GAME: Guide to Midnight Launches for Black Ops

Be one of the first gamers in the UK to bag the hugely anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops at one of our many massive Midnight Openings, going on in GAME Stores across the country on the evening of 8th-9th November!

Guide to Midnight Launches

Stores open at the discretion of your local manager. This list shows the latest information we have on stores that are taking part in the midnight launch, however there may be changes. To be sure that your store is opening, please check with your local branch before going out on the night as they will have the latest information.

Opening Times

For midnight launches, stores generally open their doors around 11.45pm some may open earlier to help you with your trade-ins. Tills will be open from midnight. Stores will generally close around an hour later. Depending on customer demand, your local manager may choose to close earlier or stay open longer.

If you cant wait to get your game, the best advice is to get there for opening time. That way you can also discuss game tactics with other fans in the queue!

At Los Angeles's Exposition Park, in a hangar-like chamber packed with demo pods, Treyarch studio chief Mark Lamia is greeting the world's press. This is the Black Ops multiplayer reveal event, the latest expensive, well-organised hype-fest in Activision's multimillion-dollar marketng campaign. "We've never been more fired up than we have been this year about Call Of Duty: Black Ops," he states. "We've done the best work we've ever done." It is the standard pre-release schtick and we've all heard it before. But Lamia is unguardedly earnest. He means it. And he has to.

The expectations for Black Ops are immense. Not only is this the first Call Of Duty title snce the record-breaking Modern Warfare 2, it's also the first since the high-profile disintegration of Infinity Ward following the sackings of studio heads Jason West and Vince Zampella. Black Ops is the defining title in a new era, an era in which the kings of COD are dead, and Activision will seek to split its mega-franchise across multiple genres and studios. Treyarch, always the dependable holding midfielder of the COD development regime, is now moving into a forward position.


Treyarch studio chief Mark Lamia

It's something the team is taking immensely seriously. Black Ops is certainly Treyarchs best looking game. Using an updated version of the in-house World At War engine, running at 60fps with texture streaming and a host of cutting-edge dynamic lighting techniques, its a dizzying cavalcade of explosions, environmental destruction and spraying blood. But more importantly, it is clearly also the developers most ambitious project in terms of telling a story and exploring structure. In the wake of World At War, the decision was made pretty quickly to move beyond the safe confines of WWII, and to shake up the established conventions of the whole series. The Cold War era, comparatively unexplored by game-makers, seemed the perfect spot to settle.

When we approached the period, we didnt want to limit ourselves to one conflict, says Lamia. We did a lot of research on Vietnam - its such a significant conflict in that era. We looked at the Bay of Pigs, at CIA operations there was clearly a lot of activity in Africa and South America. We could have ended up going almost anywhere in the world. But what we homed in on were black operations. And when we did that, it meant we could use historical conflicts as a backdrop - so while the game weaves its way through South East Asia, and youre there when the Tet offensive is kicking off, its not about the Vietnam war.

The team began researching pre-Delta Force units, small teams of specialist operatives employed throughout the 50s and 60s in deniable operations, usually with an anti-communist agenda. They hit on the Studies and Observations Group, formed in 1964, which dealt in unconventional and psychological warfare tactics during the Vietnam conflict. A former SOG soldier, John Plaster, was brought in to provide background detail. Plaster has written a book about his experiences, and these began to form the basis of the Black Ops narrative. The designers also consulted Hank Keirsey, the retired Lieutenant Colonel who has advised COD teams since the very first title. He related his experiences of commanding a mechanised company in Germany in the early 80s, training soldiers to react in the event of a Soviet invasion.



So we had a timeline of everything that was going on in the world through that time, and we had an idea of the type of game we wanted to make, explains Lamia. We wanted to emphasise the variety of locales We wanted people to feel there was a lot of variety in the environments, but also in the objectives, the pacing - there are a lot of different kinds of levels. And we weave this through the historical backdrop.

There is certainly variety. The three singleplayer levels Treyarch has revealed so far all take place in 1968, but over very different locales. The mission named Victor Charlie is a bloody slog through the jungles of Vietnam, with playable character Sergeant Mason surviving a helicopter crash before swimming along the Huong River, attacking a Viet Cong village and finally escaping through the hellish tunnel system. Payback allows the player to control a helicopter (a first for the series) as it takes off from a prison camp in Laos, strafing terrified enemy soldiers and indulging in fraught air-to-air combat with other choppers. Then theres WMD, featuring a raid on a weapons manufacturing facility perched on the frozen heights of the Ural mountains.

