What a great couple of months!  I haven't seen this many great releases in a long while.  Been busy playing everything and will have full reviews in the next week or so, but I figured I'd give a quick update on what I have been playing and small mini review of each...

Modern Warfare 2 - Wow, having started playing the Call of Duty Series at #4 I was impressed at the gameplay and the amount of multiplayer fun there is.  Once I heard that Infinity Ward was creating a second version of their blockbuster Modern Warfare I was stoked!  After lots of hype and lots of of controversy the release of Modern Warfare 2 was spectacular selling 4.7 million copies in the first 24 hours, earning $310 million breaking many records.  

The hype was very much worth it.  Currently been playing a lot of multiplayer (duh) and having a great time. Lots of great additions to multiplayer from added perks, added weapons, customizeable kill streak bonuses, and incredible amount of challenges to keep you begging for more.  Infinity Ward outdid themselves with the maps as each map is greatly detailed and excellent to play. Special Ops is fun as is the Campaign mode but honestly haven't played enough of either to pass judgement.  If you play FPS online and you like modern warfare, then Modern Warfare 2 is a must buy.  Plenty copies are available at stores so go get it today..  

Left 4 Dead 2 - Another game that comes with controversy, L4D 2.  If you don't know what Left 4 Dead is, get your head out of your ass and go buy the original.  I, too be honest, hate zombie games as they are mindless shooting through ridiculous hordes of zombies.  Boring!!!  L4D raised the bar in zombie mayhem and have created the best zombie killing game I have ever played.  L4D had me and many of my friends, including my wife who doesn't play FPS, coming back for more many many late nights.  

The Left 4 Dead 2 demo was released a few weeks ago for those who pre-ordered and offered a small glimpse into what The Parish campaign will have. Short and sweet and to the point, got you enough to beg, PLEAD, for more.  New Special infected including the Charger, Jockey and the roaming witch are the latest additions.  The Parish campain was excellent and showed what it will be like to kill hordes of infected during the daylight hours with new and exciting weaponry including a chainsaw!  L4D2 also has new modes included in the sequel with much more to come once I get my hands on my copy tonight at 12AM!

New Super Mario Bros.Wii - Another game that if you own a Nintendo Wii go out and buy it today, if you don't own a Wii, and miss old school Mario, then get off the couch and buy a Wii and New Super Mario Bros.Wii.  Release this past Sunday is a redo of the New Super Mario Bros from the DS, with all new maps and outfits.  The new Mario is a great throwback of the games we have all come to know and love but now packed with local multiplayer where up to 4 players can take control of Mario, Luigi, and 2 other Toad characters can play cooperatively to conquer the Bowser for taking Princess once again.  Graphics, gameplay, and nostalgic value are the main reasons to buy this game today.  Great times great fun.  New Super Mario Bros.Wii reminds me strongly of Super Mario Bros 3 but has elements of all the old games and new content as well.  GO BUY IT!

As you can see I have my work cut out for me.  So stay tuned for a bunch of reviewed good or bad from me for these great games as well as some others that have been recently released.  Time for me to head to Gamestop to secure my copy of L4D2.  Peace!
