<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img src="http://blogs.popzara.com/media/8/20111119-modern_warfare_3_reviews_02.jpg" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />People love to hate it, but the Call of Duty franchise is successful for a reason. No other first-person shooter has the same flair for visual spectacle in its singleplayer campaign, and few can match its utterly addictive multiplayer. While Call of Duty games have become formulaic at this point, as evidenced by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's muddled narrative and at times frustrating design, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have refined and polished the Modern Warfare experience to produce the best of the series with the third installment. <br /><br />Modern Warfare 3 comes to us by way of an older engine, but still looks great. Sure, it's not among the very best out there nowadays, but it performs well. At any given time the screen appears ready to burst with effects and visual madness. Entire battles are waged before you; buildings burn and crumble while a steady flow of explosions batter your senses. This is Call of Duty, and Modern Warfare 3 collects these moments of boom in abundance, presenting them in all their 60 frames-per-second glory. <br /><br />Modern Warfare 3's singleplayer campaign hits many of the same highs and lows as its predecessors. Amazing setpieces serve as backdrops for giant firefights yet again. This is no understatement. Few games retain the crazy roller coaster pace that this does level after level, with brief moments to breathe set between the next eruption of gunplay. The shooting feels extremely responsive and well-tuned, and the battlegrounds challenge your awareness at all times. You're always given different situations that mix-up the gameplay just enough to keep things interesting. The game presents a formidable challenge, as always, on the Hardened and Veteran settings – something that the more hardcore players will want to delve into. <br /><br />Still, Modern Warfare 3's campaign suffers from a run of the mill story and the patented Call of Duty monster closet syndrome, a common shooter ailment that occurs when infinitely spawning enemies pour from around corners, doors and stairs without end. At several points enemies even appear to completely disregard their own safety if it means they can run past your allies and just shoot you in the face. The story is difficult to follow as usual, and while it does wrap up the arc begun by the previous Modern Warfare games, it isn't ultimately all that interesting or satisfying. Moments of emotional weight fell flat as I found it difficult to muster up feelings of sadness about the death of one named soldier after witnessing the countless deaths of hundreds of other Americans. <br /><br />If singleplayer is good, then Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer is fantastic. Like the other Call of Duty games before it, this entry pulls you in with its persistent leveling system and frantic combat. All of the sixteen new maps are fun to play and, with a whole new slew of challenges to complete, rewards constantly pop up and keep you hooked with the next little endorphin rush. No matter whether I play for five minutes or five hours, multiplayer in Modern Warfare 3 always makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. <br /><br /><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/063/063810/img_8716847.html"><img border="0" src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/121/1211824/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-20111109021817707-000.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the rewards you're constantly unlocking are killstreaks and perks—series stand-bys—which are a few great examples of how Modern Warfare 3 refines the series. You still unlock weapons by leveling up, but weapons also have levels as well. Leveling up a gun adds Weapon Proficiencies, which are essentially perks for your weapon. These proficiencies take things like the hip fire accuracy perk from the previous games and add it to your weapon unlocks, giving you the ability to focus on other perks when customizing your class. <br /><br />Killstreaks have also been reworked into Strike Packages to bring a better sense of balance and reward to all types of players. You still unlock abilities in Strike Packages by getting kills, but now you can specialize your killstreak rewards so they suit your playstyle. If you're not the type who goes on huge streaks and you're not always watching your kill/death ratio, you can take a Support Strike Package. This package doesn't have rewards that are as offensively-focused as the Assault package, but all kills carry over between spawns. This gives less-skilled players a way to contribute to the fight, and will hopefully give clans and groups ways to better specialize their players into a cohesive team unit. It's a great new feature, and showcases how Call of Duty offers one of the most varied multiplayer shooter experiences around. <br /><br />The controls feel as good as ever, and that same sense of exhilaration and speed that comes from a great round of multiplayer still exists. Like past Call of Duty games, occasional moments where one team totally dominates the other due to Assault Strike Package rewards still happen, but overall this remains a slight annoyance when weighed against the rest of the multiplayer package. <br /><br />New modes like Kill Confirmed also help keep things from feeling like just more of the same. While lone-wolf players still have Team Deathmatch free-for-all and numerous other older modes, Kill Confirmed changes how the game plays, encouraging team work in ways Modern Warfare didn't previously offer. In this mode, everyone drops a dog tag when they're slain. To get points, you have to not only kill the person, but also collect their tag (you can deny kills by collecting the tags of your allies before the enemy does). The results in an entirely new dynamic, where players must coordinate, play as a team, and attempt to use the dog tags as lures for enemy players. <br /><br />Combine Kill Confirmed with modes like Team Defender (where each team attempts to hold onto one flag for as long as they can), new private match modes (which you can tweak and customize yourself), as well as many returning favorites, and you have a multiplayer experience you can play for months—if not years—on end. The sixteen maps already span a wide array of settings. And with new modes and the need to switch up loadouts you have an extremely dynamic multiplayer suite. An especially tactics-focused player can sink hours of time into creating classes for specific game types, devising battle plans for specific maps, and developing sports like "plays" for their team. <br /><br />On top of the single and multiplayer campaigns, extra time can be sunk into the cooperative Spec Ops mode. This mission mode from the previous Modern Warfare returns with a whole new set of stages that challenge you in a variety of ways. For instance, you might have to quickly take over a plane, while in another mission you'll be tasked with disarming chemical weapons or silently getting past a large number of enemies. Additionally there's a Survival Mode, where two players try to survive against endless waves of increasingly difficult enemies. It's not exactly original (or zombies), but it's a game type that works well in Call of Duty, and can be played over and over again if you care about getting to the top of those oh-so-precious leaderboards. <br /><br />The menus and interface of Modern Warfare 3 on the PC are basically the same – though at launch Elite isn't active. Elite is a service offered by Activision that keeps track of an array of stats, allowing you to compare yourself to other players and see your progress on heat maps. If you pay for the premium services, you also get access to exclusive video content, additional storage space for videos and screenshots, clan support and more. Granted, PC players have been doing things like making clan pages and using other websites to organize and trade info for years now, but the lack of an official centralized hub is disappointing. Elite should make its way to the platform at some point in the future, but for now PC players just don't have access to all the same information as their console counterparts. That being said, I also don't think it's something you'd miss if you've never tried it, and overall Modern Warfare 3's PC gameplay is every bit as exhilarating. Combine this with the speed and precision of mouse-and-keyboard controls and you have a crazy, fast-paced title that PC shooter fans shouldn't pass on. <br /><br /><b>CLOSING COMMENTS</b><br />Despite its flaws, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 takes the fantastic series we’ve come to love over the years and iterates on it with great success. The multiplayer is hands-down the best it has ever been, with more features, more modes and a ton of new levels. The singleplayer campaign and Spec Ops mode add value to the overall package, creating something that may not be perfect, but is too damn addicting to pass up.</span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img height="400" src="http://www.hdwallpapers.in/walls/battlefield_3_game_2011-wide.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />It delivers scorching multiplayer, fitting of its decade-long pedigree of famously expansive big-team battles, but stumbles over a generic single-player campaign that feels like a different game. <br /><br />While DICE may not deliver a memorable story here, it doesn't need to when Battlefield 3's online warfare raises every bar imaginable, delivering one of the best multiplayer experiences of the year. I doubt Battlefield purists will complain much about the campaign, honestly; I know you're enlisting in this battle to bring down entire armies online. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the beaches of Kharg Island to the hills of Damavand Peak, Battlefield 3's multiplayer maps provide an immediate sense of scale. Everything about their design screams size, personalization, and the need to take creative initiative to succeed. Choose to pop headshots from the prone position, spin barrel rolls in a jet outfitted with personal unlocks, or see how many dog tags you can knife from your opponents; Battlefield 3's multiplayer is about the freedom of choice. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The online fight feels like a geography lesson (in a good way). Depending on the game mode, each map utilizes a different area or shifts wider and wider as gameplay progresses. You might not see half of a map like Caspian Border or Seine Crossing during your first few Rush matches. Yes, certain areas feel empty and repeated map elements like shipping crates conjure deja vu, but the sense of scope is exhilarating. Where many online shooters teach you the nooks and crannies of every map, Battlefield 3 is a wide sandbox that encourages variety and exploration. Battlefield 3 shines in matches with 63 other players, where every bullet has a new enemy's name on it. <br /><br /><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14209865/img_8688858.html"><img border="0" src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/121/1210387/battlefield-3-20111023103833763-000.jpg" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Running to the front lines.</span><br /><br />Is the gameplay balanced? Battlefield 3's online teeter-totter comes down to personal preference. I've been pinned down at my spawn point in Operation Metro by a dozen, well-stocked snipers and I've taken over an entire conquest map single-handedly. I'm no Maverick in a jet, so I learned to rain down hellfire from a chopper. For any class or tactic that doesn't work, like a painter's palette, Battlefield 3 offers alternatives. All four streamlined classes (Soldier, Engineer, Assault, and Recon) get their own problem-solving unlocks, so leveling each one is paramount to sitting on top of the leaderboards. <br /><br />Battlefield 3's rewards and progression will keep you coming back to its online rumble for a long time. From adding heat-seeking missiles to an Anti-Aircraft Tank to simply changing camouflage, there's always a carrot dangling just out of reach -- if you can wrangle the score to earn it. While the newly implemented Team Deathmatch modes encourage high kills and low deaths, Battlefield remains a team-based game where you can sit atop the scoreboard no matter how many times you've died. Heal an injured teammate, resupply a sniper, or make sure a tank gets fixed up, Battlefield is about working towards the greater good and it's just as refreshing now as it was in 2002 -- all while looking outstanding on PC. <br /><br />From sun flares to smoke bursting from a collapsing building, Battlefield 3's Frostbite 2 engine provides marvelous visuals. It performs admirably on lowered settings, but for anyone who's doubled up on their NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580s, Battlefield 3provides a gorgeous spectrum of environments speckled with detail to brag about. Nighttime elements present a stark intensity, with glowing fluorescent signs dotting the cityscape and street lights blinding you from seeing enemies. The waves crashing on a beach below a late-game villa are mesmerizing -- as is the simple scrub brush dotting maps like Operation Firestorm. At maximum settings, Battlefield 3 looks stunning.<br /><br /><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14209865/img_8688862.html"><img border="0" src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/121/1210387/battlefield-3-20111023103839329-000.jpg" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Nighttime provides stark contrasts.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The engine isn't perfect by any means. I encountered prone legs jutting through walls, saw snipers half-buried in mountainsides, watched my dead body stick through the hood of a jeep, and even noticed a story character float in a straight line from point A to point B, walls be damned. I've seen flower pots float in midair, noticed AI soldiers in their shooting position long after death, and I somehow committed suicide by running over the lip of a crater. These glitches are annoying, but they don't break the game. But they do break the immersion of the story and in the case of an undeserved multiplayer suicide, cause unneeded frustration. <br /><br />While longtime fans know Battlefield as a multiplayer experience, its campaign and cooperative experiences can't be ignored. For those of you more interested in the single-player campaign than multiplayer, definitely take note. Whereas both Battlefield: Bad Company games added a story underwritten with humor, Battlefield 3 takes a more serious path. Its tale of global threats reads like twenty years of military fiction thrown in a blender and turned into a checklist. WMDs? Check. Russians? Uh huh. Insurgents tucked into Middle Eastern alleyways? Yup. It's all there and woven into levels through the recollections of Sergeant James Blackburn during an interrogation (didn't we see this in Call of Duty: Black Ops?). There's inherent tension in the threat of a terrorist attack, but Battlefield 3's campaign feels like well-trodden ground. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14209865/img_8688868.html"><img border="0" src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/121/1210387/battlefield-3-20111023103837899-000.jpg" /></a><br /><br />In campaign, you can't fly 'em.<br /><br />Battlefield 3's campaign does hit some memorable moments (especially in the graphics department), but as a whole it's trite and frustrating. The campaign jams Battlefield 3's multiplayer into a linear box where freedom of choice gets thrown out a non-destructible window. There are only a few buildings to blow holes in, barely any vehicles to take the wheel of, and quicktime events adorn enemy encounters in almost every level. While you can literally crash a helicopter on an opponent's head while parachuting to safety if you so choose in multiplayer, campaign makes you hit spacebar at just the right moment to avoid getting punched -- they're two different games. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The co-op missions surround the events of the campaign, yet feel more enjoyable as individual levels. Working with a teammate leads to more creative approaches of attacks, though the same AI frustrations are in place. While opening doors and during other set animations, AI enemies gain invulnerability. They also have an uncanny ability to pick you out of the crowd. Even while using an AI teammate as cover -- not standard operating procedure, I know -- enemies still find you. <br /><br />Additionally, most levels feature a bottleneck where death hits out of the blue. Whether it's a grenade exploding without an indicator, a blast from an unseen enemy, or late-game quicktime event that introduces a new button, the campaign and co-op levels are a minefield of frustration -- especially when cranking the difficulty up to hard. All told, it's a brief affair -- I burned through the single-player portion in under six hours, the co-op content adds another two or three.<br /><br />CLOSING COMMENTS</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />When you shut down Battlefield 3 and let the Frostbite 2-powered dust settle, it certainly has some problems. But DICE’s adoration of and expertise with the online experience permeates every aspect of its multiplayer.

