Well, I finally got around to writing my review of Modern Warfare 2 as I have beaten it twice and spent a ton of time in multiplayer and spec. ops. All I can say is this game is awesome. It doesn't bring too much new to the table but it's still a great game and one of the best games of this year. The twists throughout the campaign are cool too.

Since I got the Hardened Edition of MW2, I was also given a code for Call of Duty Cla$$ic on XBLA.

I have been a fan of the series since Call of Duty 2 but I never once even played the original til now. This game came out in 2003 and so far, it's pretty cool. The game itself reminds me more of Medal of Honor for the Playstation than it does Call of Duty (then again, it was made by some of the same developers).

This game gives a whole different feeling than the later games, and it feels great. First of all, there is no regenerating health, just a health bar so you want to be a lot more careful not to get hit. Also, there's no grenade indicator so you also must keep a more watchful eye out this time. One cool feature I've noticed that's not in the later games in you can lean outside of cover. I wonder why the other games didn't use this.

Overall, this is WW2 FPS at its finest and has aged very well. The campaign is a lot of fun, even the car chase levels, and it's cool to see how the series started. It's too bad Gamespot doesn't allow me to add this game to my collection, give a rating or write a review yet but I'd give it somewhere between an 8.5 and a 9 so far.

I guess that's all for now, see ya later.

Hey, I know I haven't been blogging much lately but I haven't had too much new to say. Anyway, just for the fun of it, I thought I would list 20 of my favorite games ever (in no order):

The Legend of Zelda: Occarina of Time
Chrono Trigger
Halo: Combat Evolved
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Rocket Knight Adventures
Star Fox 64
Call of Duty 4
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Super Mario Bros 3
Halo 3
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Jade Cocoon 2
Half Life
Grand Theft Auto 3
Final Fantasy Tactics
Sonic the Hedgehog (the original)
Rock Band 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Metal Gear Solid 2 (haven't played too many in this series unfortunetely)
Mega Bomberman
Pokemon Blue

Once again, the order of the list could vary.

In other news, I got Modern Warfare 2 on opening day for the Xbox 360. Although this game received much hype, it's pretty damn good. I think the one thing that caught me by surprise is the Spec. Ops mode, a co-op mode with various challenges like wave defense, elimination, and many more. I didn't expect much but now I find myself playing it more than the campaign, even though it's gotten really hard over time. Speaking of which, I haven't finished the campaign yet (I like to take my time ) but it's awesome so far, although I hear it's short. The battles in each level are epic and just all around fun. The story is good too but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. The multiplayer is, of course, awesome. It's not too much different from CoD4 but it's still as fun as always.

Anyway, this has got to be one of the best games of the year, let alone the best FPS of the year. So far I'd give it somewhere between a 9-9.5.

Expect a full review soon.

Hey, it could have been a lot worse than vampires:
