Call of Duty 4 Complete

I finally finished Call of Duty 4 this weekend and I have to say it is well worth it if you are a FPS fan. I bought mine used ($40) and just started the multiplayer mode (Excellent). I am now level 11 (SGT) and love the unique challenges (I finished the MP5 challenge last night).

I would give this game a 9.5/10, I just wish you could mute the headset chumps easier (they are REALLY annoying).

On another note I received the following new games too:

I have been waiting for this one for a long time, I finally bought it (BGDA2) for a birthday present (family member) and it is just like the first one but better, both are well worth it ($50).

I am a vette fan so I had to try this one (at $1 I could not lose). So far I like being abe to race any generation vette (C1 - C5). Not a perfect 10, but a 6 or 7 perhaps.

I ordered this since I tried the PS3 version (next in series) and this one is fun but certainly a hack and slash on the gory side)

I really liked this series and tried the newest one (Eternal Night) but did not like it. This is more true to the series and is more enjoyable overall.

I ewnjoy the NFS games, and played the demo for pro street, so I thought hey why not $20 for all three. So far MW is ok (the cheesy story is a bit much though, NFSU is good but the underground mode does not work on my disc (freezes) and I have not received NFSU2.

A good addition to any PS2 collector for shooter games (tactical). I am half way through SOCOM 1 and it is pretty intense no checkpoints!!!!

I only played one level on VEGAS but it was a steal ($20), GR was only $10

TOCA 3 Progress

25% complete so far. I have done 50% of the world tour and 20% of the career mode, but why are so many races repeated? This game is longer than it needs to be, but not terribly difficult. Finishing this one 100% will be tough though so maybe I can do it before Christmas!

Between finishing this and GT5P I need to stay busy before the relase of GT5 (2009).

TT Complete

I finally finished TT this evening. I thought I was complete, then another race series was unlocked, so I finished them up.

Overall it was a good game, probably the only motorcycle race game I will play. I tried it since PD made it and they are the owner of the GT series.

The license tests were easy to pass but very hard to get gold (I will probably not go back and try these)

The challenge mode to win bikes was cool, and I like winning a bike after each race

I thought the game was of medium length (time wise) since I did not finish it in a weekend, but it did not last past two months either. I would give this game an 8/10. Fans of PD wil love the familiar feel, motor heads will like the tinkering ability (not overdone either). No review this time, it is an old game and has quite a few.

Back to TOCA 3 and FF12 for now.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Started

I have been traveling up and down the coast of the US for the past week (San Clemente, CA to Tacoma, WA). As a result I have been using my GBA SP. I found an old game laying around and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

It is Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Although the story is a bit shallow, fans will be enticed along. I have logged about 8 hours so far and finally was challenged with level 3F boss fight (Hades). Quite annoying dude I must say. I had to level up three times and then resigned to actually learning the card system and re-shuffled my deck. Turns out fire actually helps hades (who knew?)

So far it is a 7/10, great for a old mobile game and Ilove the commonality with the KH series. The dialog is a bit cumbersome (especially on re-plays), card system is a bit annoying at times to (when you run out), but it does grow on you.

GRAW 2 Complete

I stumbled across this game by accident and was hooked. I tried it on the PSN games section and bought it the next week. I have played it nonstop this weekend and loved everything about it. I found no major flaws, and it offers stunning sound, graphics, and gameplay.

The details in the game set it apart from previous generation shooters.

70 retries, and a final score of 108472 (79 head shots)

Check out my review here