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year FIFA consolidated its reputation as the pre-eminent football video game, but nothing wilts faster than laurels rested upon. That said, a pitfall awaiting such annual franchises is the pressure to innovate simply for the sake of it, to make this year's iteration substantially different from the last. And so this year FIFA retrns with a glitzy marquee of new gameplay features and innumerable tweaks.<br /><br />Thankfuly, the much-hyped trinity of Player Impact Engine, Precision Dribbling and Tactical Defending wasn't empty bluster or beguiling hucksterism on EA's behalf. Individually, each feature quietly revolutionises the game's already-solid gameplay for the better. Yet taken together, they radically reshape the game. <br /><br />First up, tactical defending perhaps poses the biggest challenge to veteran fans of the series. Since the release of the demo it's been divisive and has more than a few naysayers. Replacing the 'pressurise' defensive system, wherein you could launch fullbacks like Tomahawk missiles, tactical defending is a much more sophisticated approach to defending and ultimately it engenders games with a more authentic rhythm. Instead of bludgeoning teams with an overwhelming tide of pressure that requires little skill, you use the defensive cornerstones of 'contain' and 'jockey' to marshall the opposition when you lose the ball. If done correctly you'll be able to restrict the other team's movement, eventually forcing mistakes. It's more engaging, and you actually have more to do than ever before when you're not in possession.<br /><br />Whilst in previous games tackling was an ever-dependable tactic to regain possession speedily, in <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/106/106070.html">FIFA 12</a> tackling is, as it should be, a last defence. You have to decide expertly when to stick out a leg. Mistime it fractionally and you'll be left in the wake of a gloating winger as he scampers towards goal. So whenever possible, stay on your feet or you'll get brutally punished.<br /><br />Tactical defending schools you in the admittedly less glamourous part of the game. It rewards you for being more defensively minded, for marking your man, and for maintaining your shape while those around you lose theirs. And while that might not be as immediately exciting as dancing around defenders with Messi, it does significantly alter the tempo of matches. Games open up, allowing passages of play much closer to the real thing, and as consequence you can be much more creative going forward.</span><br />
<div class="imageInline" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 480px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/119/1195975/fifa-soccer-12-20110923045622105.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px;" width="480" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the curmudgeons out there resistant to change, you can switch back to the 'pressure' system of yesteryear. But once you adapt to tactical defending you can't go back. Last year's system seems crude by comparison, stifling the flow of matches and suffocating skill.<br /><br />This heightened realism is only augmented further by Precision Dribbling, which is arguably FIFA 12's greatest addition. Subtle and seemingly insignificant, precision dribbling is, when mastered, an indispensable part of the gameplay. Basically, it enables you to control the ball deftly in close quarters but it really has a wealth of uses.<br /><br />Despite its name, dropping into Precision Dribbling (which can be done by manually pressing L1/LB) allows you do so much beyond just dribble. Of course it doesn't instantly transform every player into Iniesta (which would be nice but ultimately unrealistic). But use it sparingly and discerningly and it can buy you that extra half a yard to unleash a shot from the edge of the box or thread a defence-dissecting through-ball.<br /><br />The final part of the much-hyped trinity is the Player Impact Engine, a complex algorithm two-years in the making, which simulates player collisions with unparalleled realism. And for the most part, it makes good on this ambitious promise. Occasionally it produces anatomically-improbable encounters or some faintly-erotic embraces in the middle of the park but such mishaps are rare and entirely excusable, since what it gives the game is immeasurable. Yes, I'm repeating myself, but it invests players with almost-tangible mass, so when they collide they react, for the most part, like bodies crashing at speed, reacting according to velocity and the angle of impact. <br /><br />The only potential problem I experienced was the inability of referees to correctly interpret some of these sophisticated collisions. Instead of easily dividing challenges into 'foul' or 'no foul', the Player Impact Engine adds a whole spectrum of ambiguity into the mix, and the ref makes mistakes. But this is a problem not exclusive to <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/106/106070.html">FIFA 12</a>, its an issue inherent to football itself. What would a game of football be without the odd suspect decision to rail against? Accidental or intentional, it once again brings the sim closer to the reality.<br /><br />In addition to such major gameplay changes, there are myriad new features in the new FIFA 12 but some of the standout ones include improvements to the Career mode. For those who spend hours in the manager's dugout, the drama is said to be much closer to the real thing. And while that may be the case, it certainly teaches you to play careful attention to the statistics<br /><br />For most, progress is tediously slow, but player logic has been improved and the game does its best to simulate various aspects of the modern game – from the drama of transfer deadline day activity to the petulant whimsy of the modern-day footballer. A scouting system and youth academy have even been thrown in for good measure too, but all of it is displayed in such an insipid manner, in layers of static menus, that it can be a fairly bland, sterile experience.<br /><br />EA Sports Football Club promises to provide players with challenges ripped right from that week's newspaper back pages. Whether this is a successful feature, I can't say at this moment because the servers don't go live until after launch, but if EA supports this feature all-year round – as it has done with previous online features – with innovative scenarios it really could prove to be a wonderful addition. Only time will tell.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Presentation is another one of FIFA 12's many strengths. Everything is slick and sumptuous, from the team selection screens to the brilliantly-polished graphics that preface each match and FIFA's access to official licensing means it remains unrivalled in terms of authenticity. From the stellar Barcelona to the humble Accrington Stanley, teams look the way they should. The likenesses of the top players are at times uncanny, though they do suffer from dead-eye syndrome from time to time. Stadiums and lighting effects help sell the illusion too but crowds, while convincing from a distance, look suspiciously-related when seen in close-up shots.<br /><br />Just one of the subsidiary modes is Ultimate Team – wherein you earn, buy, sell, and trade players in the hope building your very own Galácticos – is available for the very first time at launch. Since its launch with FIFA 09 it's been a huge hit, with millions of in-game card packs being purchased. So it's no surprise that it's been included on the disc this year. You'll start with a fairly meagre bunch of players, and through hard graft or by splashing actual money you can improve the quality of your team. Previously only available as post-release paid DLC, the inclusion of Ultimate Team makes FIFA 12 even better value.<br /><br />But no matter what mode you choose to experience in FIFA 12 you still get the same incredible gameplay.<br /><br />CLOSING COMMENTS<br /><br />Thankfully, FIFA 12 has not inovated simply for the sake of it. The gameplay innovations greatly improve the way FIFA plays. Matches unfold with a more authentic tempo, taking it much closer to the real thing. Revolution? Evolution? Who really cares. More importantly, is FIFA 12 the best football game in the world? I don't think so. But I'd put it in my top one.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why? Because of the rival. Have a look at our <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/319892/reviews/fifa-12-review/" style="color: #cc0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">FIFA 12 review</a> and you'll see another fantastic follow up, with EA Sports snapping up some big name features <i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">and</i> having the balls to shake up its winning formula to incorporate them.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems the last thing that Konami can do is rely on a bit of complacency from the champions.</span></div>

Visually (and without too much gushing), stadium environments are often close to awe-inspiring. There's a real quality to Konami's lighting system, which really shines in floodlit night matches.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Where FIFA 12 might be a bit too bright and clean at times to trick the brain fully, PES 2012 has a slightly darker tone and makes better use of shadow to add more weight and dimension to the stands, the players and pitch itself, which can look comparatively flat in FIFA.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking down the pitch towards the far stand for a goal kick is the best example of this. We actually felt a swell of nervous pride when we took in the scene which felt so real, and it's all thanks to Konami getting the lighting spot on.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Player likeness is similarly impressive in places - although, like its rival, PES still understandably pays the most attention to its top earners - with certain stars like Gerard and Ferdinand arguably looking more real in the Konami team than they do in the EA camp.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having said that, it comes down to a matter of taste and for every PES model that knocks the socks off FIFA's effort, the latter will come back with a similarly superior doppelganger elsewhere.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continuing the aesthetic praise, PES 2012 takes full advantage of its Champions League partnership with a full-on television intro to the tournament (including that choral piece that you make up words for) that just <i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">feels</i> really good. All the Champions League trimmings are present on the pitch as well with players marching out towards the official black and white, fluttering centre circle flag.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's simple but well executed visual advances like all of the above - along with returning visual features like motion blur in replays - that make PES a proper alternative to FIFA at face value.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately graphical prowess doesn't quite hold up when players actually start to move. There's a clear lack of animations in PES 2012 compared to its opponent. Player's simply don't have the same range of movement as in FIFA and it has a few knock-on effects.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
LOAD OF DRIBBLE</span></h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dribbling itself becomes robotic when tearing into a sprint. Rather than smooth regular strides players seem to run jolt their sprint, with their legs speeding up in short bursts. This doesn't have an adverse effect on the sprint itself, players don't stutter forward, but their leg movement doesn't really fit the pace of the run itself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">There's also less freedom of movement generally, with PES players apparently unable to take quite so many touches as their rivals, turning circles are never quite tight enough. We never really felt like we had as much nuanced control as we did in FIFA.<br /><br />Add to that to the PES brand floaty finish to player's movement across the turf, which hasn't changed since last year, and dribbling can sometimes be a touch unwieldy.<br /><br />Tackles and collisions also feel shallow. Having gotten used to the new FIFA physics system, the PES engine instantly looks outdated with basic stumble animations triggering upon impact.<br /><br />Most players feel incredibly weak on the ball to begin with as well. They seem to hit the deck with the slightest of brushes and the referees are incredibly harsh.<br /><br />This could be more of a quirk of the engine, though, something that needs to be gotten used to all over again rather than an out and out criticism. The amount of fouls you'll concede at first is frustrating but actually just means that you have to work on your patience and timing to get the ball fairly. Still, we would have liked a bit more muscle to our men.<br /><br />When it comes to player AI though, things start looking up. Team-mates often outdo their FIFA opponents as far as intelligence is concerned, especially up front. Strikers are much more willing to make the darting runs through defence that we crave from FIFA.</span><br />

