Modern Warfare 3: I have always loved the series for its great storyline and Michael Bay-esc set pieces. MW3 is no different. A great ending to a great trilogy. MW4 needs to be completely new though. New engine, storyline, etc. Co-op is also once again really fun and a great addition to the game. I really liked the Spec-Ops idea from MW2 and I’m really glad the developers decided not to throw it away. They have brought it back and even better than ever with the addition of “Survival” mode. Lots of fun to be had there. Lastly, the multiplayer. I honestly don’t have much to say about it. It’s Call of Duty. It’s multiplayer. You know what to expect. It’s good but can also be frustrating at times. Honestly, I’m starting to get tired of it.
Uncharted 3: I have only played a little bit of multiplayer and none of the co-op yet. The campaign however, I played straight through. And the reason I played it without stopping? Because I didn’t want to stop. The campaign is simply fantastic. It is just as good, if not better, than Uncharted 2. In fact, I would pay $60 alone JUST for the campaign. It’s that good. Most people I know don’t own a playstation 3, but if you do, this is a game that should NOT be missed. Naughty Dog has also completely overhauled the multiplayer and making it feel as though the are actually playing the single player campaign. Co-Op should be good to. Just when you think the developers couldn’t top themselves from the second game, they make the third one a fantastic outing to the franchise.
Skyrim: THIS GAME. THIS is the game of all games. Well….maybe I’m stretching that a bit. But still, I could easily spend over 100 hours playing this game. Personally, I tried so many times to play and enjoy the fourth game, but I could never really get into it. This game however, is a LOT better. I didn’t think I would even like this game at first. But after about the first hour or so, I realized that this game could potentially destroy my social life. The world is massive, infinite quests to do, dungeons to explore, and most importantly, Dragons to slay. I would highly recommend that everyone give this game a fair chance. There are a ton of ways to play the game, and no two people will play it the same way. Do yourself a favor, and play this game.
