Steve Jobs is trying to pitch his i-Pad to the Star Wars Rebels. Lets face it, not an easy task. He’s talking the i-Pad that costs more than its competition, looks like a childs cheap toy (actually it’s quite well-built and looks classy) has a prissy apple for a logo and can’t even run flash. Actually that’s not correct, it can run flash it just doesnt want to… WTF? Oh noez, no flash. So while Luke Skywaker reminds us all it can browse the web, in fact it is the best browsing experience you’ve ever had. Way better than my laptop, way better than my smartphone.
Well not actually better than my smartphone at lets say, making phone calls or browsing the web with one hand while sipping my geek haven cafe grande early in the morning or playing flash games from newgrounds or albino black sheep. It’s also totally useless if say I wanted to crank out a quick game of Modern Warfare 2 while chilling in a Wi FI enabled restaurant waiting for a business partner.
Just for the record what is it with your mobile devices being so god damned big you need a man bag. Chewbacca doesn’t have a man bag, Han Solo doesn’t have a man Bag. Luke Sky Walker has a man bag but even he doesn’t admit to it openly.
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.
