My little girl left her DSi car-charger at an airport in Texas when we were flying back to Japan, and some American bastard claimed it as his/her own!

Hey Buddy!!!!  Tell her Uncle Robio has a great present for her on Annual Gift Giving Day. Don't worry about, I don't mind spending a few bucks on your little princess peach.

Playing Modern Warfare 2. Also played through F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin recently. Really cool game, certainly worth the $20 I paid for it.

So whats the final verdict on MW2 compared to the first game. Can you answer the question better now on the story links?

Yeah the game is totally awesome. The first MW was fantastic and I wasn't sure how they could have improved it but they did. Campaign is even more intense and more of a thrill ride then the first one. Online multiplayer is the best multiplayer game I have ever played. I haven't played much of Special Ops but it looks to be a great bunch of challenges. As for story links from the first game well what else can I tell you, it's five years later, there's some returning characters, and you're fighting terrorists. This is my 2009 GotY.

How long is the campaign? Do they do anything to address the cheap elements of the design? I was playing MW last night and in some levels you can repeatedly die if you try and go one way in a level, but by skirting around a back alley everything is A okay. Kinda pisses me off. What about grenades? Just as bad?

Well it took me about 12 hours to play through the campaign on normal. I guess they might have fixed some of those cheap aspects although I couldn't really tell you because I never really had a problem or notice those in the first one. This one is different because the enemies don't continually respawn like they did before.

WTF?

Hallelujah!

Played the first half-hour of The Saboteur. I made the error of putting in the Midnight Show code because it promised Games of Chance and Rewards for your Risks... and boobies.

All I've seen so far is boobies...  

I love the extreme charactatures of the Irishman and the French resistance guys.

When in black and white with the occasional splash of color here and there, the game looks good. When you free an area from the Nazis altogether, the color becomes downright vibrant! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the contrast effect! It's like Madworld with more than just the blood in color. The things that need to stand out REALLY stand out! I wish more games used this effect, it's just that cool!

It's like Assassin's Creed lite with the building climbing elements, but the burly Irishman storming like a bull through the streets of Paris to the sounds of 1940's music in the background... it gives it a feel all it's own and I like it. It's not GREAT so far, but I see a LOT of potential here if the game gets any sales at all (other than me)!

No regrets buying it here!

That's 2 of 3 games picked up today previewed for you guys. I'll get to Spirit Tracks eventually, but Bugsie did an excellent preview of it already today, so I don't feel it's quite as necessary to do it at the moment.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Thanks for the impressions. I'll probably hobo this one.
