Needs more Nathan Ryan. I will be taking my game suggestions from him now.

Actually, I would have to say I was indifferent. I guess I'm desensitized after viewing the internet and playing video games for years. While I would never do something like that in real life, it didn't have any mental or moral weight on me.

You do far worse things in games like GTA to civilians. I think the fact that terrorism is so relevant in today's society that it hit home for a lot of people.

Fox News says MW2 creates 8 year old terrorists :o

I almost completed the campaign when essentially everybody on my friends list wanted to play multiplayer. The game is what to be expected, a beefed up CoD4 that expands on what they "perfected" in the first game.

One thing I must say is they really did a better job on the maps this time around. In the first MW the maps were small and if they were big they often had many dead ends. The majority of maps I played last night you could essentially go 360 degrees around the whole map and the maps were on a much bigger scale.

It's one of the best first person shooters I've ever played, but not the best game I ever played. It is worth a pick up of you're into a short 4-5 hour campaign experience. If you're into online gaming on consoles, you should probably pick this game up right now or you will be playing your games alone for awhile.

The flavor only lasts for about 5 minutes but it is so delicious. You end up chewing about five or six just to keep the flavor going. Eventually your jaw hurts and you spit out the wad but still, it is great stuff.

I think people are mixing up popularity and fame. Fame is forever, popularity is only temporary.

video game forum is full of Modern Warfare 2 topics.

Got myself Demon's Souls today. I got my arse handed to me way too many times. I love it.

Yeah, I'm avoiding my thread now. I haven't even picked up the game yet and I'm sick of hearing about it. I'm sure it will be a good game though.

So...are you retarded?

I will be picking this up at around 2:30 P.M. today. It's not that I'm necessarily a big CoD fan, as much as it was an excuse to get both a new Xbox 360, two new controllers and a copy of the game.

It will most assuredly suck though.

Haha. That was pretty good. Reminded me a lot of the Jack Black video from Spike T.V.'s game awards. So the ESRB has indirectly confirmed a Call of Duty game for 2010 (sigh) and an Uncharted game for the PSP amongst other things.

It's fine to leave it plugged in but some sites suggest unplugging it from the actual power brick to save electricity and to avoid an over heating of the power brick. That really isn't a problem anymore but the choice is really up to you.

Make that wasn't*

I enjoyed it, but it was different enough from the first one for me to get it day one or anything. I will pick it up for Christmas I suppose. There are a lot of other games out there they debuted this year and I think they deserve a lot more attention and sales.

Meh, I'm not too hopeful. This has been thrown around for years the majority of bills never make it out of committee. I'm all for it though and think it would benefit the country as a whole.

I was reading that after the Walmart $100 gift card deal Xbox 360 sales rose 400%. To top that off Modern Warfare 2 sales are expected to do around 6 million across PC/360/PS3 in week one, with the vast majority of sales on the Xbox 360. To top that off, Left 4 Dead 2 and the new dashboard update come next week.

LIVE is going to crash.

Economics?

Anyway, yeah I'm going to school on Tuesday. I only have one class at 12:30 so I will be able to play the game at around 3:30 after class, going to the store to pick it up and heading back to my place.

Avatars are a shitty version of Miis and are better off on Playstation Home. Party chats are coming to PS3. Netflix is on PS3 now. Online play is free on PS3 and most times we get content for free.

Things like Netflix, Party chats, etc were all on Xbox Live first and weren't part of it at launch. Microsoft has put a huge focus on Xbox Live this generation and is their biggest strong point. If you look at Xbox Live in 2005 v.s. 2009 most big features today weren't available then. The thing with Xbox Live is that Microsoft creates services people didn't even know they wanted. The PlayStation Network is the opposite. Most of the updates revolve around things the competition has and people have been wanting for a long time. While this is fine, it does nothing to really expan online gaming for consoles. Saying things like "Oh it will come to the PlayStation soon" and "What else could they add?" are pretty ignorant and close minded statements.

I can't wait for the 10s which doom video games altogether.

Tuesday is when the embargo lifts officially, but I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing some leak in tomorrow night.

Until the next big update for the 360 in which the PSN will play catch up 3 updates later ;)

360 version same shit but for $50 online subscription.
PC version...Oh noes.

You forgot to add in the timed exclusive map packs for the 360 version there bub ;) Not to mention most people buying the game already have gold so it really isn't an extra 50.

I thought xbox live bans people who play games before release, don't they?

No. They are in no legal position to ban you if you play the game early and you legitimately bought it. However, if you downloaded a pirated version and play it online you will most likely be banned.

Unless I'm doing something wrong.

You can customize your avatar so that 343 is always there when you're avatar appears on the "My Xbox" blade or the Friend's blade.

Good to hear. Wonder if they will rate it higher or lower.

This pertains to my interests very much.

Supposedly the IGN score got leaked.

IGN Modern Warfare 2- 9.5
IGN Modern Warfare - 9.4

I have actually been a bit de-hyped over this game after a lot of leaks. I'm sure I will enjoy the game but some of the things they put into the game is just too much too soon.

Halo Reach or Rage might be able to compete as well, but I personally think they won't be quite at the same level; Rage might not even be comparable given how much of a hybrid it seems to be.

I think Halo: Reach has the potential of doing it. It may not be the most realistic one but I think it will blow people away.

I think I'm getting towards the end of Ratchet and Clank now, and I really like it. The biggest improvement is the open nature of the space gameplay; it's somewhat reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy with the spherical world. There are a few less weapons, but they all feel useful this time. In Tools of Destruction, there were a bunch of weapons that were more of a novelty. In ACiT, I've found every weapon to be useful at some point. The dialogue is still funny, the visuals are crisper than ever, and the platforming and combat are both really strong.

A lot of people have been saying it reminds them of Super Mario Galaxy. I'm glad ACiT is getting the recognition is should from reviewers and gamers because it really is a good platformer. The humor, the art style, graphics, story and just sheer fun are all great and I enjoy it more so than I have a Mario game in a long time.

The repetative waves of people in Uncharted 2. It was fun and all but for awhile it started being the same thing over and over. Between that and anytime you go to cross a bridge or a platform and it collapses or breaks it could be a bit annoying. You need obstacles in a game like that though so it is understandable. I wouldn't say it was shitty, just unenjoyable to me.
