Modern Warfare 2

Wow.  Infinity Ward nailed it with this one.  I just recently played through and beat the game on the Hardened setting.  I’ll give Veteran a shot after I complete all of the Special Ops side missions.  This is truly a great game.  The story line picks up where Modern Warfare left off and leaves you hangin’ for the third installment.  The difficulty of the game is great.  Hardened is just hard enough to be fun but not too easy.  Veteran is obviously for the more experienced players but not completely impossible.  The Special Ops missions are really fun but are definitely more difficult than the actual game itself.  Multiplayer is obviously great and online play is even better than the first.  The only problem I have is that you cannot play online with other people on a local xbox.  If you want your friends to enjoy MW2 you can only play versus or Special Ops, no online with guests.  MW2 also has quite the M. Night Shyamalan twist within the story line.  I would highly recommend purchasing or at least renting Modern Warfare 2.  This is an excellent game.

So Assassin’s Creed 2 came out yesterday and while I haven’t actually gotten to play it yet, I have seen it in all of it’s glory.  It seems that Ubisoft has improved on every aspect of the game.  It’s visually stunning and seems to be quite lengthy, my friend has been playing for roughly 6 hours and only completed one of the ten or so chapters, so it seems to be well worth going out and spending the 60 big ones for this game.  After I get some play time with Assassin’s Creed 2 I’ll post a more informative review.

This games looks sick! Completely new game from the first. Gameplay looks incredible.
