Players pick up their fire arms and get ready to blast some baddies once more in this fourth installment of the best selling game series of all time. However, if your looking to go chasing after Hitler and Nazi soldiers as in previous CoD games, you may be confused. In the first non world war II Call of Duty, you are dropped into the combat boots of modern day SAS operatives and U.S. Marines.
Story: You play as a total of five different characters, though three of them you play as for only one mission each. They are; Sgt. Paul Jackson, USMC, and Sgt. "Soap" Mactaverish, SAS. The three characters you play as briefly; An unnamed AC-130 gunner, In a flashback, you play as Captain Price, who is normally Soap's squad leader, and you play very briefly as the president of a middle eastern country as you are dragged out and shot by terrorists. The situation is a fictional, but very plausible, scenario in which Russian ultra-nationalists, waging a civil war in Russia, finance a Coup in the middle east to draw attention away from themselves. The United States then proceeds to invade said middle eastern country, and quickly advances. During this time period, you cut between playing as Sgt. Jackson in the Mid-East, and Soap as he runs commando operations in Russia. During the Commando Ops, you will be hunting for the main evil dudes; Al-Asad, Zachiev, and Zachiev's son.
Violence: Call of Duty is a first person shooter, so it is rather violent. You shoot realistic humans with all manor of high powered weaponry. However, blood and bodies do not linger long on the battlefield. There is blood, but not in excess.
Language: A**, D***, H*** and rarely S*** are all used, though not very commonly. There isn't actually that much though, compared to other games.
Multi player: The multi player system is well done, with more than 12 maps, dozens of weapons, and three "kill streaks" awarded to a player getting certain amounts of kills in a row. Weapons are customizable, choose from different sights, attachments and perks to use. additional weapons are unlocked as you rank up. multiplayer is for up to 18 players.
Systems: PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, DS.
All in all, I give it 4 stars
ESRB rating: Mature. Blood and Gore, Intense violence, Strong language.
Reviewed using Xbox 360.

wwhat is this... (Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review)
... i dont evven. 38(
You shouldn't get my joke AT ALL, but that's okay. Just google MSPA.
Hey Internet, I just thought I'd be nice for making my bro PH wait for so long for me to get my lazy self to this blog. So I'll lay down a DOUBLE HEADER. *doubleheads*
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008) Review:
Story: Story time, children.
The story for this game is, honestly, all over the place. You start with Kirby and Mario (yes, the basics, Nintendo has seen the light!) dueling. After the duel the HALBERD from Kirby appears sprinkling evil fairy dust across the stadium. Random things called Drones pop up and start being worthless opponents THIS INSTANT. You beat them up, and go on a 3-hour-long journey to catch this dude called the Ancient Minister. By the time this dude is caught, he's set up Subspace bombs like some kind of terrorist imam and you've gathered a band of characters from Nintendo games to fight him! He actually turns out to have a HEART and reveals himself to be R.O.B!
The rest of the story centers on Tabuu, a Navi from Avatar that got lost on the way to the set, equipped with butterfly wings and radical time-space powers. Though he's freaky, and the rest of the story's ending is miraculous, I must stop there to keep from revealing plot secrets as I am bound to in my e-mail-format contract. So yeah. BUT THE GOOD GUYS WIN!
Still, the story is confusing yet entertaining. It skips around a lot, but there's a reunion of the characters, good and bad, to unite against a common enemy. Quite cartoonishly touching, it has the potential to be a big story. Nintendo characters just can't live up to Master Chief, that's all.
Multiplayer: Okay, I'm no expert on any sort of multiplayer, but it is apparently very good. Just fun, simple brawling between users in an orderly yet chaotic fashion. That's online, but on the simple multiplayer mode, you can battle up to four people on over 30 stages, plus stages you can create. Brings back stages from Melee, and a lot of new content.
It's all pretty basic, nothing fancy. Basically the campaign characters confined to FFA-style battling. Simple enough? You can also play with or without (awesome) items, with or without lives, and with or without time limit. It's all up to you, the way I like my gaming.
Violence: All cartoon. Punches and kicks exchanged, still rated T for the amount of violence. They call it BRAWL for a reason, but don't get your knickers in a twist.
Language: None. SINCE WHEN DO NINTENDO CHARACTERS FORM INTELLIGABLE STATEMENTS? Snake can only say "Showtime!" Pit says annoying phrases, Kirby yips, Yoshi yaps, Link grunts, Mario "Wahoo"s, Bowser roars, Ganondorf wrenches. Seriously, NOTHING.
Overall Rating: The story can't stand alone, the multiplayer is fun and free-form, and the rest is history. Nothing negative with language, and the violence is in good fun. Who can hate on that adorable pink puffball? 4 and a half stars.

Happy now, bro? ;)
That's it for tonight/today guys. Hope you enjoyed, and you can expect moar :3

Heck, it's about time (MoH Review)
... to get this show on the ROAD. B)
Hey there Internet, the name's RB, and here I give to you my second game review EVER. (No, I didn't win a Pulitzer for my Super Mario Galaxy 2 review) ;)
Medal of Honor (2010) for PC Review:
Story: To start my review, I want to start with the storyline. First of all, most FPS players play for multiplayer, not storyline. But this game's story is pretty well-crafted. It's realistic and truly intriguing.
You play as many different characters throughout the span of the game, such as a helicopter pilot and a SEAL. The separate strands of story are all linked together, however, as it revolves around Rabbit, a Ranger belonging to the Neptune squad. This is an elite group of soldiers trained to infiltrate the Taliban during the War in Afghanistan, and the story does not disappoint. You play through thick and thin, atop ATVs, surrounded by foes, and ultimately to the death. (Sorry, spoiler there)
The campaign isn't to difficult, as I beat it in two days of on/off play. You will still, guaranteed, enjoy the campaign and have challenging fun.
Multiplayer: I, unfortunately, have no multiplayer ability. My screen screws up and I can only see my death animation. Really dissappointing.
I still have seen extensive coverage of multiplayer. It is, from what I gather, a lot like CoD. You can initiate calldowns, have kill streaks, and customize your weapon (more or less). It lacks no thrills for those into all out battles. There are over 5 maps to choose from, and each one is large, so you have a real sandbox opportunity. Snipers are abundant, however, and campers reign. So be careful on maps with caves or tunnels. Yikes.
Violence: Hate to break it to you, but this is an FPS. Rated M for Blood and Violence. Decapitation, slitting of throat, and blood lingering in pools = Play responsibly.
Language: Did I mention M for Strong Language? F word said at least thrice in final mission, s word said when ally get hit by grenade, lots of d words... You do the math.
Overall Rating: Those veterans of previous MoH and CoD/Battlefield will know the FPS experience. Great game, good graphics, but the language is extensive. Violence expected (pointing to MW2, folks). 4 stars.
-----------
That's about all there is to it. Hope this is satisfactory, and let's keep this ball rollin'! Expect more reviews~
