As a shooter and a soldier I can tell you that wiggling your thumbs does NOT develop marksmanship or familiarity with operating real weapons at all.
It can't possibly be worse than shooting up civilians at an airport.
I just had a feeling that RAGE was getting a little too much hype. From watching the countless videos and reading previews, I got the impression that, other than the well-done graphics, animations, and shooting mechanics, there was nothing to set RAGE apart from your generic FPS. But for some reason, most people couldn't get over the awesome graphics or realistic animations. Turns out it really is just another FPS that's well polished but offers nothing new to the genre, so it should ...
Not nearly good enough if you got your credit card stolen.
No it can't. You've been recycling the same goddamn engine since Call of Duty 4.
Since when was a sequel adding a new enemy type a big deal?
More like they're afraid of losing sales to friends and family of soldiers killed by the Taliban. In case you haven't noticed, the war in Afghanistan is ongoing, and its effects are very real. I go to college at a school where every once in a while, we hear an announcement that a graduate from a couple years ago was killed in action in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. EA isn't trying to pull a MW2 and stir up as much controversy as it can to impress little kids. They're actua...
Ok cool.

Guys, let's not promote "stealing exclusives" any more than it has been already........because we all know the second it's legitimized, Microsoft is going to be all over it.
Wonderful. CoD is almost a decade late with helicopters and they STILL don't have the programming to actually let us fly it for real.
Because Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and that sketchy expansion totally did.
The Halo series is a lot of things, but I'd hardly call it innovative or boundary-breaking. The gameplay hasn't changed since Halo 1 almost 9 years ago. The graphics improved each time, but they were always just "good enough" and never "holy crap" good like Killzone 2 was. The one thing Halo did superbly was create a functional and organized online matchmaking system, which is ...
A good bit of controversy always makes CoD games seem more "grown-up" than they really are.
How many times has Al-Qaeda attacked your state since the U.S. entered Afghanistan? None? That's because they're BUSY duking it out with our troops sent over there to keep them from attacking our friggin neighborhoods. It's not because they're not a threat. I'd show some appreciation for the American lives being lost there for your benefit, even though I know it's "cool" now for teenagers to trash-talk the military in an effort to "rebel against society....
Yes, I've watched all of it. The violence certainly isn't a turn-on, but there are some things you just have to accept and tolerate for the benefit of a greater cause. Nobody wants to die a violent death, but why do people across the world still join the military? Because someone has to. Given the amount of enemies we've accrued over the years, our country wouldn't last the decade without a powerful military to safeguard it. Also, there's the principle of sacrifice and put...
I've always loved the Brothers in Arms series, and I'm going to West Point next year. Coincidence? Probably. It'd be ridiculous to say videogames themselves inspire kids to join the military, but they can contribute to it. Movies like Band of Brothers probably do more than any videogame, however. At least for me, watching them really helped me understand and appreciate what the military does and goes through and why.
Some loser just wanted hits. 600mb is not a space ransom, no matter how you spin it.
What's sad is people are actually going "whew! good thing I bought the 80gb ps3!"
Is 600mb even worth mentioning when games like GTA have been taking up 3-5GB each?
Some jackass clearly wanted a news submission to his name.
Call of Duty is only badass if you're 10.
That said, Nazi Zombies almost single-handedly redeemed World at War. It's the one reason I haven't traded it in yet. Adding it to their next CoD game would be a smart move for Activision if they want "sh1tty game" insurance.
All of these games are old news. If this is how timely and cognizant parents are these days, these kids are fucked.
