COD : World at War

My son just had to have the new Call of Duty game. He saved his allowance and bought it a few days ago. One feature that I love is the coop game play. I can finally play with my son instead of against him. Very cool!!!!

COD 5 also has trophies. So far I've earned three of them. I was playing in solo mode and all of a sudden the trophy message popped up on the screen. This is the first game that we purchased that has the trophy system. I think that it will give the solo mode more meaning.

So far the online play has been pretty tough. I have worked my way up to level 10 though. So far I have enjoyed the new features on COD 5.

Mirror's Edge Demo

I down loaded the Mirror's Edge demo from the PlayStation Network and installed it on the PS3. The game play is a classic run, jump, leap format with stunning visuals that remind me of a comic book. You play as Faith who is a runner [an underground courier that carries information and documents across the cityscape.] The storyline is based on a conspiracy involving the death of the city's mayor and Faith's sister who was framed in his murder.

As Faith you will run across rooftops and along walls, leap between buildings, balance on pipes and elude the authorities as you work to deliver your packages and gain information about the murder plot.

Game play is tricky but fulfilling when you complete a tricky maneuver. I enjoyed the demo.

Call of Duty : Level 50

Ok I've been playing Call of Duty 4 online since the end of June and I have just now reached level 50. Five more levels to go before entering the prestige levels. I've completed a lot of challenges along the way and hope to complete several more before I reach the prestige levels.

I realize many of my readers are now getting tired of reading about my Call of Duty experiences, so I've downloaded a new demo which I will review in the coming days. I'll bet you can hardly wait!!! ;-)

More domination

My son called me out the other day. We played a Call of Duty deathmatch with a max score of 20 kills. He dominated me mostly using a hand gun. Ouch.

The kills were 20-3 in his favor. The map we played on was one of the middle eastern maps and he obviously knew it very well.

He wanted to play again. We ended up on the chinatown map. In this match I did much better. When time ran out I still lost but only by the score of 12-11. I was about 12 seconds from claiming a tie. DARN!

COD 4 domination

Last night I was in the basement watching my son play Call of Duty. He trash talks with me all the time and tells me how good he is at the game. I tended to think that he was just a little better than me. But after watching him dominate the other online players last night I have to give him props.

In the deathmatch game that I watched, he had two different kill streaks of ten. Not only was he the high score for the game but his number of kills were more than double the next highest number. He also accounted for more than a third of his team's score.

Yes I am jealous. And I am no where near being in his league.
