So It’s not a big surprise to people that know me when I bitch about Halo. The rave, the lunacy, the frat boy society that pervades the Halo Franchise all in all simply takes a less than absolute fps game experience and defecates on it. Let’s just get it all out in the air. Halo is a console fps and console fps’ are still 3 years behind PC fps games. That is of course until Activision’s COD4.
Those of you who have played COD 4 will have undoubtedly appreciated in both console and PC form. Being that PC is my preferred gaming media device I will say COD4 on PC was better than COD 4 on Console however the experience is legitimately arguable. COD 4 brought real fps gaming to the Console. None of this uber jump and sniper pistols, no Zombies’ or Alien’s or Alien Zombies in fact not even forgetull pathing ai’s. COD 4 was plain and simple a tactical modern combat game across all consoles. ( It could be argued that COD 2 and COD 3 were pc/console equivalents. They weren’t!)
COD6 is that and more.
I’ve just finished the Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2 single player campaign on normal and I can only describe the experience as the single most intense and absorbing piece of entertainment media I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. ** please note full article may have spoilers. Though if you have been reading the news or have any interest in the game you’ll know what I’m talking about already.

Well Mass Effect 2 is coming out halfway through next month, so I thought I’d give you as thorough a review as possible so you’ll consider preordering it in time. Now I’m a Mass Effect fan, played it extensively on XBox 360, and PC. Yes, there were issues with the first game, but personally I believed those issues to be worth putting up with for a new type of RPG. It was really the first decent Sci-Fi third person RPG/FPS game ever made, and with games that revolutionise both the nature of those two genre’s, usually you’ll either find a very awesome game. Or you’ll find a game that could have been awesome but is let down by some issues with execution. ME was sadly in the second category. But Mass Effect 2 looks to be of the first category, and I’ll go into some detail why.
So the missus(Wife/Girlfriend for the un-Australian.) recently bought me Assassin’s Creed II (I know I know, I was all like WTF ORSM). Initially I wasn’t incredibly impressed. The game play followed very closely to the original (not in itself a bad thing) and I had started to think perhaps it was simply the same game with a different character and new settings. To some extent this is true however after a few hours of intensely enjoyable game play I had found the new an improved Price of Persia Rip Off that we had all come to love.