This also applies to freekicks and throw-ins so that you can actually put players where you want them rather than helplessly delivering a ball knowing that the opposition is going to cut it out the moment it leaves your foot.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a welcome addition but one we didn't have to use all that much, which is testament to the standard AI.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goalkeepers, however, pale in comparison. As in PES 2011, it's almost as if someone's told the men between the sticks that they get more points for a parry. No matter how soft, straight forward or predictable a shot on goal is the keeper will palm it away in a frenzy rather than make the easy catch. We're not exaggerating when we say we've gone whole games without seeing the keeper hold on to the ball.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're just taking a look at our review of PES 2011 and realising how much we're having to repeat ourselves when it comes to the little characteristics that mean PES still doesn't feel as solid or even finished as FIFA.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having said all that there is a slightly different quality to PES this year that will spread smiles across the faces of the faithful. Where last year's effort tried to go full-on sim by denying players any assistance whatsoever, this year assistance returns as standard with options to remove it should you choose (makes sense).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What this means is that PES 2012 has the frantic edge thanks to parry-happy keepers, slightly slippery dribbling and shots that can float in from just about anywhere (we've forced some delightful tips over the cross bar from the centre circle) or be punched in at close range. At the same time though it lends a helping hand to curb too much frustration.</span><br />

But we quite like the level of assistance in those areas though since there are other elements of the game that require more from you anyway - mainly those that hold the power gauge in strict regard.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Shooting then is as difficult as it has been with every new edition of PES we've picked up in recent years and the passing system offers so much freedom that you'll be able to make your own through-balls from scratch with the correct direction on the stick and enough power with A/X.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
ROLE PLAYING AWAY</span></h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Off the pitch the highlight is, of course, Master League where players take on a team of no-names and buy, sell, train and play their way to world-beating stature. Now Master League comes as part of the 'Football Life' suite (imagine our terror when we couldn't see the ML logo at first glance) which also includes Become a Legend and Club Boss modes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The former sees you take on one player throughout a journey from amateur zero to international hero whereas Club Boss tasks you with the much more sober task of guiding a club financially.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of them come complete with proper cutscenes - including Master League - which is the big addition and a novelty, even if it is a bit ham fisted in some places.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coaches and players approach you at your desk to give advice, make complaints or just have a natter about what's going on and sometimes can be quite useful and satisfying. Our right hand man, for example takes us through suggested tactics before every game on a whiteboard and we had to gamble with our response to a player who had a deep desire for the number 10 shirt.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's the kind of feature we've seen in other titles and it has the same hiccups. Anyone who's played a THQ wrestling game in the past will be familiar with the way in which character models often make awkward motions while subtitles replaces actual words. Dialogue itself can be a bit unnatural as well.</span><br />

At the best of times it brings more situations to deal with throughout Master League and, at worst, it won't distract too much from PES' most loved mode, which still isn't rivalled somehow by the FIFA equivalent.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PES 2012 then has a combination of qualities from the series' recent history. It's definitely a step away from the hardcore simulation that was attempted last year and more towards the PS2 era of flairsome fun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love the graphical style of PES 2012 in part but really can't get along with the animation set, which we feel is lacking. Add the lack of licenses, dire commentary and mono-cheer crowd - three things that we've given up complaining about in this series - and Konami falls just short of recreating the beauty of the game.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mechanically while AI is a step ahead of the rival, goalkeepers remain dumb, midfielders weak and referees harsh. Those elements, along with some crazy shot ability here and there do make some contribution to the classic PES feel but altogether 2012 feels cheaper than the ever more luxurious FIFA.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the slight step back to classic PES, the fun factor becomes a more valid excuse once more but FIFA is far from the spark-free stick in the mud it once was.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to picking sides, you've all played the demos and you've probably already made up your minds. If you love PES then you'll love PES 2012. For us though, FIFA remains the footie game of choice at lunch.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />There's something about Child of Eden that makes people shut up and fixate on the screen. It could be because you're entranced by the colors bursting artfully in tandem with upbeat techno music or just the thought of, "Holy crap, am I tripping right now?" Either way, this is a title that people take notice of and for good reason. Child of Eden, a spiritual successor to Tetsuya Mizuguchi's cult sensation Rez, is an incredibly satisfying time, but it's one that can be over shortly after it begins. <br /><br />Child of Eden truly is an experience unlike any other this generation (save maybe Rez HD of course). The story doesn't really matter or make much sense, but basically you're saving a girl and the Internet, which is now known as Eden. Child of Eden is essentially a first-person, on-rails shooter. You're not actually killing anything; you're purifying databases full of corrupt information. It's just you, the reticle, the music and the visuals -- a simple, yet effective formula. It's difficult to explain why it's so cool, but once you get your hands on Child of Eden, everything will make sense.<br /><br /><img height="360" src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/eden_3.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />Each level (or archive) outlines a specific part of life on Earth. Beauty is comprised of plants and butterflies, Evolution includes a whale transforming into a bird, and Passion is more of an industrial paradise filled with machinery. The neon art style alone is something to gawk at, but the incredible score ties each level together perfectly. This is one of those games where the songs got stuck in my head for days and I wanted to play the game just to hear the soundtrack again. The sights and sounds work together to place you in a sort of happy trance. I felt my troubles melt away and the only thing I had to do was explore Eden.<br /><br />You eliminate impurities plaguing Eden by shooting in two main ways: rapid fire shots or a lock-on gun where you select targets and then release a button (flick your wrist if you're using Kinect) to exterminate them. There are multiple control schemes for both a regular controller and Kinect, so you can find what's most comfortable for you.<br /><br />I've heard people dismiss Kinect as a viable control option because there's no vibration feedback. After trying both control options for Child of Eden, I found that I preferred Kinect's superior responsiveness. Yes, Kinect makes navigating Eden's databases far easier. In fact, the analog sticks seem clunky compared to swiftly moving your hand around the screen.<br /><br />As for the lack of vibration, I ended up becoming my own feedback by swaying to the beat. I'm sure I looked ridiculous dancing back and forth and flinging my right arm about, but I was having a damn good time. <br /><br /><img height="360" src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/child_of_eden.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />Don't get me wrong, you can't just dance around and expect to make it through Eden. Enemies will fire projectiles that can only be eliminated by using the rapid fire gun. The only trouble is with all the colors flying around, sometimes I didn't notice when enemies shot at me. In an effort to help players out, there's a incoming shot warning similar to grenade alerts in other shooters, but there's so much going on that it's not always helpful. If I ever was in trouble, I turned to my Euphoria bombs, which devastate enemies and made me feel like I was on a roller coaster ride. (I had to throw my arms up over my head to unleash it with Kinect.) <br /><br />The trick to success in Eden is to increase your multiplier by using the lock-on gun. Achieving this seems simple -- you'll need to lock-on to eight targets and fire on them in time with the beat. However, this is easier said than done because while you're trying to achieve perfect combos, enemies will fire upon you and you'll be forced to switch back to rapid fire. It took me a while to get the hang of quickly switching back and forth between the guns, but it's really satisfying when you do manage to get perfect multipliers one after the other. <br /><br />Rez purists will be happy to know that as you progress in <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/143/14354640.html">Child of Eden</a>, the archives get increasingly difficult. Once you complete the game on Normal, you'll unlock Hard mode. While the difficulty is there for those who want it, Child of Eden also offers a mode where you can relax and enjoy levels without the fear of dying. It should be noted that this god mode, titled "Feel Eden," can only be used on levels you've already unlocked. So, if you were hoping to ease someone you love into the game this way, you'll need to unlock everything yourself first. <br /><br /><img height="360" src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/02/beauty_area1_1.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />My biggest complaint about the journey is that it's over way before you want it to be; I beat Child of Eden in a few hours. Still, it's clear that the team has made efforts to keep players entranced -- archives only unlock after you earn a specific amount of stars, which you gather by either replaying old levels or completely rocking at nabbing those perfect multipliers.<br /><br />There are other fun features as well, such as choosing a creature from each level for Lumi's garden (aka the title screen). New art styles, pictures, partial music videos and more all unlock after you play. Leaderboards are another good incentive to return to Eden, and once you complete all five main archives, a sixth opens up that serves as a challenge mode where the objective is to survive as many levels as you can. The music here is a surprising treat -- it starts off as rock and eventually transitions back into Mizuguchi's traditional techno.<br /><br />CLOSING COMMENTS<br /><br />It's rare for me to play a game and feel nothing but happiness, but that's what happened when I stepped in to save Eden. In a way, Child of Eden touched my soul. Yes, that sounds cheesy, but it's true. There's one downside -- even though it costs 50 bucks, Child of Eden can be beaten in only a few hours. While this is a fault, there are lots of unlockables and leaderboards to keep people's interest once the campaign is over. This is a game everyone should experience, especially with Kinect.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jet Aircraft are powered by jet engines and move much faster as compared to the propeller-powered aircraft. You can see a jet aircraft at a certain place before your sound can even reach there! Yes undoubtedly some of the jet aircraft even move faster than the speed of sound. The concept of jet aircraft was first given by two engineers, Frank Whittle of UK and Hans von Ohain of Germany.<br />Top 10 fastest jets are as follows:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

This jet comes with a sad but successful history with it. It is produces by USA and was a research project with ability to cross Mach 3. Lt.Col. Frank K. “Pete” Everest in November 1955 was the first one to test this jet and he flew this thing above Mach 3 but unfortunately, this took his life as well. It was indeed a despondent incident. Starbuster is powered by two-chamber XLR25 sea level thrust throttle-able engine.</div>

Stepping off a boat in the shoes of illegal immigrant Niko Bellic as he arrives in Liberty City at the start of Grand Theft Auto IV, you can tell immediately that Rockstar North's latest offering is something quite special. Yes, this is another GTA game in which you'll likely spend the bulk of your time stealing cars and gunning down cops and criminals, but it's also much more than that. GTAIV is a game with a compelling and nonlinear storyline, a great protagonist who you can't help but like, and a plethora of online multiplayer features in addition to its lengthy story mode. The PC version adds a customizable radio station and a video editor to the package, and also ups the multiplayer count from 16 to 32 players. It's not all good news, though; the game suffers from some noticeable performance issues even on rigs that far exceed the unreasonably high recommended system specifications, and you need to be signed in to Windows Live to save your progress in the single-player game. This should have been the best GTA game yet, but it's inferior to its console counterparts.</div>

One of the many things that set GTAIV apart from its predecessors is Liberty City, which is more convincing as a living, breathing urban environment than anything you've seen in a game before, and which bears little resemblance to its namesake in 2001's GTAIII. Liberty's diverse population believably attempts to go about its daily business, seemingly unaware that several criminal factions are at war in the city. Niko has no such luck. He's compelled to start working for one of the factions shortly after arriving, when he learns that his cousin Roman has some potentially fatal gambling debts. Niko's military experience makes him a useful freelancer for employers in the business of killing, and though his reluctance to carry out their orders is often apparent, he does whatever is asked of him in the hope that completing missions for other people will ultimately give him the means to complete his own.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(196, 196, 196); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(196, 196, 196); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(196, 196, 196); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(196, 196, 196); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But Niko doesn't have to do everything that's asked of him. On several occasions as you play through his story, you'll be presented with decisions that afford you the option of doing what you think is right rather than blindly following instructions. You don't necessarily have to kill a target if he or she promises to disappear, but you have to weigh the risk of your employer finding out against the possibility that the person whose life you spare might prove useful later in the game, or even have work for you in the form of bonus missions. To say anything more specific on this subject would be to risk spoiling one of GTAIV's most interesting new features, but suffice it to say that every decision you make has consequences, and you'll likely want to play through the game at least twice to see how the alternatives unfold.</div>