This is all fine for gameplay diversity, but the worry is well get a repeat of the Modern Warfare 2 storyline - an incoherent globetrotting mish-mash of vaguely associated set-pieces. Lamia recognises the concern, but is adamant that Treyarch has reined all of these components into a cogent narrative experience. At its centre is the very idea of secrecy, of ambiguity. The cool thing is, well, do you really know why the Bay of Pigs happened? he asks. Maybe that was just a cover for something. Maybe it wasnt. You wouldnt know. Back then the communications were different, the way things were reported was different - so if you have that mindset, you can get an idea of the creative approach on this game.

Lamia wont say, but it seems Black Ops will not be using a conventional war game narrative. Early teasers featured a sequence in which a soldier is apparently tied down and injected with some sort of performance-enhancing narcotic. When asked whether Jacobs Ladder, Adrian Lynes movie about a group of US soldiers experimented on with psychoactive drugs, was an influence, Lamia merely smiles and replies: There were a lot of influences. Ive been incredibly vague on the story because I think its going to be the thing that surprises people the most. Its unlike any other COD game, its entirely original.

Heres what I can tell you, he continues after not much badgering. The story is being told from the moment you put in your disc, to the end of the campaign. You do play some different characters along the way, but it is literally its going to challenge you to figure out whats going on. Its so immersive, the story is so tied to everything youre doing - you wont be saying: I dont see how the story and the gameplay are connected, but you may be saying: How do all the pieces fit together? Youll need to make sense of it all - because this is black ops. We embraced everything that was going on in that era in a very big way.



Multiplayer is another area in which Treyarch is making its mark on COD convention. The developer has taken the XP upgrades system thats marked the last three titles and added a currency in the form of COD Points. Players earn these by playing in ranked multiplayer games and can then spend them on weapons and equipment that would not otherwise be available at their current rank. They cant simply save up and buy everything, though - some weapon classes still need to be unlocked through the XP ranking system, so you still need to be a good, experienced player to get hold of the most devastating weaponry.

To get the most out of the points system, the design team has added two new game features: Contracts and Wagers. In the former, players are able to take on specific time-limited tasks within multiplayer sessions: Mercenary contracts pay you for making a required number of kills; Operation contracts reward effective team-based gaming; and Specialist contracts provide offbeat projects to complete amid the fragging.

The Wager mode is likely to be the star of the show, however, providing four dedicated multiplayer game types which allow players to bet on their performance - only those who finish in the top three will see any cash. Here, One In The Chamber is a deathmatch in which each player has just one bullet, and if thats wasted theyre down to melee, while Gun Game is a new version of a cult Counter-Strike mode in which players work their way through a range of different weapons, upgrading each time they make a successful kill. Its frenzied, hugely competitive stuff, and the emphasis on mastering the full range of the COD arsenal will have hardcore fans salivating.


Multiplayer design director David Vonderhaar

The addition of cash has already proven controversial, though, with some inevitably worrying that the in-game currency will soon be accompanied by the chance to use real money. Multiplayer design director David Vonderhaar, however, thinks COD Points are just a neat idea that will expose and exploit our base attitudes to money management: When we said its time to evolve the unlock system, and we came up with the idea of COD Points, we started to look at different types of people and what they do with money. Some invest it, so bam, theres the Contract mode, but some go to Vegas every weekend - hence the Wagers. COD Points provide a microcosm of the capitalist world in a game!

Originally developed as an internal level-design tool, the Combat Training mode is another key newcomer, allowing players to set up custom competitions against AI-controlled foes. As Vonderhaar explains, They have some smart behaviours, theyll try to steal care packages, theyll call in killstreak rewards, but theyre practice dummies, and theyre called dummies for a reason. Its a good way for you to get the vibe of multiplayer without people insulting your mom. Customisation has also been brought to the fore with an emblem editor allowing clans to add logos to weapons, and a theatre mode which records bouts and lets you edit them. Its a neat, intuitive and expansive system that should see some stylish shootout sequences hitting YouTube.

