FPS Rantings

Personal FragFX deal is in the works

Since I’ve first heard of the FragFX, I’ve been frequenting Play-Asia to see if the FPS controller is available. Not that I’m willing to part with that much money before June 12–I was also hoping against hope that there would be a price drop for the FragFX.
No such luck. The controller is still unavailable and […]

Oddities: Music video consists entirely of CoD4 gunshots

Remember those Halo 3 suicide videos? Do you recall how insanely elaborate they were? I think I may have just found the clip that surpasses those videos in terms of intricacy. Below is a music video made up entirely of Call of Duty 4 gunfire.

Who made the music video? Some fellow who calls himself Serpento. […]

CoD4 adventures: Knifing n00bs is fun (for non-n00bs)

I finally had the nerve to play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare online today (not before upgrading my PS3’s firmware to 2.20). Sadly, my first foray wasn’t very encouraging. To make the long story short, I never managed to take anyone down. I don’t even know if I was able to land a single […]

Staunch PC shooter fan reluctantly gets better in using analog sticks

I finished Call of Duty 4 last weekend. I never thought I’d be able to since I utterly suck in using analog sticks, but I did. Did I find it easy? Heavens no. How then was a staunch PC gamer able to finish one of the best shooters of 2007 on a console?
At first, I […]

Call of Duty 4 is a pleasant surprise on gaming consoles

Yeah, I know that the game is fantastic. If you look at every game Website or blog out there, you’ll see that majority of the ratings garnered by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is at the 90% neighborhood—and for good reason.
Despite the game’s excellence, I remain reluctant to play its console versions. Why? Because […]

Everyone’s weighing in on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. See what Libya leader Muammar al-Qadaffi thinks.

Call of Duty 4 graphics comparison: PS3 versus Xbox 360

Ever wondered if the Cell processor really makes PS3 games look better than its Xbox 360 counterpart? Watch the short clip below to compare.

You’ll see that the graphics look virtually the same. However, I did notice a very slight difference. The Xbox 360 version had sharper shadows to some extent. I can’t say […]

Gaming vest provides force feedback

I’m sure all of you miss your DualShock. Sure, the pads may be coming next year, but that PS3 controller feels a little odd without the shakes. An email I received the other day made me think there might be more to force feedback than DualShock.

Meet surgeon Mark Ombrellaro, the designer of a tele-health […]

Call of Duty 4 for the DS might not suck like other handheld shooters

The last major shooter franchise that graced the DS left a bad aftertaste. Sure, Brothers in Arms looked pretty, its levels were of considerable size for a handheld game, and the explosions are a visual treat. Those are good stuff that you’d notice when you watch the trailers, but things start getting ugly when you […]

Shoot through walls in Call of Duty 4

The latest multiplayer trailer for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is out. Go see it and enjoy what little gameplay it shows.

No, your eyes don’t deceive you. Yes, you can shoot through walls, and it’s not some form of wallhack. It’s great to see that ballistics can pass through walls, just like […]
