Modern Warfare 2

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Campiagn, Online Multiplayer, Simple Controls
Disadvantages: Complicated Multiplayer maps

...The wait is finally over and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 has finally arrived. I was eagerly anticipating its release, so much so that I pre-ordered it the first day that it was available to do so. The original Modern Warfare and World at War are probably my 2 favourite games of all time, so would one of the most hyped up games of all time, live up to expectations ? ~~~ First Impressions ~~~ Right from the beginning I was impressed. The adverts before the actual game are again skippable, which means you're ready to start shooting in seconds. The first menu lets you go into whichever game mode you want and all in all the game looked excellent after the first minute or so. ~~~ Story ~~~ The game takes place 5 years after the original Modern Warfare. Despite your best attempts back then the Russians have...

Modern Warfare 2 - Fun but not Fantastic

Advantages: intriguing gameplay, flawless sound/graphics, rolling storyline
Disadvantages: anti-climax, little repetitive, nothing really new to catch onto

...and they carefully consider the plotlines and story play of the game. They keep the goals in the game realistic, the storylines believable and the gameplay fun. What more is -really- expected of a game? In terms of the graphics people praised, valued and held high the quality of Modern Warfare and regarded it as plausibly the best there has yet been so when announced an attempt to tweak this one step further gamers everywhere cringed to think how this would work. And yet it has. No glitches, second freezes or frame drops just a heavely rolling game play.To add a note to the praise in this the business of each section, the going ons, the attentions to detail (keeping in mind the aweing build up/layers to create highly effective 3d effects) and yet the game does not stutter or falter. As far as I could tell if you don't want shot out...

==Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay==

Advantages: Compared to the first modern warfare they have added driving in the story and its more detailed.
Disadvantages: To be honest, besides a few environmental graphics, it looks to be the shooter of the decade.

...Call of Duty Modern warfare 2 looks amazing if you?re a halo freak you will fall in love with this first person shooter. It's very detailed. They even switched the map to the screen on your gun unlike any game I have seen before. As far as if you just want to buy the game, and not go online to play, the story line features are so much better. You can even drive on this epic 1st person shooter. The disadvantages to this game as far as I can see are only a few visual slumps like every once in awhile a car will not look as realistic but everything else is wonderful. If you?re looking for a gift for a gamer or just want to try an epic 1st person shooter then this is the game for you....

Modern Warfare 2 The Truth

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: may think that campaigns a little short but perfect for me

... Modern Warfare 2 Introduction Oh my god, modern warfare 2 is out and I?ve got it. With over 7 million copies sold world wide, on released date, modern warfare has no shortage of people to play with. Modern warfare 2 is the sequel to most probably the best shooter of all time (until this one) and this one expands and improves in almost everyway. There has been a lot of controversy about certain content which personally I don?t see that much of a problem with but if you don?t want to see it you can block that section out so what?s the biggy. Modern warfare 2 contains a brilliant campaign which although some reviewers such as ign say is to short i think it is perfect as it makes a good story, ends it very well and if it was to long I wouldn?t get the extra hours on multiplayer, Multiplayer has been further improved as I will...

Advantages: Addictive game play,Graphics are brilliant,Multiplayer is very good,Extra special ops missions
Disadvantages: Campaign is very short,The story line is hard to follow

... Introduction Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the original Modern Warfare game. It has been one of the most hyped games of the year 2009; it lives up to the hype in my opinion. Pros and Cons Pros Addictive game play Graphics are brilliant It uses a brand new engine called IW 4.0 Lots of variations in game play such as climbing up a snowy mountain and riding on snow mobiles. Hundreds of weapons to choose and use Multiplayer is very good Extra special ops missions Cons Campaign is very short The story line is hard to follow In certain game types in online multiplayer on the Xbox version IW disabled the party chat feature (This may be put back in) My opinion Campaign and Story line Modern Warfare 2?s storyline has received a lot of controversy because of the in game level...

Call of Duty modern warfare 2 Worth it???

