Oh, and the French Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution, please. Both eras are fascinating and ripe for the picking.

I honestly didn't care that the game ended on a cliffhanger, and I don't mind yearly releases if the games that are put out are not half-a$$ed and are high quality. There's a big difference between AC's yearly releases and CoD's yearly releases.

@mikezer0 It didn't effect sales. It affected sales.

Game of the Year right here.

I can't wait for this fascination with shooters to die down and be replaced with something more palatable. I am really excited for Assassin's Creed 3 though.

@speedfreak48t5p Well duh, it's casual gaming. Hardcore gamers like yourself who like Fallout will not find them appealing, and I agree with you.

Love the Dirty Harry reference.

It'll take awhile for the blight that is the Transformers movies to be erased from memory. ;) Still, good Transformer games should help.

Call of Duty will eventually get to the point (if it hasn't already) where it only attracts the same crowd that plays Angry Birds. Gamers that are actually gamers will play something more substantial. Call of Duty is to video games as Transformers is to movies. The people who just want explosions and dumb stuff love it, but the people who know anything about a good video game/movie know it's bad.

I was pretty hyped up for this game, as I never have owned an XBOX and I'm thinking about getting one this fall, but after I've seen some gameplay, I was pretty underwhelmed, at least from the multiplayer aspect. Really, they had to incorporate kill streaks?