Grand Theft Auto IV's story mode can be beaten in less than 30 hours, and there are so many optional activities and side missions to take part in along the way that you can comfortably double that number if you're in no hurry. The majority of the story missions task you with making deliveries and/or killing people, and play out in much the same way as those in previous games. With that said, most of the missions are a lot easier this time around, partly because Niko is a more agile and efficient killer than any of his predecessors, and partly because the LCPD seemingly has better things to do than hunt down an illegal immigrant who's gunning down undesirables all over the city. Some of the more imaginative missions sprinkled throughout the story include a kidnapping, a bank heist, and a job interview. The cinematic cutscenes associated with story missions are superbly presented and are the sequences in which the game's characters really shine. Without exception, the characters you encounter benefit from great animation, great voice work, and superbly expressive faces. They're not always so impressive when they join you on a mission and refuse to do what they're supposed to (for example, not following you on an escort mission, or failing to negotiate a doorway). Nevertheless, these problems are few and far between, and they're made less painful by the new "replay mission" option that you're presented with whenever you fail.</div>

New abilities in Niko's arsenal include scaling fences and walls anywhere he can get a foothold, shimmying along ledges, and, most importantly, taking cover behind objects. The ability to stick close to walls, parked cars, and the like at the touch of a button makes GTAIV's gunplay a huge improvement over that in previous games, and, in tandem with the new targeting system, it also makes it a lot easier. Enemies are rarely smart enough to get to you while you're in cover, and given that you can lock your targeting reticle on to them even when they're hidden, all you have to do is wait for them to poke their heads out and then pick them off with a minimum of effort. Locking on to enemies targets their torso by default, but you can use the right analog stick to fine-tune your aim and kill them more quickly with a headshot or two. Playing without using the lock-on feature is viable if you're using a mouse and keyboard, but makes things more difficult on the Xbox 360 controller. You'll need to master the technique at some point, though, so that you can shoot blindly at enemis from positions of cover when you dare not poke your own head out to line up the shot.</div>

Given the amount of trouble that you get into as you play through the story mode, it's inevitable that the police are going to get involved from time to time, even when their presence isn't a scripted feature of your mission. Liberty City's boys in blue are quick to respond when you get flagged with a wanted level of between one and six stars, but they're not nearly as tough to deal with as their counterparts in previous GTA games. They don't drive as quickly when pursuing you, they rarely bother to set up roadblocks, and you'll need to blow up practically an entire city block before the FIB (that's not a typo) show up. Furthermore, you're given an unfair advantage in the form of your GPS system; when you're not using it to plot a valid route to any waypoint of your choosing, it doubles as a kind of police scanner. Any time you have a brush with the law, the GPS shows you the exact locations of patrol cars and cops on foot in your area, and highlights the circular area (centered on your last-known whereabouts) where they're concentrating their search. To escape, all you need to do is move outside the circle and then avoid being seen for 10 seconds or so, which is often best achieved by finding a safe spot and just sitting there. It's not a bad system in theory, but in practice it makes dodging the law a little too easy, especially when your wanted level is low and the search area is small.</div>

When you're not running missions for criminals, taking part in street races, stealing cars to order, or randomly causing trouble, you'll find that there are plenty of opportunities to unwind in Liberty City. Some of these optional activities offer tangible rewards that can prove useful in missions later on, whereas others are just a fun way to kill time and take in more of GTAIV's superb humor. For example, you can watch television, listen to numerous radio stations, check out some genuinely funny shows (including some big-name acts) at cabaret and comedy clubs, and use a computer to surf the in-game Internet.</div>

GTAIV's Internet is filled with spoofs of all the kinds of Web sites that you'd only ever look at accidentally or when you know there's no danger of getting caught. Some of them can be found only by clicking on links in spam e-mails, whereas others are advertised prominently on the search page. There's plenty of amusing stuff to find if you spend some time in one of the "TW@" Internet cafes, but the most interesting site by far is an online dating agency through which you can meet women who, if they like your profile, will agree to go on dates with you. Dating and socializing with friends is something you can spend as much or as little of your time doing as you like, and though the people you meet can occasionally be demanding to the point that they become irritating, keeping them happy invariably benefits you in some way.</div>

Keeping friends and dates happy means spending time with them and doing things that they enjoy, and all of them have different personalities. Some friends like to join you for minigames such as tenpin bowling, pool, or darts, whereas others prefer to go out for a meal, get drunk, or take in a show. Of course, dates are much fussier than regular friends, and their opinions of you are influenced not only by whether you pick them up on time, where you take them, and whether you try your luck when dropping them at home, but also by a number of much more subtle factors. Dates will comment on things like the car you drive, how you drive it, and the clothes you wear. They'll even notice if you wear the same outfit two dates in a row, though not all of them will be bothered by it. The rewards that you get when another character likes you enough vary depending on who it is. Without wishing to give away specifics, befriending a lawyer can prove useful if you're having trouble with the cops, for example, and having a nurse on your friends list can literally be a lifesaver.</div>

and competitive real time strategy games out there today. It incorporates the same elements that made the first StarCraft game successful and puts in nice additions and an all new graphics engine. Plus diverse customization tools allow all sorts of maps and even different game types to be created. These maps can be shared online so people can use them online as well. Although the LAN component is no more, the refined battle.net interface makes it very easy to play against others that have a similar level of experience.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;

video gaming consoles are likely to have a few military shooter titles because these types of games have online features where players are pitted against one another often in teams to eliminate the opposing side. Call of Duty: Black Ops received positive acclaim from many gaming critics because of its intense gameplay and the fact that 24 players can participate in a game. There is also a Wii version that also received positive reviews because of its competitive multi-player.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>World of Warcraft</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjw7mGdJbYmlcnFPLgYO-a2u-G-H6r5axMuXUWm0jm-u_b0IDZ" /></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">World of Warcraft redefined the whole MMORPG genre because there is simply so much to do in World of Warcraft that it is easy to use this game as a getaway from reality.

This game is unique in the sense that it leverages the social networking features of Facebook to make the game rather addictive. With millions of users visiting Facebook every day, FarmVille took off very quickly since it was introduced as a new concept of social gaming. Connecting and interacting with other people is beneficial to the game and it continues to evolve as people start competing online in coming up with a thriving farm. iPhone users can play FarmVille as well.

After the jump, we count down our favorite movies of the year, from the mind-bending 'Inception' to the movie that may have defined our generation, 'The Social Network.'</i></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

Granted, Tim Burton's refashioning of Lewis Carroll's tale lacked some narrative focus, and it probably didn't need to be in 3-D. But the film is visually striking, Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen and her gigantic head (not to mention those frog servants) had us in stitches, and Mia Wasikowska is lovely as an Alice who only wants to live her own life. Just please don't make us watch Johnny Depp break-dance again. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Patricia J.

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">We know what you're thinking: 'Twilight'? Really?! But before you judge, hear us out: While it didn't exactly reinvent 'Citizen Kane,' at the end of the day, 'Eclipse' was a pretty fun time at the movies. Sure, it had its fair share of 'Twilight' trappings, and we still think Bella would have been better off with Jacob, not Edward. But as an action-thriller, 'Eclipse' totally worked. (The scene in which Bryce Dallas Howard gets her head smashed? Awesome.) If ever there was a time to embrace 'The Twilight Saga,' it would be 2010. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Andy Scott</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Disney took a major gamble by throwing an estimated $170 million at a sequel to a cult 1982 movie that few people have ever seen. Whether it earns back that massive investment remains to be seen, but the overall result is a genuinely exciting, eye-popping, 3-D action flick about a human (Garrett Hedlund) who gets sucked into a sentient computer program while searching for his long-lost father (Jeff Bridges). You can bet that if it does turn a profit, the next installment in the 'TRON' franchise won't take 28 years to come to the screen. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">John Sellers</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">When is a horror film just a little bit "more" of a horror film? When folks like Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio lend their inestimable talents to a crafty new take on a very old story. A charmingly old-fashioned "haunted asylum" thriller on one hand, and a fascinating rumination on the deceptive powers of madness on the other, the film succeeds on equal doses of moody atmosphere, clever storytelling and some powerfully good acting. (Mark Ruffalo is particularly great as DiCaprio's detective partner.) Although it probably won't rank among Mr. Scorsese's all-time best, 'Shutter Island' stands as a testament to the man's love for cinema. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Scott Weinberg</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">This overlooked, low-budget sci-fi gem proves the old adage that less is more. Shot for a reported $15,000 and devoid of flashy special effects or a marquis name, 'Monsters' had to make do instead with a solid story; it documents a romance that blossoms in a Mexico "infected" by (usually unseen) giant squid-like aliens. In the process, like 'District 9' before it, the film provides a neat allegory about a thorny real-world subject (in this case, immigration). --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">JS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

Gibney untangles the double-dealing schemes that made Abramoff Washington's most powerful influence peddler, the scandals that took him down (and some national politicians with him), and the system of Congressional payola he perfected, which continues humming smoothly and fleecing taxpayers in his absence. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">One of the most buzzed-about documentaries of the year grabbed everyone's attention with its creepy trailer and "shh, don't tell" ad campaign. Following three New York City filmmakers and their relationship with a child-painting-prodigy and her Midwest family, the film revealed the new disconnect that exists in relationships forged entirely over social media. Some audiences grew upset that the movie didn't live up to the hype they were promised, and the directors have had to defend their movie from accusations of being staged, but nonetheless, 'Catfish' offers an intimate look at lonely people in America and the weird things they'll do for attention. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Eric Larnick</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

This definitely holds true for Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, who, after highly appealing monster movie 'The Host,' returns with a strange but entirely appealing crime thriller (of sorts). The tale of an overbearing mother who will do anything to clear the name of her son (who has been accused of murder), it's an odd but captivating character study that goes to some weird places but never loses its confident stride. Suffice to say, you've heard lead actress Kim Hye-ja mentioned in early awards banter for very good reason. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">SW</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

After all, as the movie makes clear, the principals haven't been held accountable, and the system of collusion between Wall Street, Washington and academia that made their abuses possible remains firmly in place. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">It's one of this year's best films, and it may also go on to become one of the greatest horror remakes of all time. This Swedish-turned-English-language sensation, about a young boy who befriends a young girl, both of them emotionally tortured for different reasons (he's bullied; she's a vampire), was sweet on the inside and gory on the outside. 'Cloverfield' director Matt Reeves managed to capture a freakish, nostalgic mood with his '80s setting, not to mention stellar performances from his two young stars. The only disappointment was that more people didn't see it. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Erik Davis</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Probably the most divisive film on the list, 'Void' explores the cycle of life and death as an overwhelming, intense series of moments -- graphic sex, traumatic accidents, abortion and birth are all depicted in an unflinching manner -- and that would be enough to confront most viewers. But what makes 'Enter the Void' so revolutionary is the cinematic approach to such human material; told from the out-of-body perspective of a dying, drug-tripping man, the film explores Tokyo nightlife and people's sensory excesses. Its a three-hour-long, psychedelic, colorful look at humanity that's not just a viewing experience, but also a senses-stimulating, hallucinogenic trip. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EL</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">In a year that lacked strong comedies, 'Easy A' was a breath of fresh air and a return to the beloved high school laffers that seemed to die with 'Mean Girls.' The film -- a loose take on 'The Scarlet Letter,' in which a high school student's (Emma Stone) reputation goes sour when she pretends to hook up with boys at her school -- made audiences laugh and smile, and solidified its place as one of the best feel-good comedies of the year. Even better: It finally gave Stone the chance to shine as a charming and -- more importantly -- funny leading lady. (Just watch her sing 'Pocketful of Sunshine' if you don't believe us.) --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Gaby Dunn</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Keeping in the tradition of his previous films, Mike Leigh ('Secrets and Lies,' 'Vera Drake') finds brilliance in an otherwise simple story -- in this case, a year in the life of a happily married couple, ironically named Tom and Gerri. Although Tom and Gerri drive the narrative plot, it's actually their boozing friend, Mary, who steals the show, thanks to a lively -- but mostly devastating -- performance by Lesley Manville. While most Hollywood blockbusters disappointed, this little indie proved to be one of the year's must-see movies. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

Reteaming with Adam McKay, the film follows two polar-opposite cops with only one thing in common: everyone thinks they're a joke. But when they stumble upon an opportunity to finally prove themselves, hilarity ensues, complete with a scene-stealing Michael Keaton, memorable campos by Samuel L. Jackson, Derek Jeter and Dwane Johnson.

