Game Essentials: Call of Duty 4
My friend Shawn told me to get this game nine months ago. Over and over. And over. I bought it on sale for the 360 from Target. Then he told me I should play it. Over and over. And over. I finally did about a month back. Really, it was tough for any game to follow in the footsteps of Bioshock (see here and here).
Story-wise, if you are into straight-up modern warfare, you will find nothing better out there. Nothing. Gameplay, nothing. Fun, nothing. After pondering this for a bit, this game is easily in my top 5 of all time, up there with Halo, Bioshock, Knights of the Old Republic, and Infocom text adventures (yes, I am THAT old). Now, I could do like other sites and write multiple pages of review on the games I play which would prevent me from pulling a paycheck, getting my butt whupped by Dylan in Lego Indy (another excellent game, BTW), or examining the insides of my eyelids; but I won’t. Try it if you can, then buy it. I think it is still up on XBox Live. It is even out for Mac (yes, Mac does get Triple A titles when the moon and stars align). On second thought, just go buy it already.