So far, four multiplayer maps have been shown off, and they all look and feel like very solid Call Of Duty standards. Launch is a dense, multi-level military base, complete with rocket launch pad; Radiation is a disintegrating Russian nuclear outpost; Cracked is an urban wasteland of detonated shops and crater-lined streets; and Summit is the sparse snow level, with another cluster of military-industrial buildings. Its classic stuff, filled with raised, semi-hidden viewpoints for sniping thrills, winding corridors and central spaces for all-out battles. Theres a clever interplay of spaces like stairwells and passageways, allowing enemies to blast at each other as they rush from one set-piece locale to the next. Its consummate multiplayer design.

This is a ground-based infantry shooter - you have to get the engagement distances right, says Vonderhaar. We have rules. I have a Powerpoint presentation thats a hundred pages deep about what good engagement ranges are, and visual cues, and about continuous paths versus bends, and what colours things need to be to contrast. Its called the MP Level Design Bible and we take it very seriously. But rules are there to be broken and once you have a base map in place that follows those rules, you can start to do some weird things to it.

One of those weird things is the new interactive scenery. On several of the maps, there are buttons to press to open doors or cue timed events, like space rockets launching, that provide a focus beyond the shooting. I dont think the community has fully grasped the importance of this, says Josh Olin, Treyarchs community manager. Take Launch, for example, where the rocket takes off. If youre under it you die, but one of the Search and Destroy bomb sites is under there, and theres a Demolition site under there too. You have to time your attacks based around when that rockets going to go off - and you can use that to win the game. In CTF, Ive practised with my team here at Treyarch to capture the enemy flag, take it down through that route at just the right time, so the rocket launches and the guys who are chasing me cant get under there and have to turn round.


Treyarch community manager. Josh Olin

In Radiation, theres a set of blast doors that can only be opened and closed via a control panel on a platform nearby. This could well prove decisive in the Domination mode, as Olin points out: If youve captured that point, it might be valuable to send a couple of guys up there to take the control panel and close the doors. Now the only point of attack is down through the tunnels - so you know where theyre going to come from, they cant jump in from above. It can really change how the battle plays out.

And, naturally, there are new perks and killstreak rewards to discover. Some are re-skinned and slightly tweaked versions of familiar favourites: the UAV becomes a spy plane, the artillery strike becomes a mortar team, and the attack dogs are, well, the attack dogs (but much more deadly, apparently). There are complete newcomers, too. Most reports have pinpointed the amusing remote-control car, a reward for three consecutive kills that lets you speed a load of explosives toward any unwary enemy. Its tough to control, though, often getting hung up on scenery or whizzing straight past your target, but then if it was too easy to use it would quickly become an over-familiar nuisance.

Thats part of the balancing, which - judging by the version playable at Treyarchs multiplayer reveal event in September - is expertly judged. It all comes down to playtesting, explains Vonderhaar. Every evening between three and five, we playtest the maps. Anybody on the teams invited, everyone rallies into the designer bullpen, then we do the pass-the-controller game - so whoever has the joypad is allowed to talk. We ask: What was one thing you liked? What was one thing you didnt like? Then they pass the controller on. Sometimes this thing can take half an hour, sometimes its an hour and a half, and finally Im like: Get back to work!



There are several elements of the game yet to be announced. Its widely known that there will be fourplayer co-op, but Treyarch is keeping the details secret. And the Nazi Zombie mode, so popular in World At War, is certain to return. Indeed, the way the story behind that mode was later developed and explored in subsequent DLC may well hint at a crowd-sourced episodic future for Black Ops. As Lamia explains, We continued to evolve [Nazi Zombies] after World At War - there was a dialogue going on with some of our hardcore community, and we were able to interact with the community and evolve - we did that with our zombie lore.

And I expect that there will be some ways to do that with this game. We think its cool to be able to provide additional creative content - were looking at this game almost as though its a platform entry into something thats ongoing. Im not going to tell you thats our entire focus, but its part of our genetic make up here that were going to do stuff like that. So, is he talking about a continuing story exploring the Cold War into the 70s and 80s, via downloadable episodes? There might be bits and pieces in Black Ops. I definitely think theres something very exciting about interacting in a live way, and being able to respond. With online connectivity, I just need a couple of back doors in order to introduce new things. And then the resources and time to work on them!