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">A farce can court controversy just for the hell of it, or it can earn its notoriety through sheer force of bravery. Chris Morris' 'Four Lions' most certainly falls into the latter category, as it's easily one of the most brazen, intelligent and incendiary comedies of the past several years. Perhaps best described as a "comedy of terror(ist)s," the trenchant and confident flick boldly tackles material that's rarely (if ever) made fun of, and somehow manages to turn a parody about extremist values into an unexpectedly moving tale about the simple and innate cluelessness of the human animal. Destined to be talked about for years to come. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">SW</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

Following wannabe villain Gru (Carell) and his quest to be defeat newbie Victor (Segel), 'Despicable Me' proved to be both adorable and touching, especially when Gru finds a family in three adopted little girls.

Mark Wahlberg is wonderful in the title role, and is supported nicely by Amy Adams, who plays Micky's bartending girlfriend, Charlene.

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">This Aussie crime thriller is too ominous and claustrophobic to be described with cliche terms like "gritty" and "dark." The story of a teenage boy, adopted by his crime-lord relatives, features a cast-load of unnerving, distrustful performances -- from young new-comers to Down Under legends that are finally getting the stateside acclaim they deserve (Jacki Weaver!) -- and the movie only grows in dread as the cops move in and the death toll rises. One of the bleakest, most gripping films of the year, 'Animal Kingdom' never lets you forget that family or no family, life and death is always determined by survival of the fittest. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EL</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Take 'The Hurt Locker' and make it real; there you have 'Restrepo.' Never before has a documentary taken us so close to the war in Afghanistan. You'll jump out of your seat as the mortars go off, the machine guns fire, and the platoon's comrades fall under enemy attack. When the soldiers in the movie talk about their harrowing nightmares, they're not just paying lip service. After you watch, you might just have those nightmares, too. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CJ</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

But in between jokes, audiences also get to see a rare glimpse of Rivers' serious side, with segments on aging in show business, her fallout with 'Tonight Show' host Johnny Carson and her husband's suicide. One of the best documentaries of the year, 'A Piece of Work' will satisfy fans of Rivers' comedy and win over any lingering skeptics. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

The premise -- crusading journalist and hacker team up to expose powerful conspirators -- is familiar. But Lisbeth Salander, with all her psychic damage, cyber-savvy and punk-feminist fury, is an exciting new kind of heroine, and by bringing her to jittery life, Noomi Rapace has become a blazing new international star. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">After wowing critics and audiences in 2007 with 'Gone Baby Gone,' Ben Affleck returned to the director's chair this year to helm 'The Town,' a tense and wonderfully acted story about a bank robber (Affleck) who falls in love with one of his hostages (Rebecca Hall). With thrilling chase scenes and a frighteningly good supporting performance by Jeremy Renner ('The Hurt Locker'), 'The Town' confirmed Affleck's comeback and established him as one Hollywood's most promising directors. Suddenly, this former punchline is on his way to becoming the next Robert Redford. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">If anything, 'I Am Love' was a wonderful platform for the fabulous Tilda Swinton, who once again delivered an Oscar-worthy performance. In this case, she plays a Russian immigrant who marries into a wealthy Italian family, and later, engages in a steamy love affair with her son's business partner. The movie is a tale of passion -- for food, for color and above all things, for love. And with Swinton at the center, 'I Am Love' sucks its audience into a sweeping world of passion and melodrama not seen since the days of Douglas Sirk. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GD</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">This documentary of the true story of Pat Tillman -- the NFL star who was killed by "friendly-fire" in Afghanistan -- is sure to leave audiences angry, upset and confused. As you watch the family's attempts to find out what happened to their son/husband/brother, you'll be shocked to see how the government could cover up what happened to him in his final moments, and you'll feel their frustrations and grief as they watch Tillman's death get turned into media spin for a highly politicized war. The film asks uncomfortable questions, first answering "How did this happen?" in all its depressing truth; however, its the pursuit to discover "Why did this happen?" that will last with you for a long time. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EL</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

'Rabbit Hole'</span></strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">At first (or even second) glance, this may look like just another year-end tearjerker tailor-made for the Oscars. But 'Rabbit Hole' is considerably more than your run-of-the-mill melodrama. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play, and brought to the screen with warmth and great confidence by John Cameron Mitchell ('Hedwig and the Angry Inch'), the film stars Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart as a formerly happy couple who are dealing with the death of their four-year-old son. Obviously it's a "sad" film, but it's also very touching, sincere, bittersweet and (best of all) hopeful. All that without ever going for the push-button moment, the scene-chomping tirade or the trite and obvious cliché. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">SW</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

Directed by Juan Jose Companella, whose 2002 film 'Son of the Bride' was also nominated for an Oscar, 'Secret' is a spellbinding crime-drama about an unsolved murder case and the possible involvement of a corrupt government. Just as one dark secret is realized, another gets in the way, making every second of the film as thrilling as the last. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AR</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Behold the post-modern comic book movie. A superhero movie -- starring characters who get their training from other superhero movies -- has all the exaggerated violence and black comedy that the subject demands, and is one of the few hard-R-rated films in which the excessive language and gratuitous violence is earned. The film features not one, but two show-stealing performances: Nic Cage, whose manic craziness is harnessed pitch-perfectly as vendetta-crazed Big Daddy, and 13-year-old Chloe "Hit Girl" Moretz, who shocked audiences with an action-packed character far older than her age lets on. The comparisons to Jodie Foster in 'Taxi Driver' are well-deserved. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EL</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

The film delves deep into the crumbling education system in the U.S., highlighting the grim, uphill battles that most children in this country face. Think you had it bad in school? You should check out some of these teachers, including the gem who just reads a magazine while kids pass drugs to one another at their desks. This movie doesn't just tell a grim story; it's meant to be an incentive for change. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">CJ</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Old fogeys who couldn't wrap their heads around the 8-bit aesthetic will point to 'SP''s box office as proof that it didn't work. But 'Scott Pilgrim' represents the greatest generational divide on the list; this is the first movie to use the narrative language of video games (and comic books and indie rock, too!) to tell a simple story about young love. No movie took a bigger risk at re-writing the movie narrative, or packed each scene with as much color, sound, clever writing and great acting. It's funny, exciting, engrossing and hypnotic -- and not just for "short-attention-spans." It's the future of movies, and that's a good thing. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">EL</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle ('Slumdog Millionaire') brings his A-game in this harrowing look at real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston, who was forced to amputate his own arm after it became trapped by a boulder in 2003. The heart of the film lies in its brilliant lead performance by James Franco, whose one-man show beautifully captured Ralston's humor, sadness, fear and, finally, his determination to survive. Sure, that amputation scene was tough to sit through, but the film's emotional payoff made '127 Hours' time well spent in the theater. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">As their director Derek Cianfrance noted, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams are so good (as a couple seen both at the shy, sweet dawn of their courtship and at the bitter collapse of their marriage), they may be too convincing. That realism -- including a discreet sex scene that nearly earned the film an NC-17 rating -- gives the movie a grubby, lived-in feeling that polished Hollywood romances lack and that keeps you rooting for these star-crossed lovers to find common ground. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GS</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">There are so many cute-but-disposable animated features every year, but there always manage to be one or two that steals just a little of Pixar's (well-deserved) thunder. In 2010, that film was the effortlessly (and unexpectedly) charming DreamWorks release 'How to Train Your Dragon.' Half-comedy, half-adventure, and 100 percent insightful about the morality tales it has to offer, 'Dragon' appeals to a wide array of demographics for a wide variety of reasons. But it all boils down to a simple equation: a film should be good enough for our children, and then it should go a bit further and be good enough for grown-ups, too. Plus, any animated feature that managed to avoid being overshadowed by the (also lovely) 'Toy Story 3' is most definitely worthy of note. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">SW</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Sure, 'The King's Speech' may seem like your typical Oscar-bait at first, given its principal cast (Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter) and award-winning director (Tom Hooper). But seconds into the movie, you realize it's so much more. Writer David Seidler based the remarkable story around King George VI's real friendship with his speech therapist, Lionel, who helped the monarch overcome his nearly career-ending stammer. It's an endearing and at times funny movie that makes the Royal Family relatable to the average moviegoer. The film is also impeccably acted, especially by Firth, who is a shoo-in to win this year's Best Actor Oscar. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">AR</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

The latest from writer-directors Joel and Ethan Coen follows a whip-smart, hardened 14-year-old girl (Hailee Steinfeld) who teams with a drunken, washed-up U.S. Marshal (Jeff Bridges) and a slightly inept, yet heroic Texas Ranger (Matt Damon) to hunt down the man who killed her father. With breathtaking scenic shots, addictive wordplay and top-notch performances all around (especially from up-and-comer Steinfeld), the Coen brothers once again find themselves at the top of their game. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">ED</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Real or fake? Documentary or performance art? Elusive street artist-turned-filmmaker Banksy sure isn't fessing up to the truth behind his latest piece of work. At times laugh-out-loud funny, 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' –- which follows an inept French shop keeper who decides to shoot a documentary about Banksy, only to find himself turning into the kind of celebrated artist he set out to capture –- is surreal, ludicrous and totally a blast to watch play out. You'll laugh as the film ridicules its main character, though he (and Banksy) may be the ones sharing the last laugh at our expense. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">ED</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">The story of Ree, a teenager trying to track down her wayward father among a network of similarly wayward (and criminal) relatives, seems like the kind of indie that gets acclaim at festivals and is quickly forgotten. But 'Winter's Bone' is a far better, far weightier film than that. Filmed on location in the Ozarks, the film evokes not just a place and a way of life but a fierce sense of loyalty, desperation and pride. John Hawkes as Ree's uncle is explosive with menace and pain -- and Jennifer Lawrence as the headstrong Ree, who comes of age in ways most people will never (thank God) have to undergo, is a revelation, giving us what is certainly one of the best performances and strongest female characters of the year. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> PJC</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">From Aaron Sorkin's masterfully crafted script to Jesse Eisenberg's stellar and spot-on performance as Mark Zuckerberg, 'The Social Network' easily became so much more than "that Facebook movie." Director David Fincher creates a tight universe of young people careening toward something that will change the world and co-star Andrew Garfield gives a moving performance as the betrayed Eduardo Saverin. The film is crisp and modern and beautifully brought to light the story behind Facebook, the invention that defined a generation. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">GD</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Saying 'Toy Story 3' is "just an animated movie" is rather like saying the Taj Mahal is just a building. Or a Ferrari is just a car. Or ... well, you get the point. Hilarious (Mr. Tortilla Head!), heartbreaking, even white-knuckle thrilling, this film introduced terrific new characters and brought us full circle with the ones we already loved. 'Toy Story 3' isn't just for kids -- it's for adults who remember what it's like to be kids. It's both the best film of an already great franchise and our unanimous pick for the best movie of 2010. --</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">PJC</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />

Eight rounds ping the Ceph commander, but he doesn’t die. In two seconds, he’ll activate a shield that makes him four times harder to kill. I can’t take him down in time—I need to flee. I sprint-leap off the container and tap Q; the voice in my head murmurs “MAXIMUM ARMOR,” and I hear my suit’s skin go hyper-dense, just in time to absorb the fall damage. I backpedal into an alley—my armor can’t sponge the damage from another energy blast. I need to find cover, but turning to look in the direction I’m walking would cost a precious second that I don’t have.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think my back is near a wall—I’ve got to trust that that’s true. I spend my last Nanosuit energy on a hail Mary blind leap, holding the spacebar as I mentally cross my fingers. I hear a robotic whoosh—like a high-tech trampoline. Twenty feet off the ground, my feet find a cobblestone ledge. I cloak and dart off. I’ve never felt more like Batman in a game—and that includes Batman games.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New York minuteman</span></strong></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crysis 2 is at its best when it puts you in situations where you need to pivot and make creative use of your billion-dollar tactical tuxedo—the Nanosuit—to stay alive. It gives rise to moments like that last-ditch super-leap, applying timely cloaking to stealthily leapfrog between cover to execute a flank, or activating armor so you’ll survive a point-blank barrel detonation that wipes out every enemy around you.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The game provokes these on-the-fly decisions with bad guys that are durable and alert. Crysis 2’s opposing force comes in two forms: human mercs working for the Crynet corporation (the creators of the Nanosuit) called CELL, and the Ceph, a race of invading invertebrates in robotic exoskeletons. Both factions are more about being challenging and fun to shoot than unpredictably intelligent.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ceph are better—their hand-to-hand Assault units and rifle-wielding Grunts occasionally hop across chasms to reach you or escape; hulking Devastators might fire an energy missile to flush you out after you’ve just cloaked. They do feel somehow a little less fluid and dastardly than the creative Koreans of Crysis. That doesn’t make them less entertaining per se—they’re just more likely to overwhelm you with sheer force and durability than unexpected maneuvers.</span></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_46703" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 600px;"><a href="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/walker.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-46703" height="368" src="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/walker-590x368.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 610px;" title="walker" width="590" /></span></a><br />

As the game opens, New York City has already been decimated by a Ceph bio-weapon virus. Any citizens that didn’t evacuate became gory hosts to the crippling disease, and the first few levels are spent sprinting across town to retrieve a scientist working to combat the outbreak. Then the focus immediately shifts and the virus is almost completely forgotten.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ceph are ravaging NYC with snaking obelisks that release spores while CELL is clashing with US Marines and trying to capture or kill you—the only hope for humanity.

I love how giving you this vantage creates dozens of moments where you’re meant to cloak up, survey your options, and hash out a plan of action which usually goes wonderfully awry. My favorite is a midtown dock occupied by CELL. I entered through a windowsill ledge overlooking a series of small warehouses that extend into the water, connected by plank bridges lined with fuel barrels that tempt like ripe fruit. I died three times here as I experimented with unsuccessful, terrifically fun techniques: the “Reverse Depth Charge,” where I swam deep underwater with enemy-illuminating Nanovision active, then surfaced to lob a grenade or C4; stealthy rooftop sniping; and a reckless dash for a mounted turret—I hopped on and mowed down three soldiers, then ripped the gun off its bipod, leapt off the rooftop, and bagged four more kills before my Nanosuit couldn’t deflect any more bullets.</span></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_46704" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 600px;"><a href="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/headshot1.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-46704" height="368" src="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/headshot1-590x368.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 610px;" title="headshot" width="590" /></span></a><br />

New York promotes much less of the exploration, emergence and casual application of inhuman power that the tropical island did in the original Crysis. Having just replayed that game, it’s so disappointing that Crysis 2 isn’t a game where I can pick up a chicken and punch it a quarter mile down the block, or take a joyride on a boat on a whim. Natural jungles and their urban counterparts are obviously fundamentally different, but the inclusion of a number of linear, narrow sections—sewers, parking structures, office buildings, elevators, and two linear turret-firing vehicle battles—inhibits the freedom the Nanosuit’s superhuman mobility provides. Expressing your abilities as a player demands vertical and horizontal space, and there’s less of it in NYC than I would’ve liked.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crysis 2’s devastated Big Apple does benefit from CryEngine 3’s gorgeous lighting, textures and particle effects. The specific glint and angle of sun on bricks and pavement between Central Park shrubs captures what you’d expect to see in Tribeca or along River Drive. Explosions are splashy; Ceph soldiers pop and bloom almost pornographically with boneless entrails when killed. Crysis 2 might not maintain its predecessor’s open design, but it does live up to its reputation as the highest-fidelity gaming experience anywhere—and this time without necessarily bringing your PC to its knees. On a Core i7 and GTX 580, I averaged 45 FPS at a massive 2560×1600 resolution at maximum settings throughout the campaign. Playing multiplayer at maximum settings on a laptop equipped with a Core i7-720QM 1.6 GHz and running an ATI Radeon HD5870 averaged 30 FPS.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second skin</span></strong></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to that thing you’re using throughout the entire game—the Nanosuit. Using your skin feels easier than it did in Crysis. You activate armor and stealth modes on the Q and E keys, and basically see-saw between those keys through the eight-to-nine-hour campaign. This is mostly sensible; the only thing lost in this revision is that tense two seconds in Crysis’ clunky radial menu every time I wanted to swap modes.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While it mirrors the capabilities of the first game’s suit, this set of nanotech-pajamas actually feels less advanced. Sprint is noticeably slower than it was before, enough to diminish the sense of being genuinely superhuman. Likewise, super jump feels less like an expression of pure power—not because I couldn’t leap like a human grasshopper, but because the levels are obviously designed to be traversed by a character who can reach an exact value on the Y-axis. This careful calibration makes every jump feel the same, and takes away the feeling of power you get from navigating a world built for a normal man in a god-like way.</span></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_46707" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 600px;"><a href="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/devast.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-46707" height="368" src="http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/03/devast-590x368.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 610px;" title="devast" width="590" /></span></a><br />

There’s a melee bash attack, but it’s not the same as leveling an enemy with a super-powered fist. It’s subtle stuff—and some of it may be necessary to balance the game—but it sums to a feeling that simplifying the Nanosuit, while promoting accessibility, eliminates some of the ridiculous, emergent, purposefully overpowered stuff I did in Crysis.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do like that Crysis 2 lets me unlock and customize the Nanosuit through the campaign by harvesting a resource from killed Ceph. A few of the unlockable modules feel too modest (one high-level skill simply slows your energy consumption while cloaked) or useless, like the Air Stomp—a hard-to-use, downward ground-pound that drains your battery and disorients you, leaving you in big trouble if you miss. It makes sense, though, to have this layer of customizability to improve and personalize the suit by investing in modules that are specialized toward speed, stealth or armor, especially since you retain that progress over multiple playthroughs.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maximum multiplayer</span></strong></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ve left Crysis 2’s most pleasant surprise for last: its unambitious-but-excellent multiplayer. It borrows Call of Duty’s template of unlockable weapons and profile progression (play to earn more guns, attachments and perk-like Nanosuit modules) but retains its own identity by giving every player a super-suit in most modes. On paper, migrating what you do in single-player into an online arena seems like forced design. In practice, giving every player a Nanosuit cloak encourages brutal mind games, trickery, surprise and creative play, even in the context of standard multiplayer modes.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The online play owes a lot to the finely-balanced subtlety of the cloak. Unlike the Spy in Team Fortress 2, cloaking with the Nanosuit doesn’t make you disappear completely. Stealthed players distort enough light around them to be noticeable if you’re looking closely, but your eye usually won’t find them if you’re focused on another target or moving with a lot of intent.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That balance creates this absolutely satisfying internal tug-of-war between feeling strong and invulnerable or fragile and uncertain. I caught myself blasting an explosive barrel because something in my mind—an extra footstep through my headset, a shadow (which cloaked players still cast)—told me that someone was nearby.

Unlike Call of Duty, there’s little interference from the rewards earned by players that make consecutive kills—over a dozen matches, I was struck down by a Ceph gunship or orbital laser strike a mere two or three times. Considering the basic multiplayer template is borrowed from CoD, I’m glad Crysis shows this restraint—with the Nanosuit powers already in play, it’d be overwhelming if missile turrets, radar jamming, exploding drone vehicles, sentry turrets and other phone-in deaths were meddling with matches every other minute. Though it’s unclear to what extent Crysis 2 will accommodate modding online and offline, there are some smart server modifiers that may be toggled: admins can disable premade groups from joining, give players only a single life to work with or eliminate the Nanosuit powers altogether.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Empire State</span></strong></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This game may look and play best on PC, but the cross-platform development has definitely had an impact. Specifically, it’s disappointing to see that Crysis 2 makes some absolutely baffling technical omissions. The graphics settings menu offers just four areas to adjust: resolution, v-sync, HUD bobbing, and one of three pre-defined quality settings. Why can’t I pick what level of anti-aliasing or shadow quality I want in PC gaming’s most beautiful game? Quick-saving, too, is replaced by checkpoint autosaves; a developer console was also nowhere to be found.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having finished the game (I have to mention the conclusion to the campaign, which left me more sour that BioShock’s infamously anticlimactic final battle), I feel like its sins had at most a modest impact on the raw, athletic fun I had dismantling the Ceph in a gorgeous urban setting. I’ve got piles of complaints, sure. But I still got to spend eight hours—and many more satisfying moments in multiplayer—killing aliens and mercenaries with the most high-resolution, entertaining gunplay since FEAR in the skin of gaming’s most empowering avatar. The thrill and spontaneity of outfoxing enemies with invisibility, snapping a machinegun turret off its stand and wading into danger, or sprint-leaping through the Big Apple in heavy armor is something you can’t get anywhere else on the PC.</span></div>faridhehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05130314327422116602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495398340848341033.post-44951903633569246002011-04-22T02:58:00.000-07:002011-10-17T00:46:47.459-07:0010 Most Weird Cars Ever<div style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>First-person shooters are quickly becoming the reality show of video games. No, Jeff Probst isn't going to weasel his way into Call of Duty, but first-person shooters, like reality shows on television, are everywhere. Both are saturated categories full of a lot of uninspired, derivative entries. So when there's a new offering in an overused genre, it has to be special to get noticed. </i></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Thankfuly for <b>Kaos Studios</b>,<b> Homefront</b> does indeed do something special. It's not in the way the game plays but rather in its plot and setting. Homefront tells the tale of a United States that's barely recognizable today. Victimized by a hard-hitting series of events that have collapsed America's economy and prestige, the U.S. is as vulnerable as it's ever been. An unlikely foil rises in the power vacuum left by the U.S. -- a unified Korea -- and by the year 2027, Korea has launched an all-out attack on the American mainland. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Is the story over-the-top? Perhaps. You can decide for yourself (as <b>I've already extensively discussed the story and setting of Homefront</b>). But what's important is the scene that's set is something unique and interesting. This isn't a war shooter in the classic sense. Homefront is something totally different. There are no big set-pieces or large scale battles here. You'll be fighting your enemies in abandoned cul-de-sacs, seized warehouses, and even survivalist compounds. Homefront doesn't shy away from overt acts of violence, grisly scenes of human carnage, or other realities of war and occupation. All of this goes a long way towards making the world of Homefront feel real. <br />
<br />
This presentation is easily the strongest thing Homefront has going for it. And considering I'm a huge fan of alternate history and future history (as well as movies like Red Dawn penned by John Milius, the game's writer), the plot and themes certainly resonated with me. I liked the story that's told and how focused it is. I enjoyed the characters, and I especially enjoyed how everything melded together to create a compelling environment for a shooter. <br />
<br />
In terms of gameplay, however, Homefront is unremarkable. That's not to say that it's not fun, because it is. But while Homefront tries to do everything different with its presentation, it doesn't buck any trends with the way it plays. This is a shooter you'll be familiar and comfortable with, but it's not a paradigm-shifting product that will force you to think about shooters differently. You'll be aiming down the sights of assault and sniper rifles, chucking grenades (with a laughably bad animation), and killing loads and loads of enemies. This is classic shooter fare. The good news for PC gamers is that you can control Homefront with either a mouse and keyboard or a gamepad. <br />
<br />
The single-player campaign is a lot of fun, but its inexcusable shortness is also Homefront's greatest downfall. Homefront is going to run you $60 new, and if you're not at all interested in multiplayer, then the value Homefront delivers to you as a consumer is minimal. The campaign's seven chapters can easily be completed in five hours. And while there's reason for some to go back for a second playthrough (including Trophy/Achievement hunting or scouring environments for the game's collectibles in the form of story-telling newspaper clippings), most gamers will find themselves satiated with a single playthrough. <br />
<br />
Multiplayer is another story. While the actual modes of Homefront's multiplayer offering are limited, I still found myself lost in how much fun I was having with it. The two primary modes – Ground Control and Team Deathmatch – are based on old ideas but feel fun and fresh. This is largely due to the way these matches are scored, since gaining experience points as a team is more important than individual kill counts or other statistics. It's also due to the awesome maps that convey the crumbling, hopeless feel of an occupied United States. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Better yet, there's a lot of customization in multiplayer, and plenty of accessories to mess around with. You can use all of your standard FPS weaponry in multiplayer as well as drive an assortment of vehicles, from Humvees and LAVs to Scout and Attack Helicopters. Everything you do has "Battle Points" (or BP) associated with it, which is used to level your character up, as well as to unlock new weapons and the like. BP can even be spent mid-battle to give your character a flak vest, an RPG, or a number of other items. When you combine all of this with the in-game multiplayer-centric Challenges, you'll find that multiplayer in Homefront is quite deep. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> That's not to say that Homefront should be considered amongst the elite shooters of this generation, because it isn't. It looks old (though the PC version looks superior to its console counterparts), and its sound effects and voice-acting, while functional, are both unremarkable. Moreover, Homefront suffers from some pacing problems, issues with scripted events, and a few technical hiccups. The single-player game never froze on me and barely stuttered, but online locked-up on me multiple times, forcing me to hard restart my console. Yet, I kept coming back for more. I guess that just goes to show how addicting and fun Homefront's multiplayer can be. </span> <br />

