Probably the most anticipated game of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has finally been released and I grabbed it first day. This game has what you would expect from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and expands on almost every aspect. The graphics and audio are absolutely amazing and will leave you feeling like you are in the middle of a big war. The game itself is split into 3 categories: Special Ops, Campaign, and Multiplayer. The Campaign has 18 missions and averages around 12 hours to complete which takes place 5 years after Modern Warfare. Special Ops is the Co Op mode where you and 1 friend can play through many different scenarios obtaining a max of 69 stars. Lastly, multiplayer is what you know and probably play the majority of. This time around they have added new weapons, perks, challenges, and basically anything that you can think of to make it a great experience all around. This time around, in order to prestige you must be a level 70…that is a lot of levels. Overall though, Modern Warfare 2 brings what you love in the Call of Duty series, expands upon it, and a game that you will not be able to drop for hours or days on end.

Grand Theft Auto IV returns with some brand new episodic content, the 2nd episode to be precise, and it is The Ballad of Gay Tony. This brings what you expect from GTA 4 and even more. The Lost and Damned was a great expansion to the series and even though it was 20 dollars, I believe you got your moneys worth. Well here we are with Ballad of Gay Tony and it is also 20 dollars. The first thing will be that it best for you if you are a story person to beat the actual game first and Lost and Damned before downloading the DLC, but if you don’t care then get it. The game has 26 main missions that will take you roughly 11 gameplay hours to complete.
You play as the business partner of Tony’s named Luis Lopez, your new protagonist. This game has a very lengthy storyline with loads of varied missions that never get old. There are new weapons, vehicles, music, games, and the ability to now replay the missions once you beat the game. You can now go golfing or if you are more adventurous, sky diving. This is definitely worth the 20 dollars and has a lot more content than some fully priced games. However, the graphics are starting to show its age and although they added some new multiplayer aspects, there isn’t much really new on that side. Overall though, this is what you have come to expect from the GTA series and I have to say that I still stick with the fact that all games should have DLC like this.

I wasn’t really interested in World of Goo and I heard some things but no real interest playing it. Then that deal came along and I decided to buy and see what it was like. This game is a very fun puzzle game and I think it is very innovative. The game’s design is brilliant with tons of gameplay depth and varied levels with different types of goo sporting a wide range of objectives. There is also a quirky sense of humor that is nice to see in the game and a great soundtrack. The visuals have a cartoon feel and the controls are very solid. Overall I have had fun playing this game and I have not noticed any problems in it’s formula at all. If you are looking for a new puzzle game for the PC or for the Wii, check this out.

Mario and the gang try their luck at baseball in this new Wii game. The game is how you would expect a baseball game to run with a few Mario twists thrown in. The multiplayer in this game is fun, full of action, and contains the whole cast of Mario’s gang. This game also has a kid friendly adventure mode. However, the game is very small on the challenge scale with a very bad camera angle. The post game stats seem to be nonsense and there is no really good alternative to motion controls. Overall, if you liked the soccer game or you like baseball or Mario, I would try before you buy.

The Conduit was predicted to be one of the best FPS games that was released on the Wii to date. This game did have great controls and some nice visuals but I believe it was not the best one that the Wii has to offer. The levels in the game are monotonous with a generic art story and design. The difficulty in the game is very uneven and invisible bombs are always frustrating. Lastly, no one likes respawning enemies. Overall though, if you are looking for a new FPS, you can try this one, but I wouldn’t recommend a buy in my opinion.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is out and I finally got my hands on it. This game brings back the basic mechanics of the FEAR series and expands on a few things. Slow motion shootouts are always good fun and the graphics / audio are very well done. There is also some new cool spooky imagery as well as some new mech gameplay. However, the story offers little mystery or suspense with cliched random scares and level design. Lastly, the multiplayer is drab and disappointing. Overall though, if you enjoyed the first game, you should enjoy the second and it still has the same scary gameplay that you can expect to jump out of your seat.

Red Faction has returned in this newly long awaited game for the 360, PS3, and PC. If you don’t know the story of Red Faction, the deal is this; destroy everything. The game has completely destructible environments and a long challenging single player that you will come to enjoy. It also has excellent multiplayer modes that look great and sound amazing. However, the story of the game is weak and the game can be repetitive at times. Overall though, this is a great game and you have to give it a try if you are a Red Faction fan.

Halo 3: ODST has finally reached store shelves and I decided to grab a copy the first day of release. This game has everything that you would expect in Halo but the game puts you in the shoes of a human rookie working with the ODST. They also have an added mode titled Firefight which is essentially the same as horde mode from Gears of War 2. The campaign is well paced with tons of great moments and the between level section when you play the Rookie are engaging and moody. In terms of multiplayer, there are 3 new maps and there is no Flood in the game at all. However, the multiplayer is recycled content from Halo 3 and if you bought all of the new Halo 3 maps then paying 60 dollars on this feels like a rip off. With a short campaign and just firefight, it leaves people wanting more. The game’s damage indicators can also be annoying at times. Overall though, if you are a Halo fan and want more of a Halo experience, play this game.

Guitar Hero: Metallica has been released and this brings the Metallica band to the Guitar Hero universe. This game has a great array if Metallica songs with a solid setlist that provides many other solid acts. There is also a lot of Metallica flavored extras and a new level of challenge for expert drummers. However, the game is not a great value and the only DLC that is supported is the Death Magnetic album. Overall though, this is a solid game for the Guitar Hero series and probably one that was needed. If you like Guitar Hero, try this game out.
