What a game it was! The ultimate first person shooter had the qualities to be the best video game on Xbox 360. Everyone loved Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from the designer Infinity Ward. It was thought by many people that it will take a long time before another addition was made to the Call of Duty series; however it took only a week for the publishers, Activision to announce the new Call of Duty: World at War. Although, the new game was announced, it was quite disappointing when it was said it was going to be created by Treyarch, the other creators of Call of Duty games. Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as most Call of Duty fans expected, although it didn’t really match up to the standards of the creations of Infinity Ward but it turned out to be a worthy game to all those first person shooter fans out there.
You will notice that most of the game has vey similar to its predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. But, you will see a few features that are new in the game. This includes the ability to call on an airstrike onto the opposition occasionally. However, the game has not lost the through and through intense fighting and the pretentious settings which has been a trademark of the Call of Duty series.
Call of Duty: World at War has more similarities to the earlier games in the series than Call of Duty 4. Call of Duty: World at War keeps a very strong and tough narrative throughout the game. As in the other games, you'll live in the fundamental combat boots of American and Russian soldier. You will battle the Japanese in the Pacific and be pulling the guts out of the viscous Nazis in their nation state, Germany.
It's rather standard stuff for the franchise, including the vital appearance of some stern and valiant com...

...ty 4 with very slim differences. One of the things that make us admire the multiplayer game play is the attack dogs that can be let loose when your kill streak is high enough. The multiplayer still is very similar to Call of Duty 4’s multiplayer although this game has new advantages, weapons, and maps.
Call of Duty: World at War is exceptionally similar to Call of Duty 4 through many ways, but it widens the range a bit for the games who have already got tired of the game that was released one year ago. This game has not had a very engaging storyline for its campaign mode when weighed against to Call of Duty 4. However it is the first ever time a CoD game has had co-op which gives the game more replay value. It will also join with the amazing multiplayer to keep us occupied with the game until Activision decides to add a new Call of Duty game onto the series.

Many people agree that Sony’s Playstation 4 is better than Microsoft’s Xbox One and vice versa. I have been gaming since I was seven years old and still am today. The first gaming console I ever had was the original Xbox. Throughout the years though, technology has improved vastly. The last generation of game consoles gave the industry a much needed boost and gave the consumer another commodity. With the eighth generation of consoles just arriving, a lot of people are wondering which console to buy. There is, however, more than just the choice of games. There’s differences in processors, graphics cards, hard drives, design, operating systems, ports, versatility, stability, controllers, and, of course, the games.
Robocop, released in 1987 directed by Paul Verhoeven, is a film about the city of Detroit which suffers from many crimes, to stop these crimes they create a part human robot that is indestructible, but they encounter problems a long the way. On the other hand, WarGames was released in 1983 directed by John Badham, this film is about a teenager that discovers a glitch in the military computer and almost causes a war with Russia. The film Robocop and WarGames are ones that focus on the time periods of the 1970’s and the impact that the government had on the people.
Unlike the WWII era, the Vietnam War brought realism into literature and film. There were no heroic movies of men fighting in Vietnam. Men could no longer shoot fifty enemy combatants on top of a tank without being hurt. Instead, popular culture brought a realistic view of war, death, pain, and destruction. Author Tim O’Brien, like many war veterans, struggled with his Vietnam experience and expressed them through writing. Tim O’Brien exposed the truth behind war stories because he shows the difference between WWII romanticism and Vietnam realism.
The similarities and differences between O'Brien's book and Owen's poem help convey a single message. War is not what everyone believes it to be. War is gruesome, violent, and emotionally tiring. The stories soldiers tell are so elaborate and outrageous because they don't want to tell people what really happens. Also because the way war is portrayed in movies people expect amazing war stories. O'Brien and Owen both portray the reality of war, however O'Brien goes deeper into the truth behind the reality or war. Although they both are written in two different time periods, they both portray a sense of war that most do not see.

Call of Duty’s fourth installment “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” was released in 2007 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. At the time, nobody would have expected the game to get very far due to Halo’s reign over the FPS genre. However, to many people’s surprise, Modern Warfare took the market by storm, rivaling Halo. This was part due to Cod’s innovative multiplayer, which included multiple arcade-like features to keep players interested in playing for hours on end. Cod also appealed to many gamers and non-gamers by making gameplay an easy-to-play experience. This of course allowed thousands of inexperienced gamers to have fun playing Cod without the stress of a skill based multiplayer, such as Halo’s. Increasing in popularity, a new Cod installment was to be released every year following Modern Warfare to rake in the cash and to make the game’s reputation more prominent. This is how Cod became the juggernaut it is today.
Slaughterhouse-Five is also predominantly about various features of war such as how much it sucks , also how much it trips people up after it happens, and also how commonly one-sided life is that we have to go fight in wars and then mature and die afterwards. So that's why relating Slaughterhouse-Five as a war drama mainly does the plot concentrate on World War II, but the book also applies a lot of time pondering war as an experience that affects us through eh long
Monster Hunter games can be explained just by saying the name, hunting monsters. It’s not like ghosts and goblins, more like gigantic lizards or sabertooth cats. Monster Hunter can be divided (for now) into four generations with new monsters and features added with every generation. Almost all allow a personalized hunter though with various changeable features, skin color, hair color, hair style, scars, and markings (face paint and the like). Hunters also have the choice of fourteen weapons allowing for several different styles of game playing. The choice is split between two divisions, a blademaster, or a gunner. There are more weapons for blademaster, around eleven with gunners only having three. While it is largely meant to be multiplayer game, but most games only allow nearby players, and servers for internet play in several games has been shut down. Weapons used are balanced to have around the same advantages to problems, but there can be a problem using a certain weapon against certain monsters. Of course the weapons have differences for any kind of hunter from the full offensive hammer to the back up hunting horn to the long range heavy bowgun.
Video games have come a long way. They have evolved from the simple game of Pong into a complex, multi-platform, multi-genre, multi-billion dollar industry.
Strong, brave, and powerful are usually the words that come to mind when you think of a traditional war hero. In Tim O’Brien’s novel he uses war heroes that aren’t what people usually imagine when they think of a war hero. They are straight out of high school, and most of the soldiers in his novel are cowards. They are scared of going into the war and even when they have a chance to save one of their friends they just let them die. Not using traditional war heroes allowed Tim O’Brien to show that not all heroes are heroic and courageous, and that they were just normal people going into a war they didn’t understand.
I’m the type of guy that would go out and buy a Call of Duty game, pop it open and gather all my friends and jump right into it. Call of Duty is one of the most popular games out and many people love to play. It is competitive, it has online play, and you can also create a clan or group to play against other people around the world online. Call of Duty dates back to 2003 and really wasn’t popular then because it’s all about killing your enemy. Many parents didn’t want their child to play the game. Growing up, I didn’t know much about video games, so I wasn’t really into them until I started playing Call of Duty. Not only does it have military based features, it also has zombies and/or aliens features as well.

The first and second World Wars are often group with each other, because on the surface they seem very similar. The wars contained the same countries and almost the same alliances thought both of the wars. Really, the two wars are vastly different in some ways such as technology readily available during the wars and the strategies used to utilize them. These wars were very similar in some ways such as the millions who died as the result of them and the total war system that all citizens should help in the war effort. Knowing the differences and similarities between the two can allow you better understand the history surrounding the wars and allow you to avert another disastrous.
