Tetris vs MW2

Hi again all. Its funny my last blog entry was written in English and didn’t get one comment.  The one before that which was written in Irish, no-one could understand it and it got nine comments. What does that say about people?

 

Back to gaming. I finished the Modern Warfare single player a couple of nights ago and I have to say I was impressed.  This was the first COD game I have ever played so maybe I don’t have much to compare it with but I certainly enjoyed it.  Sometimes you don’t have a whole lot to do, but it’s all about the experience.  I can see why some people are comparing to a movie experience.  Ultimately though isn’t that why we play games, for a good time? I started playing the single player again last night on hardened and one thing I can see is that second time around when you take a closer look at the graphics they aren’t so impressive. 

Something that I’m not happy with in the game is the lack of the ability to play Special Ops with a random online partner.  Most of my friends have MW2 but it can be hard to get them to play when you want, and what happens in a few months when the number of people playing wanes?  I have to say I loved the ability to play co-op on Gears at any time and I found it a great way to meet new people.

 

Something else I’ve been playing recently is Tetris.  My all time favourite game.  I just got a new mobile phone and it came preinstalled on it.  It’s essentially the DS version and it’s a great way to fill in a few minutes. Question of the day; bearing in mind the hype it had, will people still be playing and enjoying MW2 in 20 years like they are still playing Tetris? (ps the answer isn’t yes!)
