    Let's Go All The Way...

    Put in 10 minutes on the copy of MOH Frontline that came with the copy of MOH 2010 I got...

    I won't use the usual "Holy shit it looked bad, even with the HD uprez" comment because that's to be expected with a game that came out 8 years after MOH 2010 was released.

    But I can't see if I'm hitting anything with the turret you have to run to after scurrying across that minefield in the first level.

    I'll look into seeing if I can put on crosshairs through the main menu but if I can't I'm going to need to get a set of binoculars out to see those dirty VG Krauts.

      Why do I have Plants Vs. Zombies on 4 different systems (360, Steam, Android, and PS3)? Because 3 of the 4 were free. A better question would be, why have I beaten Plants Vs. Zombies on 3 systems (360, Steam, Android)? And an even better question would be, WHY AM I ABOUT TO BEAT IT AGAIN ON PS3!?

        Way back when that shit came out I beat it on Normal on PS2. The only really difficult part I remembered back then was near the very end. There was like a barn or something you had to go through and you get ambushed by what seemed like 100 enemies. It was brutal.

        But when I replayed it with the new MoH I couldn't even get passed the beginning beach part. I guess the pussification of gaming has hit me hard over the years.

          I think that in part too our eyes were trained to spot stuff differently back then. Shit like Doom wasn't hard for me back in the day, but now I'm looking for super detailed bad guys instead of pixelated pockets of brown. After how far graphics have come, I've lost my sixth sense ability of saying "That pixelated area is a bad guy, I know it."

          I think this obviously is most true with FPS's.

              Early rumors about Dead Space 3 say that it'll be set on an ice world, and Ellie will be returning.

                Finally finished up another play through of Uncharted 2. That game's story mode blows me away every time. Great fucking ending and one of my favorite final boss fights ever. I think I'm going to start another play through of the first one tonight.

                      I actually thought that the final boss was one of the only weak points of that game. It wasn't the worst I've ever played but it sure wasn't very good.

                        Is it really crazy tough like those fuckers we faced in Gears? No, but I dunno, I kind of enjoyed it. I also think it's much better than the final fight in UC1.

                          I know it got a lot of flak but I though the final fight is Uncharted 1 was decent and much more realistic. I liked the fact that he had all those soldiers that you had to fight through to get to him and onc you got close you could just finish him off ny fighting him mano y mano.

                            I'll give you that, it's definitely more realistic. I remember getting pretty angry at those damn soldiers lol, they were a pain in the ass. Should be interesting to see what kind of final boss fight or whatever they throw at us in 3.
