Answering the Call of Duty, For the 4th Time

I've never been a huge fan of World War 2 first person shooters. Sure I've rented Medal of Honor Airborne and previous Call of Duty games and enjoyed for a few hours; but I never had the inclination to buy one. That is of course until Call of Duty 4 came along. I played the game at a friend's house over the holidays and was very impressed by the graphics, game play and overall feeling of submersion like I was actually standing alongside fellow soldiers ready to storm a building. I hadn't had this feeling like I was actually a part of an actually gun battle since I stormed the beaches of Normandy Medal of Honor Frontline for the PS2.

I was pleasantly surprised when, after seeing me play the copy of Call of Duty 4 I rented from Blockbuster, my uncle bought me a copy of my own. Of course I played the whole game through a couple of times during Christmas break and I appreciated it well enough; but I wondered, what's next? If most of you are thinking: "What about playing it online?" I didn't even realize there was online play until I got back to school for the next semester. If you go to a school similar to mine, you pretty much get all the bandwidth you want so internet connections aren't a problem.

Call of Duty trumps any game created so far when it comes to online play. Nothing is easier to play, nor more fun or exciting. Call of Duty 4 is like a no BS version of Counter Strike and a lot more fun. The large number of maps have kept players hooked to this game since it came out last November.

My only gripe with Call of Duty 4 online is that it is so fast paced; people who prefer to be snipers are at a serious disadvantage, unless of course you have extremely good reflexes and can run and jump while looking down a rifle scope.

If you haven't played Call of Duty 4 yet, pick it up and enjoy the best online play for both the XBOX 360 and PS3.

Guaranteed Nintendo Wii Consoles in Stock - How to Find a Nintendo Wii Console in Stock Today

I have been around video gaming for quite some time and I have probably owned about every system that has come out on the market. Ever since I first played the Nintendo Wii, however, I realized that there was a lot more to enjoying video games than simply sitting on the couch with a controller in my hand. I knew from that very moment that I had to own one of these game systems but unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the Nintendo Wii console in stock.

Often, people spend an entire night standing outside of the store, waiting for it to open in order to get their new Nintendo. There really is not a need for you to do this because if you know how to use the Internet, it is easy to find a Nintendo Wii console in stock. All you really need to do is to know which websites to look on and you can easily find one. I wish I would've thought of this whenever I first decided to get the game because the first console that I bought cost me an entire night and I ended up catching a cold for my trouble.

Instead of sitting outside of the store, spending an entire night to see if they have a Nintendo Wii console in stock for you or not, simply surf over to a Wii website and you will find one easily. After I ended up giving my first game to my little nephew, I decided that I would not spend any more time outside of the store. I ordered it online and had it in just a few days.

The best site I've found for getting a Nintendo Wii Console in Stock is http://wiiconsolesandmore.com - They always have Wii consoles for sale and can ship within a few days. Check them out today and get your Wii console.
