Call of Duty 4 (360)
I’ve had this sitting around for a while now, but only started it last night.
You know how most shooters have you running around corridors, with a few memorable set pieces thrown in? This is the opposite. Huge firefights and amazing scenes linked by short runs from place to place. One moment you’re escaping a sinking ship, then you’re sniping some Russians, then running for your life across a town square filled with burning cars, then fighting it out in a TV station in the Middle East. All those things happen in the first hour, with more besides.
It’s really very good indeed. So intense, though, that after an hour or so I had to stop playing because I was completely worn out.
I’d make a rubbish soldier.

Another update, another map, but a big change for CoD: Zombies. The new map in this update is free, which makes a change from previous maps. Also, all the previous maps are unlocked whether you’d bought them or not. I’ve no idea why, but I’m not complaining. (Unlike Internet rage-kids, who think that the months

I found the power switch! Hooray! I also got a much higher score than I had before. I do love the double-barreled shotgun. It’s good for blowing off heads, limbs and assorted chunks of rotting zombie flesh. Still haven’t tried any of the drinks from the vending machines – they’re awfully expensive. You know, this

So, a big update to CoD: Zombies (I’m not typing out the full name again) came out yesterday. While I was waiting, I practiced on the old version. I’m not really very good, finding headshots tricky, but I do love it. And the flamethrower is just mmmmmmm. Soon enough, though, the update arrived, which added

I keep dying early. I’ve worked out why, though. When I first started playing I was only about bare survival. Now I try to push things by saving my money, using the knife, going for headshots, etc. Inevitably, when you’re living on the edge, you sometimes fall off.

Killed a lot more zombies last night. I’m happy to report that it’s not getting old. I also tried out the other control schemes available and they all work fine. So well, in fact, that I’m now wondering which to stick with. I think maybe the default controls, which are very similar to the dual

You know how I blogged about this yesterday, praising it to the heavens and calling it a new App Store classic? Remember that? Well, I tried it at home last night and… and… I think I was right. It’s absolutely superb. I’m already itching for new maps, though. I also tried an online game last

Yes, it’s a two-colon game, but let’s not hold that against it. What we’ve got here is the Zombies game mode from Call of Duty: World At War, where you’re stuck in a bunker with hordes of Nazi undead trying to break in and munch on your brains. You start off in a small room

Completed! Spent two or three hours this morning polishing off the single player campaign. Good stuff, when you remember that you’ve got to keep pushing ahead. I’m not sure I’ll ever want to play it again, though, and I never play online any more, so this may be trade fodder now.

That bit with the Ferris Wheel, that’s a bit hard. Phew.