Closing Comments</div>
<div class="ratingbox-comments" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I liked Homefront a lot, and yet I acknowledge that the aspects of the game I like the most aren’t the most important in determining whether the game is great or not. Homefront is certainly one of the most unique shooters I’ve ever played, driven by an ingenious and surprisingly well-fleshed out plot and a dark and dreary, realistic setting. But it also controls and feels like a typical shooter, looks like a game that’s several years old, and most importantly, has an inexcusably brief campaign. Multiplayer is Homefront’s redeeming quality, and those gamers out there who are like me and swoon for alternate/future history settings should certainly look into it. However, if what you’re seeking is an upper-echelon shooter, keep looking, because Homefront isn’t what you’re searching for.</div>

The following major accidents are sorted according to the amount of losses (material) caused or the many of people died in the accident. Here’s Top 10 most biggest Accident in history.<br /> <br /><br />10. Ship sinking of the Titanic [Losses $ 150 Million]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-titanic-sinking.jpg"><img height="263" src="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-titanic-sinking-1024x675.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />titanic sinking<br /><br />The sank of the Titanic probably the most famous accident in the world.<br /><br />On April 15, 1912, Titanic was the first cruise ship and is considered the most luxurious ship ever built. More than 1,500 people died when ships are hit an iceberg and sank in cold water. The ship was built at a cost of $ 7 million (approximately $ 150 million dollars if calculated at this time).<br /><br />9. Tanker Truck Collision vs. Bridge [Losses $ 358 Million]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-Tanker-Truck-Collision.jpg"><img height="299" src="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-Tanker-Truck-Collision.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Tanker Truck Collision<br /><br />On August 26, 2004, a truck containing 32,000 liter tank of fuel on the shaky bridge Wiehltal in Germany. The tank hit a road divider and fell 90 feet to produce a large explosion and fire, beyond the bridge in the weight-bearing ability. The cost of repairs caused by this incident is about $ 40 million and the cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $ 318 Million.<br /><br />8. Metrolink Crash [Losses $ 500 Million]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-Metrolink-Crash.jpg"><img height="285" src="http://www.aboutinteresting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/top-10-most-biggest-accident-in-history-Metrolink-Crash.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Metrolink Crash<br /><br />On 12 September 2008, one of the worst accident in the history of California, 25 people were killed when a Metrolink train accident in delivery mission to the Union Pacific train in Los Angeles.

Continuing with the tales of bravery and confrontation in battle, this eighth entry in the Call of Duty franchise (in addition to an action-adventure spin-off from Sledgehammer Games) is due out in 2011. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A third game in the Modern Warfare series is coming this year, according to a new report from the Los Angeles Times. <br />
<br />
Citing unnamed sources, the <b>LA Times</b> says Activision has recruited Sledgehammer Games, the studio currently <b>working</b> on another unannounced Call of Duty title, and Raven Software (Singularity) to help finish development of Modern Warfare 3 for <i><b>release this November</b></i>. <br />
<br />
The report states both Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward are equally completing the single-player portion of the game, while Raven is working on its online multiplayer features. <br />
<br />
Due to the developer collaboration, sources said the Call of Duty spin-off project in development at Sledgehammer, <b>rumored</b> to be set in the future, has now been put on hold. <br />
<br />
Since Infinity Ward executives Jason West and Vince Zampella were fired from the studio in March, <b>more than</b> 35 employees have left the studio. Activision said recently it has received over 5,000 applicants to fill the vacancies. <br />
<br />
The publisher has not publicly announced what Call of Duty title would be released this year, but did <b>confirm</b> a new game would be arriving in the back half of 2011. <br />
<br />
When asked about the report, an Activision representative told IGN, "There's been much speculation recently. We look forward to releasing details for the next Call of Duty in the near future." </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

