Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Ps 3 Review

*the following does not include the multiplayer part of the game only the single player component was played for this review thank you*

Hello all
I am not a gamer who preorder's games all the time. Maybe once in a blue moon do i preorder a game, so when i do it had better be a great game, and let me Say that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is one such game. One that i was happy to preorder and one i am going to be happy to own for a long time. First off the campaign and let me say it is a doosy. The campaign kicks off right where Modern Warfare 2 left off, and finishes the story started in Call of duty 4 Modern Warfare started. It is capped by incredible sequences and background, and the story is one that feels more like a real movie than a video game. The places you play in and the areas you see, are familiar yet with a twist of war to them that many of these places has not seen in over 60 years, if ever.

The characters, you care about and are saddened if die and let me say this game puts anyone on the chopping block. The new characters are great additions to the already stellar characters and infanity ward and sledgehammer games has done and excellent job and give all the charterers their own style and movements.

After the campaign is over you are not done there is the single player Survivor mode and mission mode to contend with. Mission is just a series of mission set throughout the story that tell of different area, this is a nice addition to the game, and brings out a little more of the story of the campaign. Survivor though is another story entirely, this mode will be the mode you will stay up late at night to play just to see to what level you can get to. This mode, is where you fend off waves of enemies with whatever weapons you can get from the enemy, or buy. The weapons, can include things such as simple assualt rifle, to predator drone strike and sentry guns. All of these make strategy as well as shooting an important part of the game, which usually in a shooter strategy is missing. Also you can buy equipment upgrades like claymore mines and body armor as well as buy ammo refills and add ons to your guns like sights and grenade launchers. All of which give you more options to dispatch waves of foot soldiers, Juggernauts, and helicopters.

All in all this is one of the great games of this system and this generation of games, i am glad that Activision lived up to the expectations we games had for this game and i cant wait to see what is next for the call of duty franchise

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Game Review

*the following game review reflect the PlayStation 3 version and does not include a review of the multiplayer only the single player campaign and features only*

Hello All
With the arrival of Modern Warfare 3 out i though it would be a good time to review the game before that one, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and let me say this game does not disappoint. This game was made for fans of shooters. the story behind this game, is fluid, incredible, spans the world and is more like a blockbuster movie than a simple video game. When you get done with the campaign, the special ops mode has more mini missions you can play alone that are very difficult but rewarding to accomplish. While i wont give away the story, this games main single player component is the story and lures you in with tales of soldier, general, fighting, and more. If you have not bought this game do so now and get the new Modern Warfare three while you are at it but if you can get number 2 first so you can see how the modern warfare story continues from the first one and what to expect in number 3.

World War Z Review

Hello all
just got through reading the book World War Z by Max brooks and let me say that while the book does have it's flaws it is still a very enticing read. First off the format of the book is very unusual. Instead of telling the story from the perspective of one and having pieces of the world trickle in over time, Max tells it from an interviewer, and interviews multiple people from multiple parts of the world. This paints a very bleak picture of the Zombie War and the effects it has on the people, animal, and environment of the planet. The images Max puts forth is of a world at first in turmoil, then on the ropes, then desperate then clawing back. The people the interviewer talks to all have varied degree of opinions and voices all their own, from the Israelis, to the Russians to the Americans all have voices and experiences all their own. However because the book does jump around it can be easy to get lost from one person to another and some of the choices made by the character and their consequences are questionable at best, but these are minor blemishes on a good book.
