Activision Blizzard really likes sequels. And war. War sequels? Even better.

News Blips:

• Back to the front: Call of Duty 7 looks to be in development. A developer over at Treyarch listed Call of Duty 7 on his LinkedIn profile leading savvy Internet job profile-stalkers to post the intel on the Internet. Not really surprising, but it's odd that game makers haven't learned not to post unannounced information on the Web for everyone to see. Hmm, wonder if Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has a LinkedIn profile... [Shacknews]

• Blizzard's next big game may be Craftless. Blizzard's community manager has confirmed its massively multiplayer online role-playing game currently in development will not be a spin-off of an existing franchise, but will instead be a brand new property. So long as it inspires Halloween costumes and ridiculous pornos, we totally support this. [Joystiq]

• Unofficial Lost iPhone app is fun for the first 108 minutes. Some Lost-loving iPhone developers created a "game" that lets you input numbers (not the official ones, sadly) into a crusty computer just like on the show. And, just like on the show, you have to do this every 108 minutes or something really, really bad happens. We think. Actually, we're not really sure -- we quit after the first 30 seconds.

• New racing game is like a first-person shooter without the shooting. Or so says Activion CEO Michael Griffith. He's talking about Blur, the new racer by developer Bizarre Creations, the pros behind Project Gotham Racing and Geometry Wars. In the game, you pick up power-ups on the tracks, so apparently that's similar to picking up weapons in a FPS. Wait, does that mean Mario Kart is really FPS-racer? Weird. [Kotaku]

• This is ironic: GamePolitics and Destructoid fight over videogame violence. Grab some popcorn and watch read the drama. [GamePolitics]

Hit the jump for some video blips, including a Ghostbusters trailer, baseball pinball, a dirt-eating Pac-Man, and...more.

Video Blips:

• Trailer calls; Ghostbusters picks up. Here's the trailer for Atari's upcoming Ghostbusters game. Cool, but needs more NES-controlled Statue of Liberty.

• Bayonetta developer explains his First Climax, uh, trailer. Bayonetta Director Hideki Kamiya reveals some interesting bits about his upcoming stylish action game. And then proceeds to smoke a cigarette afterwards.

• Bigs 2 big on mini-games. Watch all the fun things you can do in the game besides play the sport it's designed after.

Cultural Blips:

• Pac-Man roomba wacka wacka wacka's dirt...until it gets trapped under sofa. A creative Japanese modder decided to transform his roomba into the iconic pellet-muncher. Pretty amazing. And pointless. But mostly amazing. [technabob]

• Hackers control Mario via music, drums, and aaaah-ahhhh-ah's. Some creative programmers tweaked a version of the original NES Super Mario Bros. to allow you to control the portly plumber via sound. Now let's see them make this work with Mega Man 9. [Offworld via techabob]
