Wintertime and Games
Filed under Entertainment, Games, Thoughts.
The wintertime is strategically planned by the gaming industry to release their most valuable videogames for the holiday shopping frenzy to begin.
While I don’t play videogames like I used to, this is the time where I can really enjoy sitting in on a cold winter night killing some terrorists or sneak-attack an unsuspecting bystander.
Since I don’t have the time or the money to play the next-gen console games, I do sporadically play quite a bit of pc games.
I’ve always been a longtime fan of Counter-Strike Source. When I’m feeling competitive, I like to pwn and flame a few clan members with my moderate skills in leetspeak.
I also bought Steam’s Orange Box for the revolutionary Portal, which I had a blast playing, a little short though. Team Fortress 2 is a nice addition.
Call of Duty 4 is my current favorite. The single player is a roller coaster ride from start to finish and the multiplayer part is extremely fun.
I was really looking forward to playing Crysis, from the creators of Far Cry, but my fairly decent 2 year old pc chokes and barely meets the minimum requirements, so that’s out.
…Oh well, less wasted time I guess.
