That's what I'm doing right now. Or maybe you could file it under, "user testing".

I love it, don't get me wrong. I just finished the second act, and I can honestly say I'm having a blast. I never played any of the previous Metal Gears, and I think that is helping my appreciation. I also enjoy stealth games like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, so that helps too.
Soul Source | Possible Reason |
---|---|
Fire Hydrant | Dogs leave small amounts of soul every visit, it builds up. |
Sofa | Sweet loving, proof that every sperm is sacred. |
Table | Spilled food |
Chair | One cheek sneaks actually escaping soul. Builds up. |
Book Shelf | Authors pour soul into book, book pours soul into shelf. |
Gravestone | It's soaking in it. |
James Brown | And he's super bad. |
I just picked up my copy of Modern Warfare 2 after it was shipped here by Amazon. I can't actually play the game until tonight, so here's my review of the manual included in the stock $60 version of the game:
Meh.
I'm a little bit torn. For my birthday I was given the game Avatar: The Burning Earth, because people know I'm a big fan of the cartoon and a big fan of those video games as well. What they didn't know, is that this game is famous for having the cheapest and most broken 1000 points of gamerscore out there. The video has been around for a while. I'm more than a little bit addicted to getting those points, but this one just feels wrong.
Of course, I also have most of the achievements from that Doritos game, but I justified that to myself by it being an okay little game. I'd have totally paid a quarter to play that one back when there still were arcades. Sure, I bought a big bag of Doritos after playing it, but that's because I like chips. That had nothing to do with spending an hour playing a fatty snack themed game, right? Maybe?
If you subscribe to the fighting game theory that nothing is cheap, then I guess it's clear what to do. The points inflation from this game has already occurred, I'm just returning my score to its baseline. That's what I'll tell myself, but I have to admit that I already don't really believe it. They're cheap, nearly unearned points. I should feel bad about it.
But hey, a third S-Rank! Sweet!
It's the year of the sequel -- the second in the series -- as company after company drops a big number two on the gaming public. Anticipated within the next twelve months are such titles as Assassins Creed 2, Bioshock 2, Left 4 Dead 2, possibly Crackdown 2, Dead Rising 2, DiRT 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Mass Effect 2, ARMA II, The BIGS 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Red Steel 2, Lost Planet 2, and Modern Warfare 2 (which might secretly be a 6 disguised as a 2) . Already released are games I loved like Skate 2, Fable II, and -- breaking news -- Worms 2: Armageddon.
I'm sure a lot of it has to do with where we are in the console cycle. A bunch of new games were released when the Xbox 360 (also a second in the series), Playstation 3, and Wii first came out, and we're hitting the point a few years later where the developers could turn around a sequel for the games that seemed to warrant them. Personally, I think it's a great thing as the second game has a chance to iron out any problems found in the first, while still delivering more of the same game play I loved before.
I'm excited. Who else is ready to go number 2?
