Review #1: Call of Duty: Black Ops. Fanboy score: 9.5/10. Realist's score: 6/10. Call of Duty: Black Ops is the seventh in the series of increasingly unoriginal first person shooters. Sure, the graphics may be cooler, the user interface is nicer, and you may be able to knife someone from 6 meters away, but no real original, new content has been added since Modern Warfare 2. Okay, one new game type and new maps, but there's new maps and game types in every game. My main problem with this game is the unrealisticness. The weapon damage may be a bit more polished, but some features are just ridiculous. Games are supposed to be a bit unrealistic for gameplay purposes, but things like a tomahawk hitting someone's foot and instakilling him just doesnt make sense, no matter how you think. What are they, Achilles? Also, the ballistic knife is just sad. Nobody, not even a trained professional can throw/(shoot out of a spring loaded chamber) a knife straight with lethal force for 50+ meters, much less hit them in the neck or head in order to actually kill someone. The one thing I like about Black Ops is the online multiplayer. Call of Duty tends to have excellent multiplayer, which is quite addicting. Overall, Black Ops is a decent game, although done to death. seven games in a series is just tiring, without much new content. It's worth playing if you enjoy first person shooters with online multiplayer.

Review #2: Team Fortress 2. (TF2) Editor's score: 7.5/10 Graphics snobs score: 2/10 Team Fortress 2 is a strictly Multiplayer game made by Valve, with simple concepts and entertaining gameplay. It was originally made to be a filler game in the Orange Box, (a game set that consists of half life 2, HL ep1/2, Portal and TF2) but it turned out to be very popular with first person shooter enthusiasts. Like its predecessors, //Team Fortress 2// is focused around two opposing teams competing for a principal objective. These teams, Reliable Excavation & Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU), are meant to represent two holding corporations that between them secretly control every government on the planet. Players can choose to play as one of nine classes in these teams, each with his own unique strengths and weaknesses
