Well then, a change of direction. No longer shall I be the not very philosiphical wannabe that I was, I shall be something else entirely, something a whole lot more exciting, I am becoming a game reviewer.
*Cue intro song*
Yes, Gandalf the Gamer here, I must say I'm less of a proper hardcore game more of a recreational user and Xbox n00b. I have a very traditional attitude to gaming. The campaign comes first, then extras, then campaign again. No online. No Xbox live. None of It. Some times. So of I were to review any COD game it would probably a short and embarrassing review in which I try to be clever and funny by pointing out the american attitudes to war and patriotism.
And on that note, I shall tell you my first game choice. Tom "So American You Can Imagine Every Character Shouting "Yes-Haw" Every Minute" Clancy's Hawx. Hawx is a game for people who had a flight simulator game as a child and was shit. This is that but If you are shit at this you are privacy still that child. It's not hard, just follow the mission parameters and your fine.
The only complex bit is when the flaps pack it in and you crash into the sea. Yeah, you as a pilot don't have a parachute as well So you get shot, you carry on flying till you die, all to save 'Murica. Why you can't even pull an escape lever and are allowed to fly the most expensive thing in the military Is beyond me. The characters are horribly cheesy and I was disappointed by the little references to "Top Gun" there were, except "Lets show them who the top guns are" said by your comrades. Every bloody dog fight.
Some cool missions but repetitive game play - what do you accept from a combat flight simulator, you fly a plane, and that is it. What about online I hear you ask? Well, if you are prepared o wait for the 7 other people in the world who are playing to choose their planes I'm sure the game play wouldn't be any different. It's fun, but repetitive, however there is a good replay value, as odd as it sounds.
A good solid game, don't expect miracles in graphics, music or character development, or story line, or online, or even not over compensating for lack of manliness.
Much like COD then.
