Call of Duty 5 Co-op

When I first heard they were going back to WWII after creating such a fantastic modern day shooter I thought that the CoD franchise was taking a turn for the worse. But if this new video is any indication of what we can expect from the final product then I don't think we have to worry. Not to mention Jack Bauer is in it. (Warning there is some strong language).

I've recently switched over to Firefox and while I don't hate IE I thought this video was hilarious.

Montauk Monster

In this first photo (above) it looks like some quadrupedal animal with beak like jaws on its face, leading some people to believe that it is some sort of sea turtle without a shell. Now the second photo (below) that the press has sort of brushed over looks much more canine like and the "beak" is apparently bone from the skull that has been revealed due to the decomposition of the body. Either way it is extremely hard to identify exactly what this creature is because of the state of the body. But I personally believe that it is a pit bull or some other variation of canine, of course I could be wrong. Click here for more.

Geometry Wars 2 Review

The gameplay formula for geometry wars is simple, throw a ton of colorful little shapes at you and see how long you can survive. Geometry Wars 2 takes that idea and expands upon it by giving you more game modes and better colorful shapes to shoot at. The new game modes really breathe new life into the game making it a true sequel and not just Geometry wars 1.5.

I really like all of the new game modes but my favorite besides the original Evolved is the new Pacifist mode. Pacifist is a mode that leaves you without the use of your guns and requires you to fly through little gates to destroy the enemy.

Another great little feature is the use of your Xbox Live friend’s list in-game. While playing a certain mode your friend’s name will pop up in the top right corner of the screen displaying his or her score on that particular game mode. Once you beat that person’s score then the next highest friend will pop up. It makes the game really fun and competitive and I spent a lot of time trying to get the best score out of everybody on my friends list.

My only real complaint with the game is the lack of online multiplayer. In this day and age it just doesn’t make any sense. It’s great that you can do it locally, but if they had the time to add it locally they should have spent a little extra time and make it work over Live.
Other than that little qualm I think that if you enjoyed the first game or you like old school arcade games in the same vein as asteroids, then you should pick this game up. It’s a little pricey at 800 MS points ($10) but it is well worth the money spent.
