  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Campaign done

  I just wrapped up the single player campaign for MW2. What a turd. Infinity Ward managed to completely surprise me by pulling off the impossible and making a single player campaign that was actually worse that the mess from COD4. Everything in this new chapter of Modern Warefare is the exact same, only turned down a notch on the quality level. How you can turn something down past 0 is truly a mystery.

  The characters are forgettable. The amount of "batitude" is again through the roof. The story is dull beyond belief. The dialog is phoned in and impossible to understand at certain points. The plot if a massive cliche when it makes sense, and when it doesn't it can't remember what happend moments before so it just tosses out another "BIG MOMENT!!". All of the "intense" scenes are actually extremely boring and the only emotional response that can come from them is a whole lot of eye rolling. I've seen Stalone demonstrate more compelling action sequences, and his movies are mostly garbage.

  I'm still completely stunned as to why most people can't see these turds for what they actually are.

  Going to play some more MP before tossing up a review. Sadly the review will probably just be a cut and paste job from the one I wrote for COD4 since this is basically the exact same game. I'll toss in comments about all the new stuff they managed to screw up too, but mostly it's just as bad if not worse.

  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Day 1 impressions

  Jeez it's the same damn game as COD4. They fixed NOTHING. The netcode still sucks beyond belief causing an unbearable 1/2 second lag for motion, but gunfire is still instant. I can't believe how long this has been overlooked. It blows my mind that no one seems to give a crap that this game is so inferior. Blinded by the pretty colors I guess. The review I wrote for COD4 could literally by copied and pasted for this game without any changes and it would be 100% accurate. Maybe a ding on the final score down to 5.0 is appropriate since the game is basically nothing more than a colorful new coat of paint. Releasing a game at retail for full price when it could have been patched in to the old game is a joke.

  Probably the last COD game I ever buy. Infinity Ward is in "milk the cash cow" territory and won't be leaving any time soon.

  At least I got some cool nightvision goggles to walk around my house with.

  Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review - 9.5

  I blitzed my way right through Uncharted 2: Among Thieves this weekend. I've tossed up a review and I have to say this game is awesome. It's lived up to the high expectations set by the first game, and surpassed them. If you have a PS3 and don't have this game then you should just give up on being a gamer because you are doing it all wrong.

  Now, I realize that score is a match for what Gamespot already handed out, but I can honestly say it is completely 100% accurate. The game has a few faults, but they are extremely minor and bring the game down just a sneeze. Specifically, the final "boss" fight of the game is a huge bummer. Beyond that, just about everything is top notch gaming at it's best.
