Call of Duty: Complaints

Call of Duty has been great over the years but they have one main problem right now. That problem is Activision.  Activision basically fired all of Infinity Ward because they refused to pay them for Modern Warfare 2 until Modern Warfare 3 came out.  So they broke off into DangerClose and are making MW3.  So now, Activision is making games once a year so that they can have more games coming out.  This is bad.  Not only will they have customers lose interest, but their games will become more and more TERRIBLE! If you look at Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, that game took multiple years to make and look how it turned out to be. It was great! So the main problem here is Activision.  DangerClose is going to making an EPIC Modern Warfare 3, and Treyarch is only good for Zombies.  Personally, and I want some opinions on this one, I think Treyarch should make a game with only Zombies.  Like, have as extras all the old maps from CoD5: WaW and CoD7: Black Ops and put those in.  But also make a few more maps that have a whole storyline to them. Not a game like Left 4 Dead, but the same kind of Zombies that have been made, but make all the maps connect in a storyline.  I would buy actually pre-order that.  BUT, only if they take time on it and not only 1 year.  What do you guys think? Would you buy that game?  One random question: What would you name that game? (Not just "Zombies")

Portal 2

Portal 2 was another great game that came after the very popular Portal 1. Unlike the first one, Portal 2 did not focus as much on the puzzles but they focused more on the storylines. Storylines isn't a bad thing but when they focus that much on it, it can get annoying. The storylines was great, but the puzzles were very "lacking". The puzzles were basically hidden in the new multiplayer option. Where you and a friend can play and enjoy what the puzzles should have been in singleplayer. Overall, Portal 2 is still an EXCELLENT game. I recommend this one for everyone.

Portal 1

Portal 1 was an excellent game where you could complete puzzles with portals.  There was definitely nothing wrong with the game and it was amazing. You play as the character Chell. You are in a testing chamber where you are attempting get to the desired "cake" with your best friend, the companion cube. Risking your life all for the entertainment of GLaDOS. Very good game for both PC and available in the Orange Box for XBox 360. I very much recommend it for all ages!

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption is a fun game to play when you're bored and have nothing better to do.  I beat it fairly easily and fast and I enjoyed it so I bought the expansion "Undead Nightmare".  This was much harder and a lot more fun.  Zombies is always a good gametype in any game. Haha.  I loved the zombie horses.  I watched the game review on Zero Punctuation (HILARIOUS: Zero Punctuation Videos) and Yahtzee complainted about your horse always getting stuck in a wall. Well that never seemed to happen to me, but it always happened to AI.  Also, you do have to watch your horse's arse bobble up and down for at least half the game.  The fast travel station just sucks.  Though, I still enjoyed the storyline a lot.  I recommend this game to anyone.

Xbox 360 Console

Those of you out there with an Xbox 360 console, keep rocking.  I love the 360.  I've played Playstation 3 as well, I don't have anything against it, in fact I think it's pretty sweet, but once you get used to an XBox controller, it's tough to switch.  I recently modded my disc drive to play burned games and I gotta say, burning games isn't THAT worth it.  I mean, yes, you save like $50 on games, but it takes at least 24 hours to download/burn the game to a 8.5GB disc.  And I have a pretty good computer too.  But $50 is a good deal of money to save.  So far I think I've downloaded 5 games.  It's cool, but it also slows down the hardware of the XBox.  Sometimes when I don't wanna deal with slow loading, I just plug in my other Elite and play on that.  I recommend modding your disc drive if you wanna save money.  Look on Craigslist for people who mod them.  A lot of them do it for around $20.  Look into it!

Halo 1 for PC

Halo 1 for PC was sweet and I got it right when it came out.  I never had an original XBox so I was couldn't play it so I waiting until the PC version came out.  It was an excellent game and it even had multiplayer online which was sweet.  Then I came across Halo Custom Edition that was downloadable for free.  Basically, you could make your own maps (NOT like forge) but you could even take maps from Call of Duty or soemthing and make it into a map for Custom Edition.  You could put in CoD guns, guns or vehicles from any other game.  It was pretty sweet! Now I'm pumped for the Halo 1 Remake that is coming out soon! Can't wait! In Halo: Reach, if you had Halo 1 for PC, you could even get a nameplate from it.  I proudly wear that! Haha. (Shown Below)

A switch to the PC

I'm occasionally talk about some PC games, not too many, but a few.  This time, I'm talking about Minecraft.  I've been playing Minecraft for about 2 months maybe and I gotta say, it's still hella fun!  You get to build whatever you want and it looks cool! Buildings, Pixel art, Whatever!  It's very fun if you are wanting to become an engineer.  You get to plan and build stuff!  I recommend getting it. http://www.minecraft.net . It's a lot of fun!
