Call of Duty 4 multiplayer tips for surviving Bog and Bloc

Remember the first video tutorial for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that I showed? Well, we have the second part right here. This time, the maps tackled are Bog and Bloc. I don’t think this batch is as good as the first one, but it still provides good insight on the levels nonetheless.

Call of Duty 4 ending is short and vague

Speaking of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I’ve again finished its single player campaign and remembered that its’ ending is similar to Resistance: Fall of Man–it’s as abrupt and unsatisfying.
Perhaps it should be made clear to developers that credits aren’t part of a game’s ending.

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 […]

GameHopper is sending console games to doorsteps in the Philippines

My friendly neighborhood GameHopper delivery guy just left. I’ve just signed up for the service, and it’s been awesome so far. What is GameHopper anyways? Simply put, it’s a Philippine-based service that lets me try games out before I buy them.
The best part, I don’t have to leave home. The service delivers and picks-up the […]
