying other vehicles. It's also definitely a trip to see the different costumes characters are wearing into combat. Bizarre for sure, but also pretty fun and setting up your character's look is easy as pie in the Flash setup screen before play. Though the level shown at the Showcase was the same one that we've seen at prio events there was some new information courtesy of DICE's Ben Cousins. As many of you undoubtedly know, the game's launch was delayed until later this year. The good news is that this is giving the team plenty of time to fix any problems and iron out any balance issues resulting from the distribution of weapons and MMO-like skills given to each of the character classes."

Team Fortress 2 has a heavy update coming our way. Not only that but they're proud (which makes me excited) to announce that the custom map steel will be made an official map! Check it out.

"Valve has released details on the next character update for Team Fortress 2, the developer's popular class-based first-person shooter. The next character enhancement promises to be the biggest and will feature the Heavy, which is the third character update and follows the Medic and Pyro additions. Unlike the previous updates, Valve will reveal snippets of new information through a six-day unveiling process, via the game's official website. Today's reveal showcases the addition of community map CP_Steel to the game's official map lineup. The level, created by Jamie "Fishbus" Manson, is a complex attack/defend control point map. However, unlike traditional control point maps, CP_Steel opens up new territories when a point is taken, which changes the dynamics of warfare. In total, there are five more upcoming reveals spreading out to Tuesday, August 19, which is the day the update will launch. Players can expect three new unlockable weapons, 35 Heavy-specific achievements, a new game mode with five new maps for it, a new Payload map, and more. Valve will post all of this information and new screens throughout the week and will debut a special installment of the "Meet the Team" series of video shorts."

The brand new Burning Vision website is now live! After much hard work we have finally upgraded from version 2.0 to version 3.0. This new version has a ton of new features. The main site is entirely coded in XHTML and CSS. The site before this was coded with primarily HTML and had a lot of code that wasn't functional at all. The new XHTML/CSS combo makes the site faster to load and more efficient plus it allows me to create more network sites to expand the community easier.
