I certainly wasn’t among those fighting to get in to buy games for $30 this past Black Friday
Another Thanksgiving has passed, and from then through now we saw a ton of gaming deals. It’s through these past few weeks that I recognized another significant “leveling down” in my gaming life. While it may not seem like it based on how much I’ve been playing Modern Warfare 3, please allow me to explain! haha
Is Call of Duty Elite telling me I should just stick with just the L118A and P90?
It’s been 3 days now since I last got to play Modern Warfare 3, and I have to admit that it’s been a little rough. I thought it was a better idea to not bring my 360 with me when I flew with my wife to my inlaws’ house to spend Thanksgiving week, but now I’m not so sure. I’m practically counting down the days until I can get back and play, but luckily, outside of being able to read the official Modern Warfare 3 guide at Target when we go out shopping, I have access to Call of Duty Elite in the evening. Seeing as this is all I have for my Modern Warfare 3 entertainment in this week away from my 360, I figured I’d share my impressions on it for those of you wondering what it’s all about.
I used to collect these, but now I collect video games
When I was a kid, I used to enjoy collecting baseball cards. I don’t know what it is about collecting, but it is fun to have a collection of things you enjoy. Even though I’ve been leveling down, I keep buying more and more games! Are video games becoming my new baseball cards? Is that a bad thing?
Ratchet has some new toys to play with 2009′s Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Amidst the flurry of major release titles this Fall and Holiday season, I’ve still been working on my backlog and the most recent backlog game I’ve beaten is Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time for the PS3. I wasn’t a huge fan of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction since I felt like it was too similar to the other titles, but I think that A Crack in Time does bring some interesting new gameplay elements to the series and I found myself enjoying it more (maybe even more than Batman: Arkham City!). Hit the jump for my “retro” review on this 2009 title…
espion4ge? Let’s do this.
I left work during lunch, grabbed a slice of pizza, and then picked up Modern Warfare 3. Unfortunately, I had to stay late at work for an emergency, but as soon as I got home, I scarfed down dinner, quickly listened to Mrs. cmfl3x’s rundown of her day, pet my dog for 1 minute and BOOTED UP! Two hours and many deaths later, I finished my first taste of Modern Warfare 3: and it was good. Tiny spoiler warning.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launch in Australia
I still remember years ago how I first tried out the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, and was completely blown away. I think I even ran around getting beta invites for friends because I thought it was so awesome. Modern Warfare 2, again, blew me away and I definitely had some good times with those. Now Modern Warfare 3 is here today, and I’m pumped once again. World at War and Black Ops? Forget it – Modern Warfare is where it’s at. Surprisingly, there’s a lot of things that have changed for Modern Warfare 3, so I compiled some information and wrote something up so those of you that are going to be getting into Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer can start thinking about how you want to best get into it.
Nathan Drake is back
Longtime readers of this blog probably know by now that my plans get screwed up a lot. A LOT. I had planned to play Uncharted 3 for two days after release on Tuesday, but like a genius, I left it at work. So, unfortunately, I’ve only played through six chapters of the game – hit the jump for my impressions so far.
In Batman: Arkham City, Batman can now dive from the tops of buildings onto thugs below
I was able to hunker down and beat Batman: Arkham City this past weekend, and for those wondering – it really is about an eight hour game if you avoid the sidequests. Now that I’ve gone through the primary storyline, here’s my abbreviated, yet “debatable” review.
