To Days Of Inspiration...
Natsuki's random ramblings and other crap! Enjoy! :3nod:
Gaming Review 3: COD 4, LBP, and my favorite gaming system!
Sorry it's been so long, but I started college last fall, I've had a bit of trouble keeping up with everything but I've made a short list of worthy, were-anticipated/are-anticipated games for you to look at a little more closely.

A (Now) Look Back at Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare...
Those of you out there who really know me well know that I am not a fan of war games. not, Not, NOT! War games strike me as pointless and repetitive but finally one has come along that even I am crazy for! Call of Duty 4 is not like any other war game I have played. I haven't been into a shooter since Doom 64 but I find this game even tops the amazement that left me with when I was ten... (R.E. 4 doesn't count! XD)
Call of Duty 4 impesses with stunning, seriously magical graphics, great A.I. enemies, so much realism your actually scared, reasonable controls, and loveable characters, such loveable characters! ( Cpt. MacMillan! <3 )
I finally got my hands on one of the more sophisticated and professional gaming systems of this generation, a Playstation 3. I ONLY bought my PS3 for COD4! That is how much I love it!
The Multiplayer game is spectacular, even now coming with the ability to purchase an extension pack with all new online levels, some reflecting on past CODs such as Chinatown and the Creek which are my personal favorites!
Though the Multiplayer gaming experience is enough to keep you playing into the wee hours of the night and writing your paper on current wars and weapons, the single-player story has just as many satisfying late-night worthy gaming experiences to keep you playing day in and day out!
I have to be truthful though, there is only one level that I bought this game for! Chernobyl. Yes, your thinking of the right place, Pripyat, Ukraine, where the largest nuclear powerplant meltdown in the history of the world occurred! Because of the overly-impressive graphics this game offers you actually get to see Pripyat yourself, go where you want to go in the abandoned city that has 500 or so years to go before people can safely live there again... I find that exploring the level could be only second to going to Pripyat in your own skin, rather than your tv screen.
Though there are a few shaky things about the PS3 that sort of remind me of the NES days, everything is made up in the games! And the PS3 version of COD4 is my choice game! This is definitely one to take a second glance at, any fan of realism in games would agree that COD4 is a keeper. COD4 gets 5 angry russian soldiers outta 5...

The Little Big Review of Little Big Planet!
"It's alright to be little bitty." If Alan Jackson was singing about Little Big Planet, he couldn't have been farther from the truth. This. Game. Is. AMAZING! You play as a Sack person, either Sack Boy or Sack Girl. You get the overwhelming opportunity to explore the areas of Little Big Planet, tinkering with anything (and almost everything) that you can get your little stitched hands on. This game will keep you awake for days, and when you finally go to sleep, YOU'LL DREAM ABOUT IT!
My favorite aspects of this game are user-created levels (which have literally endless possibilities) and the extremely-fun ability to customize your sack person in literally every way, even the type of material your made of! The level creator is extremely extensive leaving you with the ability to create just about anything as precise as you wish! The story levels are amazing as well, with everything from The Canyons to the Oriental Ninja Training level! This game really shows why the Playstation 3 is such a great competetor in the current gaming war.
The only things that can be a little bit frustrating about this game is that it's a little bit hard to jump at certain places and the camera system can be a bit troubling in the Multiplayer levels.
Little Big Planet is still something everybody should take a look at, this sixty dollar game really pays off in the long run...
Little Big Planet gets 5 stitches outta 5.

And the System is...
Okay, so everyone is choosing a gaming system or company that they're rooting for in the new game war, last time, I rooted for SEGA. This time, however, I'm rooting for Sony. I've seriously fallen in love with my Playstation 3. I find this system much, MUCH more enjoyable than the Wii, though the Wii has its perks. Well, that's my choice, what's yours?

My Picks: Call of Duty 5: World at War, Guitar Hero 3, and Sonic Unleashed.

I need your help! Send me a PM, recommend some games to me and I'll try my best to try them! Thank you!
