THe other game that took over, moreso than bioshock even because I'm afraid to play Bioshock at night because its so fucking creepy, is Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I had been following the game for a long time, and lucked out to get in the first wave of entrants in the beta.
It's a very solid shooter. Thats all I can really say about it. When i say solid I mean SOLID. Not liquid, SOLID. Not gaseous like Jupiter, SOLID like an igneous rock.
Its a really fast paced game too, but there is a lack of variety in the gametypes. Team deathmatch can only hold me for so long. THat said, its REALLY fun and very addicting. If you are going to rent it, you might as well buy it, because you're probably not going to want to bring it back if you like console shooters.
I've been cruising forums here and there and everyone who likes the game says it is going to be the "official" Halo Killer. This probably Isn't true. I've been following both games closely and, other than perks, COD4 doesn't bring anything new to the FPS genre. Its like COD2 with perks and modern weapons (which is sweet). Its a great game, but I'd put Bioshock over it for GOTY.
The perks are cool and they do have a heavy impact on the individual's gameplay. It would have been cool if there were team perk bonuses like if everyone picked sonic boom (better explosives) they would start out with more grenades or something like that.
It's a great game that's a SLIGHTLY overhyped. For me, it might have been better than Halo3 if it wasn't for Bungie's new map editing tool, Forge. Which basically is the same thing as Myth II's Loathing.
Sorry for the comparison to Halo3, but I've been seeing it everywhere, and the freakin' game Isn't even out yet.
