Back To Page 5 Conclusion This game is not for everyone. As a matter of fact, there seems to be a concerted effort among its fan base to keep it out of the hands of anyone under driving age. When asked about the game by someone whose tone of voice suggests they’re still struggling […]
Back To Page 4 Team Chalk 4 – We Blow the $#%@! Out of Everything I’ve joined my first-ever online gaming clan. I’m serious. I’m a latecomer to the multiplayer genre, but I’m an enthusiastic bastage now and you all have Xbox Live to thank. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you […]
Back To Page 3 Pardon Me While I Yawp Here Now for the bad. The control scheme on the gamepad is wrong. The rotary menu accessed by holding down the ‘B’ button (to select your weapons) is to be avoided at all costs because about 50% of the time, it caused me to select […]
Back To Page 2 If I Wanted Sluggish and Unresponsive Controls, I’d Be Flying a 747 Right Now The gameplay is standard America’s Army / CounterStrike fare. When I first tried the PC version of the America’s Army franchise, I have to be honest, I didn’t like it. Between the lag that invariably got me killed before I […]
Back To Page 1 We’ve Been Here Before “Dear Mom, Thanks for the care package. The cookies were great. My deployment to Ghanzia is going well, but I need you to do me a favor. Please go get a globe and find out where the hell Ghanzia is for me…“ America’s Army: True Soldiers borrows […]
So Accurate, It Even Models Boredom and Profanity Xbox 360 Version by Chuck “PFunk” Bellows Introduction I’ve been playing the latest offering in the America’s Army franchise for the last weekend and you’ll be happy to know I’ve joined the Army, volunteered for the infantry, and called Blackwater to check and see if they’ll have an opening when […]
Back To Page 4 Conclusion Well as you can tell if you read my review, this has potential for PC “Game of the Year” written all over it. Graphics and sounds are incredible. Game play and execution is well done. The single player campaign is a must play. Multiplayer is very well done (if […]
Back To Page 3 Multiplayer I bought both versions of CoD4, the PC version, for this review and my excellent system, and the Xbox 360 version because frankly the console has the PC beat when it comes to multiplay. Built in comms in every game, no IP discussions, or connection issues. On the 360 you […]
Back To Page 1 Game Menus Here’s some examples of Call of Duty 4’s menu screens. Graphics and Sounds CoD4 is the first review I have produced on my new state-of-the-art system, and it looks and plays fantastic. I assume it was because my new system plays it at 1600x1200x32 resolution at 80-plus frames per […]
Back To Page 2 Single Player I usually praise the multiplayer and find fault with the single player in my game reviews, but CoD4 is just the opposite. The single player campaign grabs you by the balls from the word go and does not let go until after the credits, and I mean really, after […]
by Chuck “Magnum” Ankenbauer Introduction Once in a while a computer game comes out that becomes a classic. Examples like Falcon 3, Longbow 2, Janes F15, or maybe Counterstrike, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, or even Diablo. All classics in their own right. There are games that should have never seen the light of day. If they […]
Back To Page 4 Conclusion Infinity Ward was smart enough not to change a winning formula, only enhancing the game where it was needed. Multiplayer is better then the previous games, and as I have grown tired of WW2, the game experience is much better and more polished, but the game is still Call […]
