Gary Oldman was one of the highlights of World at War. His voice had vigor which brought really well to the character's depiction. I was worried that they couldn't get him back for Black Ops, but since he's back I'm happy.
 
Not uberhyped for Black Ops (kinda suffering a COD burnout), but I'm keeping tabs on it.

" hold on the bigger problem here is WTF IS GAMESTOP DOING ON A MILITARY BASE. why medal of honor if your going to do that why not also ban every war game that is based in middle east you know what games im talking about. "

" I'll probably pick this game up eventually when it's gone down in price since hopefully the single-player will help tie up some of the lose ends of mw2 (seeing as it doesn't look like infinity ward will be doing anything soon) but it's too soon after modern warfare 2 for me to be excited about it. Also the zombie mode that was in WAW hasn't been confirmed for Black Ops so that's disappointing. "

Do I feel that the GJAIF guy made somewhat of a harsh comment about this? Yes. Do I think he's a prick? He comes off as one, yes. But is he relatively fair and points out flaws? Yes, and with valid reasons. Y'know why Kotaku, Joystiq, Destructoid and IGN are common targets for his blog? Because they're all examples on how NOT to run a gaming blog.
 
His blog should be a metric on how you can tell the good writers from the shit ones. Basically if you ended up there, you fucked up unless you're willing to calmly debate his arguments and not just yell "Fuck You!" at him every time you see him like the fuckwit games journalists he ridicules. It's an interesting barometer.

We cannot adopt the philosophies of other developers/publishers and have them apply to Valve. Valve works in a different manner than most other companies. Will there be a L4D3 somewhere down the line? Absolutely. But since L4D2 has a pretty polished formula, I bet they're sticking with that for a few years instead of pooping out another sequel like certain publishers do.

I have... about 53 or so. I have a few HL2 mods in the mix so that kinda skews the list a bit.

" They are making Half-Life 3. It is so obvious. They realized there was to much story left to tell in one episode, so they switched to Half-Life 3 on Source 2.  "

Valve is a company that consists of about 200 employees working on various projects at a time. Episode 3 probably is being scrutinized heavily to assure that nobody gets a shitty finale.
 
And who says "it's not a full game?" Portal 2 is getting the full sequel treatment, I wouldn't be surprised if Episode 3 is as long and varied as HL2 was.

" Hey guys. I heard you want to pay $48 a year for Quake 3.

" Micheal Giacchino composed all the previous Medal of Honor games, and quite frankly he was brilliant. It would be sad if EA didn't get him in for this years reboot. Does anyone know anything about this?  "
