How to get into PC gaming
I like how the author thinks console gamers don't have PCs already for document processing, internet access, and other stuff (and last time I checked a good graphics card wasn't required for those). Stop with the argument that you can use the PC for other uses. If you're buying a new PC you're pretty much just buying it for the gaming purposes.

Homefront (Xbox 360): Homefront review
"Believable story" Hahahahaha, oh wow. South Korea peacefully agreeing to be ruled by the North, and various convenient disasters to bring the US down a bit. And China somehow not caring that the nation it has under its wing is growing more powerful than they can benefit from. Or any other non-NK power for that matter.

That's not much GAMEPLAY footage. There's more to a game than just particle effects.

I wonder if the KPA actually has a reason for committing such crimes other than to look obviously evil.

Bulletstorm (Xbox 360): Bulletstorm review
This review sounds very sycophantic. While I could appreciate the possible replay value and interesting gameplay, some of the things you talk about aren't as good as they actually are. Smartly written scenes? I guess just randomly sticking a vulnerable little girl in is enough to build sympathy from you. Not to mention a revelation that they've been doing not-so-innocent killings out of nowhere. And that on-rails thing looks like it has way too many things going on. It's not well-constructed, it's cluttered. But I can agree with the rest of the review, in a different tone. This probably should be on anyone's buy list.

Call of Duty: Black Ops - 8 simple reasons you suck at multiplayer
#7 can be sort of ignored with Suppressors and Sleight of Hand. As for #2, some of the assault rifles are good at everything. If you know how to shoot, you could even snipe with them. With #1, assaulting an enemy spawn point will be as hard as assaulting the middle point anyway.

How to make a game longer without boring the pants off everyone
A bunch of zombies better than Fallout 3 Broken Steel. Yeah, sure. Most of these are just repetitive slogs. The first one did seem appealing though.

Crysis 2 (PC): PC gaming being 'held back' by consoles says Crytek man. 360s and PS3s everywhere have a cry
Sorry, I don't feel like dishing out a few hundred dollars for PC upgrades every time there's a new game with higher system requirements.