When Infinity Ward moved from the classic World War II setting and blazed new ground with Modern Warfare we saw the first obvious split within the world of Call of Duty. The series dropped its historic focus, created a new cast of characters, and began treading on new ground by taking the first-person shooter genre to new locales, and pushing the boundaries of what military games are willing to show. With Modern Warfare 2, the sheer amount of hype has been practically inescapable, with preorders alone setting it up as one of the biggest selling games of all time, the addition of even more multiplayer modes and features, and the game's new Special Operations mode has set Infinity Ward's lastest up as the game to beat this year.</div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">The real question: has it been worth the wait, and can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the precedent set by over half a decade of Call of Duty tradition?</div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">Modern Warfare 2 is by far the least traditional of the series, with the core package broken up into three main pillars of gameplay. Single-player fans have their main campaign, if you're down for more co-op gameplay either locally or via online connection you've got the new Spec Ops mode, and Modern Warfare's groundbreaking multiplayer is back, and truly better than ever. There's an overwhelming amount of content to experience, but with each mode being 100% standalone in nature, you're getting three completely different experiences all in one. That, however, also plays a huge factor into how your final opinion of Modern Warfare 2 as a whole turns out.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">First and foremost is the single-player experience. As the anchor of the Call of Duty world, campaign mode is back, and it's intense. You'll instantly get a sense of just how far the improved engine has come when you're thrown into the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro's favela, the ice-capped mountains of Russia, the dusty roads of Afghanistan, and other unexpected locales. On the visual side of things, Modern Warfare 2 is an obvious step up over Call of Duty 4 and World at War, with a stronger emphasis on complex terrain in the environments, weather effects, destructible objects, and the overall sense of action and chaos that comes with so many visual improvements. This is only complemented further by the increased attention to sound design, with the effects of many returning weapons being re-recorded,even more in-level chatter amongst your allies, and a truly captivating score by Hans Zimmer which builds based on specific in-game moments. Modern Warfare 2 feels like an action movie through and through, with the production values alone dating Infinity Ward's last game, Call of Duty 4, quite a bit.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">At the same time, the single-player campaign has its issues. For starters, it's short. I've been playing Call of Duty 4 steadily since its release, and my first completion of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign came in at just under five hours on regular difficulty. Playing through on hardened will add another hour and a half onto that. Modern Warfare 2 is definitely more chaotic this time around – partially due to the new visual effects and upped production values – and with the improved enemy AI and tough scenario design you'll be fighting for every checkpoint. One of the larger visual changes to the game's heads-up display this time around is the blood splatter system. In previous Call of Duty offerings you'd get damaged, the screen would start to shade red, and you'd be required to seek cover before your vision returned to normal. Modern Warfare 2 employs a new system, actually having a thicker blood layer added to up the realism. There's been some discussion on whether the splatter is too distracting, and in my experience with the game it's far from an issue. You'll be able to take more hits on easier difficulty settings, so while a few well-placed shots will drop players on hardened or veteran modes the added splatter is an acceptable trade-off for more overall health</div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div class="imageInline" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14280895/img_7304518.html" style="color: #003399; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/104/1043366/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-20091109113738122-000.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px;" width="480" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; width: 480px;">Campaign's story might be a little farfetched and slightly cramped, but there's no denying the spectacle of it all. Modern Warfare 2 will blow you away.</div></div>Thankfully many of the glaring issues from last time around have been fixed. You won't find unlimited enemy spawns in areas, there's always a waypoint icon on-screen showing you where to go or who to follow, and the amount of in-game chatter from your team is simply astounding. It isn't often in games that you'll hear your squad call out specific areas on the map and have it mean anything. When your friend shouts, "Two tangos behind the yellow station wagon!" you'll actually see two enemies behind a yellow station wagon. It's a pretty engaging experience. You'll still have random issues with friendly AI, specifically with blocking your movement or deciding to walk in front of you mid-firefight, but for the most part it's a better experience than the first Modern Warfare.<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">Where Modern Warfare 2's campaign drops the ball, however, is in its actual storytelling. With no historic anchor it's up to the Infinity Ward to not only put players in the moment, but also build and develop the world around those moments. That's one area where Modern Warfare 2 could have used more polish time or specific direction to get right. Events fly by, story is told only through load screens or in-game via NPC chatter (usually amidst firefights, where reading text isn't exactly priority one) and the story is so gigantically over-the-top that you'll often find yourself catching your breath after a mission, feeling like you had fun, and then trying to figure out what you just did in the context of the story. Though this may prove an issue for some, I was able to catch the plot, enjoy the characters, follow the twists, and truly care about the story. But then again, I've also been dedicated to nothing but Modern Warfare 2 for the last six months. The game often expects you to already know the characters, extrapolate on one line of dialogue or a quick cut-scene, and then figure out the story from there. In the end though, there's no real weight to anything you're doing. Outside of playing a couple missions as a soldier taking orders from the top you never get a true feel for scale, or any actual emotional attachment to the events. Something as simple as a newscast reel, or moment of downtime while on the field would have gone a long way. The end result is a game that has the feel of an '80s action movie with huge plot holes covered by plenty of epic moments, but never a believable, cohesive set of events. There are definitely still great moments to be had in single player though. There's a laundry list of awesome gameplay concepts and new tech at your disposal. It just doesn't stack up against some of the previous Call of Duty story modes, where single player was the obvious focus throughout the entire package.</div><div class="imageInline" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14280895/img_7304488.html" style="color: #003399; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/104/1043366/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-20091109113740856-000.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px;" width="480" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; width: 480px;">Multiplayer raises the bar this time around with a huge emphasis on team play. Bring your friends, or get online and make some.</div></div>For the vast majority of the experience, Modern Warfare 2 is best enjoyed with friends or random opponents online. The core campaign may have taken a bit of a hit, but in its place is an incredibly well done debut mode called Spec Ops. For those that don't know, Special Operations mode is an arcade-inspired challenge mode that can be played single player for the most part (minus a few co-op specific challenges), but is obviously designed around two-person team play. The mode is broken up into five tiers, each with missions that have a possible three stars to gain based on difficulty level in each of the 23 missions. You'll see a lot of repeating areas, some pulled directly from the single-player campaign, but the actual objectives (and most of the time, the exact layout of the level) is all new. You won't find leaderboards for this mode, unfortunately.<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">SpecOps mode is going to surprise a lot of gamers. It's addictive and surprisingly entertaining. It's longer, overall, than single-player mode, is a huge upgrade from the previously unlockable Arcade Mode in the first Modern Warfare, and some of the missions will have players going back over and over again well after all 69 stars are earned. The co-op only AC-130 mission, for example, is one of the biggest highlights of the entire Modern Warfare 2 package. One player mans the gunship while the other sneaks behind enemy lines on foot. The need for co-op play here is tremendous. In a similar mission, one player will man a chopper mini-gun and actually control the bird's fly speed as it circles a stranded soldier (player two) in a suburban warzone. Not only will you need to work in tandem to move from point to point, but the mission ends with an amazingly cinematic finale as the chopper pilot destroys countless buildings, lays down waves of covering fire for his friend, and then actually swoops in to pick him up on a rooftop. You may have thought you were buying Modern Warfare 2 simply for the competitive multiplayer or single-player campaign alone, but mark my words; you will be pulled in by Spec Ops, and when it's all said and done you'll be begging for more.</div><div class="imageInline" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14280895/img_7304504.html" style="color: #003399; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/104/1043366/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-20091109113857058-000.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px;" width="480" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; width: 480px;">Seeing Modern Warfare 2 next to Call of Duty 4 is a pretty eye-opening experience. The engine has come a long way.</div></div>And then there's the competitive multiplayer. While there's a near-endless amount that could be said about the final and largest pillar of the Modern Warfare 2 experience, it really boils down to a few key aspects. First off, the visual overhaul. Multiplayer looks beautiful this time around, with the visuals trumping that of the single-player offering in the original Modern Warfare, and much more epic locales. There's a huge level of smoke and effects to be seen, electrical equipment and cars explode, and nearly every item in the levels are physics enabled, all amounting to an experience that feels like a true extension of single player, rather than some stripped down visual offering. There was a full team dedicated to multiplayer for Modern Warfare 2 and it shows.<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"></span></div><div class="article-content" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24.16px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">Infinity Ward also made a point to focus on both user feedback from the first Modern Warfare, as well as overall balance across multiplayer modes. The class system returns with a set of both new and returning weapons, perks, and the new customizable killstreaks, but despite having well over double the amount of total content this time around Modern Warfare 2 retains its strategic feel across the board. In fact, this is easily one of the most balanced multiplayer games I've ever played, as every strategy has its counter, and players at every skill level can contribute to their team in some unique way. The entire experience is extremely rewarding, and the sheer amount of content will have you coming back again and again.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">In fact, the killstreaks themselves are evidence that the game's balance is truly there. Killstreaks have been expanded from the original Modern Warfare, now allowing players to unlock rewards such as stealth bombers, AC-130 strikes, EMP blasts, and even a devastating 25 killstreak nuke that ends the game with a big bang, automatically handing your team the win if you can pull it off. With such devastating power at your fingertips though, balance was crucial, and Infinity Ward pulled it off. Many of the more annoying tactics in the original Modern Warfare have been removed, so you'll no longer have players throwing three frag grenades every life, martyrdom has been removed from the main set of perks, and with plenty of airborne attacks and a wide variety of equipment and weapons camping is far less of an issue. In fact, even the multiplayer maps themselves solve many of the common issues of COD4's multiplayer, and in turn make for a better experience. You'll find more height, more alternate routes to areas, and more diversity all around. There's an insane level of depth and strategy in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, and this is far from just an upgrade from COD4.</div><div class="imageInline" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/142/14280895/img_7304490.html" style="color: #003399; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/104/1043366/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-20091109113735278-000.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px;" width="480" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; width: 480px;">Simply stunning.</div></div>For those of us looking to pick up the game on PC, a few more things need to be noted about Modern Warfare 2. Infinity Ward has worked to make sure the experience on PC is identical to that of 360 and PS3, and while I'd say the team has succeeded overall, that's so a good and bad thing for various players. On the plus side, you're getting the same amazing experience as the other versions, and those that want a game that's easy to jump into online and connect with other players will find it with the PC version of Modern Warfare 2. What that also means, however, is that the PC version is also locked to the same restrictions as the other versions, so 32 person matches are a thing of the past, you can't create dedicated servers for match hosting, and that also will result in a lack of future mod support and PC-specific expansion. While this is definitely a downside for those familiar with the expandability of PC gaming and freedom that comes with a more open source platform, IW is essentially forcing the PC version to play by the same rules as the console offerings, and thus making sure anyone that wants to jump in and get the intended Modern Warfare 2 experience can do so across any system. It'll hurt the hardcore PC community, and but it's a decision IW made.<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0px;">Should Infinity Ward have included more expandability across PC – be it in more players online, dedicated servers, or through other avenues – the PC version would have been reviewed as such, and the added features would have (we can only assume) helped the version go above and beyond its console counterparts. Seeing as it's the same core experience, however, we are reviewing it as such, and the game should be looked at as the same value and overall package as any other console.</div></div><div class="hdr-article hdr-ratingbox-comments" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(224, 224, 224); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 28px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">CLOSING COMMENTS</div><div class="ratingbox-comments" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24.16px;">When you look at the total package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there, and a truly amazing offering across any system. With that being said, our score comes with a disclaimer. For those planning to check out everything Modern Warefare 2 has to offer – online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode, as well as the campaign – you’re looking at a no-brainer purchase. For the strictly single player crowd, however, Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short, and doesn’t live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games. The campaign can be completed in as little as four and a half hours, and the missions make better scenarios and moment-to-moment adrenaline rushes than they do a cohesive, well-told story. If you’re going solo, you’ve officially been warned. Look at the complete Modern Warfare 2 experience though, and there’s no denying its rightful place at the top.</div><div class="ratingbox-comments" style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 24.16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;"><div class="hdr-article clear hdr-ratingbox-comments" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(224, 224, 224); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 28px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">IGN RATINGS FOR CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 (PC)</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="ratingsBoxTable" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 460px;"><colgroup><col id="ratingsBoxColA" style="width: 70px;"></col><col id="ratingsBoxColB" style="width: 198px;"></col><col id="ratingsBoxColC" style="width: 202px;"></col></colgroup><tbody>

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">The 20th century was a period when computer viruses saw light and managed to cause serious damages to unprepared users and their machines. Millions of users downloaded computer viruses without even knowing about it. To <strong>download a computer virus</strong> one simply needed to click on a certain link or open an email attachment.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">Today the best way to keep your computer virus-free is to <b><a href="http://255e22q0yhj5gxbw790bxq2qab.hop.clickbank.net/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #00468c;" target="_blank">install an effective antivirus software like the Antivirus and Security All-in-One-Suite</a></b> that will not only allow you to check for any malware but will also stop attacks on your machine. However, previously there were little or no such programs.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">Hackers used various ways of penetrating the systems of<strong>universities from around the world</strong>, NASA, armed forces and governments. In this article you will find the most dangerous computer viruses of the 20th century. Note that the list includes computer viruses selected by the InfoNIAC team, which means that it represents our subjective opinion. If you have any additional information on the topic you are free to leave your comments at the bottom of the story. Here we go:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>7. Jerusalem - 1987</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">For the first time it was discovered in 1987 on October 1. The virus was dubbed Jerusalem because it was identified in a Hebrew university, but in 1991 antivirus experts found that Italy is the country were the first traces of the computer virus were noticed. Jerusalem is believed to be one of the oldest computer viruses in history, being able to infect both .EXE and .COM files. Initially the Jerusalem virus included a bug that led to a repeat infection of the files that continued until the size of the files overcome computer resources. In addition, each Friday 13 it deleted all programs in the infected system as a result of a malicious payload that set off on the respective day. Jerusalem considerably slowed down the machine. A person could identify the virus but noticing two lines on the monitor.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>6. Morris (a.k.a. Internet Worm) - 1988</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">Previously at www.InfoNIAC.com we wrote about this computer worm, which is believed to be one of the first worms that spread over the Internet. The name of the virus comes from its developer Robert Tappan Morris, who was a student at Cornell University. The computer worm was set off on November 2, 1988 and after some time it managed to infect 6,000 to 9,000 machines. It overloaded the whole Internet, leading to the failure of a large number of servers. According to its developer, the goal was to discover just how far and fast a computer worm can spread all over the network. Robert Tappan Morris was found guilty and sentenced to 3 years of probation along with 400 hours of community service. In addition, he had to pay a $10,000 fine.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>5. Barrotes - 1993</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">This is believed to be the first popular computer virus developed in Spain. As soon as it infected the system, it would remain there until January the 5th, when it would set off showing a series of bars on the screen. It infected .COM, .EXE and overlay files. The Barrotes computer virus represents a resident virus - it becomes a resident of the computer memory each time the machine starts up. Due to a series of vertical lines that appear on the monitor, it was easy to identify the virus. It could also overwrite the Master Boot Record of the HDD, thus making it impossible for the uses to access the hard disk.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>4. Solar Sunrise - 1998</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">This is not the name of the computer virus, it is the name of the situation that occurred in 1998 when a team of hackers managed to take control of more than 500 computer system of the army, government as well as private sector of the United States. The name Solar Sunrise comes after the well-known vulnerabilities in machines that run on the Sun Solaris OS. At first the attack was believed to have been organized by hackers from Iraq, but later it was discovered that the ones to blame were two American youngsters from California.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>3. CIH (a.k.a. Chernobyl) - 1998</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">Our list of the most dangerous computer viruses on the 20th century continues with CIH virus that caused an estimated damage of $20 to $80 million around the globe. After its launch, the computer virus managed to affect huge amounts of data stored on computers. Later it was discovered that the computer virus was launched in Taiwan. It has been recognized to be one of the most dangerous computer viruses in history. It infected Windows 95, 98, and ME executable files. In addition, CIH remained resident in the memory of the machine, being able to carry on infecting other executables. After being activated, the virus overwrote data on the HDD of the infected PC, making the latter inoperable. CIH could also overwrite the BIOS of the infected computer, thus preventing boot-up. The second name of the virus - Chernobyl - was given because some of the biggest damages occurred on the day when the nuclear reactor exploded.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><strong>2. Melissa - 1999</strong></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">This computer virus managed to cause a damaged estimated between $300 and $600 million. The famous computer virus gained huge fame on March 26, 1999. Experts claimed that this computer virus managed to infect between 15 and 20 percent of all business PCs on the planet. Melissa virus spread so fast that a number of big companies, including Intel and Microsoft, that used Outlook, had to shut down their email systems to hold up the damage. The computer virus took advantage of Microsoft outlook to send email messages of itself to 50 names on the contact list of a user. The message in the email read: "Here is that document you asked for don’t show anyone else."
