Cosmopolitan? Really?
Misleading title. It can be put on a hot surface, and food can be placed upon it.
Also, crap article.
I agree 100%. MW2 left me feeling like my girlfriend feels after sex. "That's it? Oh well. Off to play BC2 then."
I partially agree.
I actually like reading reviews of older-than-just-released games.
Other than that, good blog post.
Dividing the article into paragraphs makes it look nicer and easier to read. Nothing wrong with the actual words, though. Good article.
Looking at these comments you would think there were only 3 Borg in existence. Nevertheless, resistance is futile and all that.
A noble endeavour, Remington, but they don't work like that. Unless the IR leds reach to the stars and back. NVGs that use light amplification, however, do work like that, and are awesome. These ones rely solely on IR leds, and are less awesome. But awesome still, because they are about 1/50th of the price of proper NVGs.
These NVGs are toys, they're not even a generation. 2nd generation NVGs cost about $7000 4 years ago, and they only have monovision, ie no depth of field. At that time the 3rd generation was already in use. Also they rely on light amplification with IR leds only as a backup for pitch black places.
With that out of the way, I'm guessing these goggles are basically the night mode of a medium priced camcorder.
Worth it? Not if you want NVGs. But as a collector's item and a cool to...
I think it looks great, but not so much because of the graphics, but because of the atmosphere and style. Must finish Clear Sky soon.
I feel I should specify that real NVGs (at least 2nd generation ones) also have IR leds, although only as an auxiliary method, for areas where there is no light.
That being said, the MW2 NVGs are indeed cheap toys. I don't think people get them because they're going to stalk around the woods with them, but rather as a collector's item, a knick knack, a gadget.
While I am slightly annoyed at this increase in price, it must be said that at least four major UK retailers are selling MW2 for £45, £5 more than normal. And the normal PC version is still only £30.
That being said, it's not the actual increase in price that annoys me, but rather this sneaking suspicion I have, that Activision are only doing this because they think they can get away with it. I have a feeling Activision is sitting there thinking "Suckers, they're in...
I disagree with this guy. They are cheap night vision goggles. Less than cheap. In the market of night vision goggles they don't even register. The amount of mischief that can be achieved is very limited. Surely someone will cause mischief, but not any more mischief than can already be achieved with common household items.
So is Game, Play.com and HMV. And the PC version is still only £30.
Salaries in the UK are a bit higher than the ones in the US though. It's not just a case of UK being more expensive than the US. Take into account the cost of living, average salaries, and it would be pretty similar I would think.
Pricey. Also, I want a PC version of the Prestige Edition, but ho hum.
I just found a typo. I do apologise, that shouldn't happen.
Third to last line, 'known' should say 'knock'.
First line '(...)one of those games THAT manages(...)'.
I think that's all.
I'm all for special editions, if it brings with it something I like. A CoD action figure would be off the hook. I love dolls, I mean action figures. Also, books are good, like art books.
That said, the CoD4 Collector's Edition was rather lame. An extra DVD and a boring poster. Not great, but at least it wasn't priced like the GTA4 collector's edition, which was filled with awesome.
I think it would be exciting if AC3 was set in Victorian England. It would be all Jack the Ripper, but without the bowel assisted strangulation. Other than that and the early 1900s (Russian revolution and all that) I can't really think of any interesting time periods without entering modern times. I suppose they could set it shortly after AC1, but in another location. Anyway, I'm excited to find out what they have planned.
That article isn't worth the electrons it's made of. So short, so full of errors, so pointless.
Book looks nice though, but pointless.
