The best damn video game magazine on the planet!

I was pissed off thinking somebody stole my latest issue of Game Informer after seeing the newest cover online.  Just got back from the mailbox after a good Mexican dinner and found it.  Thank God!  There was my Game Informer in all its glory with a soldier on the cover emerging from a blazing firefight.  If you’ve played COD Modern Warfare then your probably foaming at the mouth for Modern Warfare 2.  Modern Warfare was a surprise hit surpassing other first person shooters in many aspects.  One of the first modern war games that actually made you feel like part of a team on the field.  Just about every aspect of the game pulled you in and kept you there wanting more action.

More modern battle?  Well here it comes this winter 11-10-09!  Get ready for Modern Warfare 2 developed by Infinity Ward.  The same award winning team that brought you the original Call of Duty WWII game is back at it delivering artistic talent to video game fans once again.  Game-play, detailed characters, great levels, graphics, lighting, physics, story, action.  All great combos for a successful game if done right, and they do it right.

Modern Warfare 2 is reported to be comparable in length as the first game which took me around 10 hours to complete in single player campaign.  Brazil and Russia are to be new settings in the game along with SAS troopers and other Special-Ops forces.  Mountain and wintry combat is said to be available and shouldn’t disappoint.  This is about it on new information for now.  Checkout the trailers online.  They’re fantastic!  Can’t wait to try riding the snow mobiles!
