Nope. Sorry.

Of course my video game life is tailored to having a Wii and a 5 and ~11 year old plus a wife who finds the whole video game thing a complete waste of time and money.

It's a tricky balance.  ;D

I didn't take you to be the kind that would like Super Mario 64.

Won't work on my system. I can barely run Crysis, which BTW is pretty awesome in graphics. I can only imagine what Dx10 would be like.

COD4 will be on my list when i finsish A.C.  and Turok... and when i can find a used copy for about $35-$40.  i knew i should have snagged it on that amazon sale

I almost snagged COD4 too but decided I need to get a new computer first. (looks like that will be a couple months away though)  :sad3:

Apparently even this far into my married-adult life, I'm still hardwired to get a little bit panicky over statements like "a few months late."

i played COD4 a few nights ago at a buddy's place on the 360, it was insane in the graphics-  we only played a few rounds of heads up multiplayer,  but it really really was pristine all throughout,  no bogdowns, no smoke/fire  graphics flaws, etc.    the only thing holding me back from getting it is  :  he said the single player game mode is very short, and I don't play online yet... so...

heh

pffftt.  At a few months you're already arguing about whether the theme is Winnie the Pooh or Disney Princesses

One of my co-workers has it and all he does is play online. He has played all night before. I think this game was really meant to be played online instead of single player.

No game consoles here.

Have played COD4 and while visually cool, I bored of it rather quickly.  How many times can you remake a FPS and be stimulating?  I still prefer ET:Quake Wars - while not as visually cool (still good, just not 'fantastic'), its teamwork and game play are more interesting.

follow up,  i finished this 1st pass with about 70% total completion (according to gamerscore)  in about 40 hours of playtime.    totally badass except* for makign me want the sequel to be out RIGHT *fiddlesticks*N NOW.    oh well, probably 6-10 months to finish that last 30%.  oh, and to hone in on the art of the 'comical kill'
