Activision calls in the budget Secret Service

Looking for a shooter to fill the genre's void on the Xbox 360? Luckily Activision has revealed their recently announced, bargain-priced shooter Secret Service. As an agent of the presidential protection unit your duty will be to eliminate a terrorist organization who decides attacking Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day is a good idea. Which seems about as smart as attacking a Dunkin' Donuts next to a police station during a 2-for-1 sale. We kid.

Interested parties may enlist on the Xbox 360 "later this year" for the budget price of $39.99.

Never heard of it. I have heard of another game that may fill that void, it is called something like, g, tears, years, or gears, yeah, thats it, gears of war 2. Hmm, which shall I choose? Maybe I should make a pros and cons list of each and then compare...

My guess? Activision got a pay day from the US government to create a nice little game for them. Activision being capitalists happily took the money and then used the COD4 engine to make a cookie cutter turd. For $40 maybe the game will be fun but I doubt it.

I think you misread. You are referring to CoD WaW, this is different. Unless this game has some sort of beta we are not aware of.

Also,

release date of Nov 4, at this point. Too close to gears.

Activision is a dirty money grubbing whore. Infinity Ward deserves better.

this game's so budget that one of the characters had to make do with a piece of drain pipe for a rocket launcher. The downside being that the recoil seems to have inbedded it into his shoulder. That'll teach those pesky terrorists to use homemade weapons.
