Black Ops ReviewsBlack Ops Reviews – “Best COD Ever”, GamePro
After lots of waiting, Call of Duty Black Ops was officially released today and reviews are in. Many agree that Black Ops is SUPERB.
The only thing I'll say about the storyline is that it's the best of the series.
With Call Of Duty: Black Ops, developer Treyarch has finally stepped out from Infinity Ward's shadow by producing one of the best games of this year.
As a reviewer, I try hard to avoid hyperbole, but it’s difficult not to call Black Ops the 'best Call of Duty ever' simply because it’s the ultimate refinement of the franchise formula. With an interesting single-player narrative and a multiplayer component brimming over with content, it’s an easy recommendation for a fanbase looking for the next big thing.
Game Chronicles Black Ops review:
I feel like I am preaching to the choir here, but for those of you who may be doubting Treyarch’s ability to follow in Infinity Ward’s footsteps I’m here to spread the “Good News”.

Download Angry Birds on Your Android for Free
If you've played Angry Bird then you know how addictive these small birds can be. I downloaded it from the Apple store as well.
In fact, Venture Beats reported that Angry Birds has sold more than 7 million copies in just 10 months which is a record breaker!
Now Angry Birds is available on Android and when it was launched on GetJar thousands swarmed in to download the game and the site even experienced some down time due to the huge amount of traffic from the launch.
You can download Angry Birds on Android for Free at GetJar but since there is lots of traffic they also recommend you download Angry Birds from their mobile site.
DotA 2 Confirmed by Valve for 2011
It's confirmed, Valve will be making DotA which is set to be released in 2011.
According to Escapist Magazine:
Valve doesn't plan on changing what DotA players are used to, with DotA 2 set to bring over DotA AllStars's 100+ hero roster, the same map, items, skills, and upgrade paths. In DotA 2, these aspects will only be freed from the constraints put on them by the WarCraft III engine thanks to the use of Valve's Source engine instead.
Defence of the Ancients 2 or DotA 2 is set to be released on PC and Mac in 2011.
Medal of Honor 2010 Reviews From Around the Web
Medal of Honor from Electronic Arts was released today October 12, 2010 and has mixed reviews.
Some claims Mendal of Honor doesn't stand up to Call of Duty while others believe it has an unnerving realism.
Call of Duty will soon be releasing their latest project, Black Ops which many gamers are awaiting and believe will surpass Medal of Honor.
Here are a few reviews from gamers around the web.
PC Gamer: Medal of Honour is a game that struggles with identity. It's sometimes brave enough to let players not be the hero, and it's invigorating when it does so. The back half of the game is more retreat than fightback, sprints away from combat and into the welcoming rotors of evac choppers. Moments like these carry the sense of martial respect that the game's developers have tied the game up with, but they're undone by tiresome tropes cribbed from contemporaries.
Joystiq: Where the game falters is in its reliance on scripted events that take control away from the player. [...] The graphics are a mixed bag as well. [...] In spite of its occasional shortcomings, the campaign in Medal of Honor kept me immersed in its world, and made me further appreciate the efforts of our real-world armed forces. [...] In any other genre, a stellar single player experience would be enough to garner a whole-hearted recommendation. But it's impossible to ignore the importance of multiplayer, especially when Medal of Honor's primary competitor tends to excel at both. Medal of Honor's campaign is an exceptional experience, but the total package simply doesn't beat Call of Duty.
Kotaku: Medal of Honor's campaign is a short, though taut experience with engaging level design, deft pacing and surprising audio and visual touches. Online, the game maintains most of what makes the campaign sing, but doesn't quite deliver the number of options modern day shooter fans may expect. Despite the hoopla over modern settings and the inclusion of enemy Taliban, there are no deep messages in Medal of Honor beyond one of the effectiveness of the U.S. military in the Middle East.
Electricpig: [T]he multiplayer is excellent, offering a solid structure which encourages you to improve your skills and rewards effort with enhanced equipments and rank. Ultimately, Medal of Honor combines a decent single-player mode with a superb online component, but we're not entirely sure this package is going to be enough to drag people away from the still popular Modern Warfare 2, or the newly-launched Halo Reach. The solo campaign isn't as enjoyable or innovative as either of those games - in fact, it brazenly borrows many elements (including the slow-motion door-busting mechanic, employed to empty a room of enemies) from Activision's illustrious best-seller.
What is your review of the Medal of Honor 2010?
