How many people reading this would safely say that video gaming has become a huge part of everyones lives. It way it draws people in, whether its Mass Effect or Metal Gear Solid with its emotional plot lines, Gears of War or God of War with its hard hitting in your face exhilarating action or Call of Duty online that just keeps you running back for more. Whatever the reason the reason may be the fact is video games have taken over our lives.See i wake up, go to work selling videogames, get home, play videogames, then blog about videogames. Now not everyone works with videogames but you get the jist. I first realised this when i was about 14 and i got my copy of Medal of Honour Frontline home and as i played the opening to the game blew me away. Just the thrill of storming the beach, the explosions the drama. Thats what keeps me comming back, the pure intensity of a well made action game. I do strive to find the frontline feeling. But recently i have felt as though there has been a lack of well thought out hard hitting games recently and the videogames we once knew and loved just dont seem to be being made anymore. Theres something so overdone about call of duty and gears of war. Whats Halo? Just your average alien shooter. Fifa 10? i hate the idea behind football games. Whats with all the games that involve you feeding babies or playing with cats? Whatever happened to just waiting till you were old enough to have a baby, or getting a cat. To be honest im not even sure what point im trying to make but metal gear solid 4 and god of war 3 seem to cut it right for me. Im not sure what it is. They just have the frontline factor. Word
