Activision, Infinity Ward, Game and Xbox Live are running an event in just about a week called Game for Good. During  the weekend of the 5th & 6th of December if over 600,000 UK users log on to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, a donation will be made to War Child of £150,000, with £25,000 donated for every 100,000 users after that, up to a maximum of £250,000

GAME will also be selling War Child wrist bands instore, and Xbox Live Gold Membership will be free on that weekend, to ensure that as many people as possible are able to play the game online.

 For more information about the initiative, about War Child, or to get a Twibbon to show your support, a Facebook fans page has been set up at www.facebook.com/GameforGood

This is a major chance to do something good and not even break a sweat doing it. Drop my GAME to get a wrist band or load up the game on the weekend and play even a little bit to help out. It’s for a fantastic cause and we as gamers need to realize the serious side of war.

War Child International is a network of independent organisations, working across the world to help children affected by war.

War Child was founded upon a fundamental goal: to advance the cause of peace through investing hope in the lives of children caught up in the horrors of war.

War Child works in many different conflict areas around the world, helping hundreds of thousands of children every year.