Theres certainly a sense at Treyarch that Black Ops will be the teams defining achievement. This is the one it gets to experiment with, whether that means a non-linear, narcotic-tinged narrative or a game that expands off into the future via crowd-sourced downloadable plot extensions. A rejuvenated Infinity Ward may well grab back all the attention if it announces Modern Warfare 3, but for now, Call Of Duty is all about this veteran studio from Santa Monica, which believes it has produced its best game ever.

Analysis: predicting success of Black Ops launch

November 9th doesnt bring the release of the most anticipated game of the yearthat honor arguably goes to Blizzards Starcraft II--but Activisions Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the most popular game of 2010. In fact, the question on most peoples minds is not whether it will be a commercial success, but whether it can break the record sales of Modern Warfare 2.

Every indicator points to record-breaking sales for Black Ops
When Black Ops was first announced, many gamers were initially somewhat skeptical. Sure, the change of locale and time period was interesting, but Call of Duty games have become an annual affair for several years now. Moreover, the game is being developed by Treyarch, known to some gamers as the company who made the bad Call of Duty games. While its true that Treyarch was once the B team, the rift between Activision and series creator Infinity Wards principals has left the company as the lead on the franchise.

With yet another change in time period, and numerous tweaks to the multi-player formula, gamers have now seen that Treyarch will not be content to release a cash-cow title. Call of Duty has an incredibly strong brand image, but continued success demands something special. As an avid gamer and a fan of Infinity Wards Modern Warfare sub-series in the franchise, everything I have seen pre-release is a positive sign. This doesnt even take into account the fact that this will be the first major console game released with 3D capability.

When Modern Warfare 2 released at almost the exact same time last year, it become the single biggest launch of an entertainment product in history. First day sales were 4.7 million units, with approximately $310 million total revenue. Five-day sales up to the first weekend hit around 8 million units and revenue of $550 million.

The leaves some pretty big shoes for Treyarch and Black Ops to fill. To predict how the game will do, there are a few things we can take a look at. While the launch of Halo: Reach was impressive for an Xbox 360-exclusive title, the figures met our expectations. First month sales have been equal to those of Halo 3, despite being available to a larger install base.

The next high profile shooter to release was EAs Medal of Honor earlier this week. While EA says that Medal of Honor has already become profitable, its done that by selling a 1.5 million units to date. Part of the games slow (in terms of expectations) sales can be attributed to mediocre press reviews, but it also stands to reason that many gamers are simply waiting for Black Ops to release. In fact, the weaker the sales for Medal of Honor, the better Black Ops will do. At any time, but especially now, its difficult to justify spending $60 on two relatively similar games that release only a month apart.

Add to this the fact that both U.S. retailer GameStop and major U.K. retailers such as HMV and GAME have indicated at numerous times that pre-orders are stronger for Black Ops than they were for Modern Warfare 2 and were in record-breaking category. While PS3 sales have slowed somewhat in 2010, Xbox 360 sales have been white hotleaving both of the core FPS consoles with significantly larger install bases for the game to reach.

Prediction: 5.5 million units on day one, 10 million units by the end of November.

Stay tuned on November 9th and thereafter for news about what will be the biggest entertainment launch yet! If you are still on the fence about which version to buy, check out our previous guide to the different platforms for the game.

Black Ops Pushing All The Right Buttons?

Most of you will be aware that Treyarch is very close to releasing its latest HUGE first person shooting game, Call of Duty Black Ops, if you were not aware of this then you probably live in a very dark cave with a piccolo and a lunchbox. Black Ops is set for a promising unveiling on November 9th, and there is a mixture of excitement and unease surrounding the next instalment of gamings biggest competitive multiplayer.

If you are still sitting on the fence about whether or not to pick up Black Ops, then let me outline the improvements Treyarch have been tirelessly implementing into the core online experience. In a bold move towards refining the multiplayer, Treyarch have modified the killstreak mechanic by not allowing any kills that players get using an already earned reward, to contribute towards the next killstreak. So this means no more ridiculous chains of pre-set kills, and it also means players can only get killstreaks the old fashioned way by getting their own hands dirty up close, which in my opinion changes everything in a fantastic way.

Another neat little change that Treyarch hopes will balance things out a lot more is that each killstreak reward is now interactive in a significant way. For example, instead if calling for a chopper gunner and then letting them wreck havoc on players while you laugh manically in the corner, you will now man the helicopters chain gun yourself. This in theory will force a new element of skill into using the rewards for them to be effective. There will be brand new perks for you to toy with, and curiously the first perk slot influences how your character looks (e.g. flak jacket, helmet) so this makes them distinctly identifiable.

When online you can now also dive to a prone position, the idea being to throw in some evasive manoeuvres to ease up the bloodbathslightly. The expandable player map is now handily divided up into quadrants, so you can now co-ordinate attacks and experiment with different tactical approaches far more easily now. The shotgun is now categorized as a primary weapon, so if you choose to use one, you actually have to have a play style that compliments it, because its going to be your main killing tool when you play.

As if that wasnt enough, the developers are reintroducing the critically acclaimed Zombie Mode, where you must battle against increasingly large waves of brain eating undead, and better yet there is now a theatre mode that enables you to revisit matches as a spectator to either analyse how the match went or to edit together the greatest ownage video ever. But is this enough? Many fans played Modern Warfare 2 online but got fed up with it after a month, so will Black Ops hold your attention this time around? We all know another CoD is coming next year, so does 12 months sound about right for you

GAME selling Call of Duty: Black Ops 'Mega Bundle'



310 Black Ops bundle available to pre-order, includes headset, XBL Gold subscription, guide and controller.


Are you a hardcore Call of Duty fan? Do you need to have everything Black Ops-related when it launches in just 18 days time? Do you have more money than sense? Well, this may be the bundle for you.

GAME.co.uk currently has a 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Mega Bundle' available for pre-order, containing a standard edition copy of the game, plus a 12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription with free Black Ops t-shirt, a Call of Duty: Black Ops Xbox 360 PrecisionAIM Controller, a Call of Duty: Black Ops Dolby Surround Gaming Headset and a strategy guide.

A nice package admittedly, but how much does it cost? You might want to be sitting down...

309.95.

One for the Call of Duty-devotee only, then. Which confuses us slightly.

If you're hardcore enough to pop down over 300 on Black Ops, we'd expect you'll at least be wanting a Hardened Edition of the game, or failing that, a Collector's Edition version of the guide. But maybe that's just us.

But if you're in the mood to splash the cash, head over to GAME.co.uk to get your order in now.

Concerns of Addiction, Race, and Penises in Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer

Messing up the massively popular Call of Duty series with the upcoming release, Black Ops, is impossible. Really, all developer Treyarch has to do is stick to previous developer Infinity Ward's game plan (from Modern Warfare 2), add a few new multiplayer maps and weapons, and call it a day. Instead, they're introducing some new features and customization options that have the potential to significantly change the way fans play online multiplayer. Here are three things they're adding, why each one rocks, and what's potentially bad about them.

1. COD points and wager matches

What's cool: Take the Call of Duty series' online mode, which is already mind-bogglingly addictive and successful, and add an element of digital crack. Players earn COD points from playing the multiplayer modes (i.e., 10 points per kill) which they can then use to unlock new weapons, character-customization options, contracts (think perks), etc. Furthermore, players can gamble their points in a wager match, where each contestant buys in at a certain price, and the top three players at the end split up the pot.

That's quite the incentive for losers to want to get better: Maybe one day they can be the champions stealing points from unfortunate "noobs." Even better, players who talk a lot of trash can now put their pretend money where their wireless-headset-adorned mouths are.

What's bad: Give people an opportunity to make bets, and you open the door for potential underground gambling rings to rise up around the game. Obviously, people could start them around other Call of Duties (or really, any competitive online title), but these wager matches streamline the process.

"That's really none of our responsibility," says Treyarch Community Manager Josh Olin. "We're out there to make an entertainment product, and that's all that we're focused on."

Fair enough, I suppose. But what are the chances of this game being quantifiably more addictive and providing more powerful psychological rewards -- via straight-up gambling -- to players than other shooters?

When asked if they were concerned that Black Ops would have the same addictive hallmarks as traditional gambling, minus the real-world money, Olin responded that he "hopes so" but then backtracked a little bit.

"I don't want to get people addicted to anything," he says, "but if people are playing Black Ops for hundreds of more hours now, and they're getting that much more life out of that product, that's what we set out to do. We want to entertain people, and unlike a movie, we can entertain people for months and months on end."

