I’ve been strung out waiting for this game since they first announced Infinity Ward was making it. I am a huge fan of COD4 with over 950 hours logged for multi player. I have had a good crank at both Campaign and multiplayer [on MW2] and I will be mostly commenting on the multi player aspect.  Read the rest of this entry »

Long before there was Call of Duty, Medal of Honor was the preeminent World War II first-person shooter series. Over the years, it’s fallen by the wayside, and it’s been over two years since the last game in the series was released. During an EA investor call today, Frank Gibeau, president of the EA Games label, mentioned a “revitalization” of the Medal of Honor series that would soon be shown, reports G4tv.com. He didn’t go into any details of exactly what that revitalization would include or when we’ll hear more (though G4 infers that we’ll hear about it in 2010), except that it’s similar to what the Need for Speed series went through.

Ghostbuters the game takes you back in time to 1991, two years after the events of the second Ghostbusters film. It’s time to start the next chapter in the world of paranormal investigations and eliminations, and first thing to do is to expand the team. This is where you come in, joining the Ghostbusters team as an experimental weapons technician – a job so risky that the other team members don’t even want to give you a nickname – lest they grow attached to the rookie and you die! The action kicks in right off the bat when a strange wave of ghostly energy emanates from the museum which is hosting a Gozer exhibit and spreads throughout New York City.

After First getting my hands on some multiplayer, I moved on to the campaign.

First impressions so far are that the graphics are amazing! The weapons are also amazing… the first few levels are amazing… and yes the game is amazing! The gameplay is done very well, it is easy to follow and I never once found my self lost or confused.

Quite early in the game you came across “The Scene” which was not to bad… although the blood and the evil that was shown was intense… and on that note, this is defiantly a R18 game, I strongly recommend that no one under 18 plays that level.

After that, things start to get back on track, with a lot of cliff hangers and other surprises.

There a lot of fighting in the US, and it does start early.

This is defiantly a great game, and I have no doubt it will do as well if not better then COD4,

But keep an eye out, something tells me this will not be the last Modern Warfare…

When Activision announced their IWNet matchmaking service will replace dedicated servers for the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, it predictably angered a lot of PC gamers. But apparently when you’re dealing with what’s already been anointed as the likely-to-be best-selling game of the year, angering some of your customers isn’t too much to worry about.  Read the rest of this entry »