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, very good onine multiplayer, nice features added which orignal did not have.
Disadvantages: quite a complex storyline

...The most eagerly anticipated game of the year, possibly even the decade. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is a first person shooter available on the most popular games consoles. Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. the game is rated 18 and for good reason. Many scenes throughout the campaign mode of the game I personaly found quite disturbing, however this would not put me off buying the game. one level in particular where you pose as a terrorist, and with your gang walk around an Airport shooting civillians. you do however get the choice to skip this level when you load up the game. I would not recomend that you buy this game for your child, or anyone under the 18 year age recommendation. Despite the few disturbing levels you cannot deny the incredible graphics and gameplay that Activision have managed to create in the amzaing game...

COD: Modern Warfare 2, Could it get ANY better! Seriously!!

Advantages: Epic single player, Amazing Multiplayer and has great Replay Value
Disadvantages: You may not leave your room for a few weeks, Special Ops not all that

...Where to Begin?? The sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The game follows on from the first and I've got to be honest with you, I LOVE THIS GAME! I'm more of a multiplayer kind of guy racking up over 10 days of online play on the first but I resisted all of my temptations and played the single player, now the best campaigns i've played range from Halo 3 to Gears of War 2, but top of my list now Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The story line can only be described as EPIC! Once i started i found it hard to stop and after completing it i was craving for more. If they made it into a film it would be an all time great. A huge variety of missions that is sure to entertain any gamer. Once i completed it on regular, i went back and done it on veteran. Now if you don't have Xbox live, GET IT!! You are seriously missing out if you...

Mammoth Book of 20th Century Science Fiction

Advantages: Some real gems
Disadvantages: Some dross

...The book, The Mammoth Book of 20th Century Science Fiction is edited by David G. Hartwell. It boasts on the front cover: that it is: "The biggest and best science Fiction Anthology Ever Published". And there, as they say, is the rub. Is it? Although I acknowledge that there are a great many good science fiction stories in this anthology, I would have to argue against it being the best. And as for the biggest? Well, Asimov's Before the Golden Age (volumes 1 to 4) is a worthy contender for this title, I would have thought. And the best? It cannot be. Why? Because as Hartwell states in the introduction: "I would like to acknowledge the significant presence of John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke and all the other science fiction writers who are not reprinted in this book." Therefore the correct...

Review of Mammoth book of 20th Century Science Fiction Volume Two

Fantasy/Science Fiction Books

Advantages: Low Priced, Variety of Authors in that Genre
Disadvantages: Book Commitment, Editors Choice, Poor Delivery, Low Customer Service

...The Fantasy & Science Fiction Book Club (FSF) is an online and catalogue based book club, offering readers the chance to purchase Fantasy and Science Fiction books, at great savings against the recommended retail price (RRP). *Introductory Offer from FSF* I originally joined FSF in June 03, on the recommendation of a friend, and have purchased many books from the FSF website. I rarely use the catalogue to order from as I find it time consuming, and like to receive a confirmation of my order via the online ordering section. I was actually enticed, like so many before me, by the offer off: ?Any 5 Books from just 50p each!? Whereby the customer is asked to choose from a pre-selected range of books 5 Titles that they would like. Each book is priced at a minimum of 50p, with several of the more popular (or multi...

Review of Fantasy & SF Book Club

Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...This time during the month of Beatlemania, instead of just writing about the bands albums, films and death theories, I wanted to write about some of the ways in which Liverpool still celebrate the lives of their favourite sons (beside the football players!). Although Ringo made a few disparaging comments towards his hometown a year or two ago, the phrase ?everyone has to start somewhere? springs to mind and ? although I may be a little bias ? I would have to say that Liverpool is very much the land of opportunity compared to where I live! Right at the heart of the city is Albert Dock, a place now surrounded by various shops, museums and even a hotel with the Echo Arena mere feet away. When I was very little, perhaps six, I remember Mummy and Daddy, as they were affectionately called back then, taking my Brother and I right near...