This then begs the question: Will Treyarch/Activision have to deal with lawsuits (like this one) where an addicted gamer sues the game maker because it left him unable to function in real life? Silly, but with purposely addictive elements added to the title, it seems increasingly less farfetched of a possibility.

2. Character customization

What's cool: Players can spend COD points to unlock face paint, weapons, reticles, and emblems for their characters. It's nice to be able stick out from the endless flood of players who frequent COD multiplayer and not look like every other boring generic soldier.

What's bad: With so much control over what your digital warrior looks like, where is the ethnicity-change option? Olin confirms that you cannot directly change the race or ethnicity of your character. So far, most avatars appear to be either white or Southeast Asian -- it changes depending on what class you choose. But what about blacks and Latinos? Didn't they fight in America's wars depicted in this game, too?

I don't mean to peg Black Ops for seeming to marginalize the contributions of people of color to the Vietnam War et al., especially since I was only able to check out parts of the multiplayer mode at a press event. But with so many character-customization options for added realism (and in many instances unrealism), why not let players change their skin tone or ethnicity? Out of the millions of people from all walks of life who play COD multiplayer, I'm sure many would appreciate the option to have their virtual servicemen better fit their identities.

Ollin defended that the game provides a variety of unlockable face paints, but I don't think that's the best way to change a Caucasian character into an African-American one.

3. Emblem editor for gun decals

What's cool: Give a bunch of amped-up young men some artistic tools to express themselves in a testosterone-filled game environment, and you can bet we'll see a cornucopia of penises. Community members can report any offensive icons that they see, so if people are OK with seeing dicks on everyone's firearms ("this is my rifle, this is my gun...."), they stay. Horses with pistols for hooves (see video) are cool and all, but what about a horse with -- well, you get the idea.

What's bad: Nothing, really...unless you're that phallus-obsessed kid from Superbad, and you get upset when someone censors your "art."

When Black Ops launches this November, you'll want to remember the old saying that "as Call of Duty goes, so goes the nation." Well, maybe not quite, but expect the lot of copycat shooters to generously borrow from Treyarch's battle strategy, because it's bound to be successful. Assuming that's the case, I hope that future developers tweak features like these in sensible ways that respects all players' best interests. If not, might I suggest they invest in some kind of first-person-shooters anonymous clinic?

Black Ops: Killing Fidel Castro

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
In the lastest GTtv exclusive Call of Duty Black Ops episode we found out that the storyline will begin in Cuba(Havana). The main purpose of this mission is to kill a High Value Target. But when Dave Anthony was asked if Fidel Castro will show up in the game, he said that he's not allowed to tell anything more.

So this raised us some questions!? Fidel Castro - HVT .... HVT - Fidel Castro!?

Death to Dictators Use a single round to bring down Castro 15 Gamer points Bronze

But we eventually got the proof. You really are going to kill the Cuban Dictator and if isn't that good enough you'll also receive 15 Gamerpoints (Xbox 360) or a Bronze Trophy (PlayStation 3) if you use a single round.

So here comes a another question: Who's gonna Quick-Scope Fidel Castro?

YouTube gaming charts: 'Black Ops' tops(Thanks to Schoey)

Topping this week's YouTube Gaming chart is a nine-second clip advertising a TV spot during the October 9 Monday Night Football game on EPSN for the upcoming November 9 Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The full trailer, clocking in at just under a minute (discounting bumpers), can been seen on YouTube.com/CallOfDuty.

Medal of Honor's official launch trailer finds itself in sixth place - the game launched on October 12 in North America and October 14 in Europe.

In amongst the other top YouTube vids are a walkthrough for the free browser game Sniper Assassin 5; news about a World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta key giveaway; and Seananners' further explores indie sensation Minecraft displaying a spooky cave made in the shape of serial Mario baddie Bowser.

Speaking of Mario, Super Mario Galaxy celebrates the three-year anniversary of its November 2007 release, and a playthrough of the unlockable "Super Luigi Galaxy" bonus game is here in the YouTube charts.

A video of two babies parodying Spanish media personality Beln Esteban sneaks in by virtue of the "gaming" tag - YouTube's all-time top 10 features two baby videos already, so maybe this one has a chance at fame.
