Arcade Game: Worms

The way this game works is that each person gets a 1min. turn, they can move and attack then the next person goes.
It is surprisingly strategic, requiring no little amount of though.
It is also surprisingly luck-based,meaning shots fired can be drawn the other way by wind, or grenades bounce wrong and kill YOU.
I took it to a Party and it was played for 8 straight hours!!
It is worth the money, as the game is fun and the dialog made me laugh,
like when the worms go suicidal, they scream, in this squeaky voice, "KAMIKAZE!!"
I hope to see some people online, it wasn't very active when I tried it.

2-Part Postification

Ok, first, is the announcement that the Boycott of Battlefield:Bad Company is over, EA is changing their plans so chill.
Second is that I am now FINALLY getting to try Mass Effect, and so far it is cool, review to follow

Halo 3 Legendary Maps

I am sad, not because of the price, not because of the wort hof the maps, but because I think that maps just SUCK!
I mean, one is a copy of Lockout, my most hated map excepting Coag, in all of Halo 2
The the Sidewinder remake is fine, except the Nerfed(weakened) the FREAKING HORNET!!!!
Now it has now rockets, and the guns are lower power, now if they just cut one or two things fine, but they turned the flying tank into a useless piece of junk, I did an experiment with a friend, he charged his Spartan Laser at the same time I started shooting him with my guns, he beat me three times, the guns cannot even fight people on foot.
Then Ghost Town, I don't know about anybody else, but a deserted water plant is not my idea of cool, there is no vehicle functionality, and the rest is so messed up that an open fight is all you can do.
As for the Forge aspect, the only real additions are the Ramp, which is exactly what is sounds like, the
watchtower Base, hexagonal box with a ramp, and it is not stackable(not in a useful fashion anyway), finally there are FX , or filters that can change the look of a level, from color Blind, which makes it black and white, to Pen and Ink that makes the whole thing look like a comic Book.
Totally useless to most people as it ruins visibility, and changes the affect of Flares and other items.
Bungie, If this is what I pay $10.00 for , I'll see you On Cod4

FREEWARE!!

Yup, I got another program on My Computer, this time it's a ripoff of a real game rather than a standalone.
And it is good, It is called FlightGear
It is basically a free Flight Sim, and it is worth the time to download.
It is Bolstered by a HUGE list of planes that can be added after downloading it(if you know how)
Also there are something like 20,000 airports available.
The game is good, though the tutorials are too few, as certain planes require a huge startup sequence and there isn't a tutorial for them.
The game runs well, except for certain Slideshow-esque slowdowns in flight, and the fact that it is so complicated to do things, rather than an ingame hangar and location chooser it is in a dialog box along with Executable files and other such GreekSpeak(i.e. Stuff beyond my Ken)
Over all good, but if you have a weak PC, consider Space Invaders

M16's and N00Bs

Ok, you've probably guessed that I enjoy Call of Duty4 more than pretty much any other game out there.
But I'm getting sick of it, not on any basis of gameplay, it is the PEOPLE, namely the people on their 5th-6th Prestige(Playthrough), still using the gun made for new guys, the M16.
This gun is a 1-shot kill and fires more accurately than most Sniper Rifles, It is also more powerful at close range than a Shottie, Hence it is good.
That is not my dispute, my issue is that this gun was MADE for the new guy, it is grossly overpowered, and it dominates almost any game, obviously it is beatable, I do so often, but having a disadvantage because some bozo is playing the N00b guns is lame.
I cannot stand when some little 10-yearold punk is on his 10th Prestige and thinks he's the Terminator, because he is using a gun that can out shoot any gun in a fair battle.
Try a game and having your longest streak ever broken by a player of obviously little skill but who has an M16.
It is Infuriating!
I am not saying that the game needs to be "fixed" but I think that if you are level 25 or higher you should opt out of this gun and let people have a little fun.
Just a thought.

Cod4 Variety Maps

Ok, It's been some days now, so I can Speak with some degree of understanding about how the maps are played, and their quality.
First is Creek, My favorite of the bunch.
This map is HUGE, spanning a river bed and a small housing area on either side.
Creek is a Sniper's paradise, boasting more Grass and cover than even Overgrown and Bog.
I find that this map always creates an unbalanced game, not one favoring somebody, but that the games are never close, one team is ALWAYS walking all over the other, mainly because a good sniper can stop any sort of entrance to the desired area by himself.
The caves make a good avenue across the map, but both exits are easily Mined and more easily Covered.
Second, Broadcast
Okay, first off this map is unique in it's layout, mainly because it has a second floor that is more than a single room, up to now, Cod4 has had problems with the way it seemed to always be playing in a field with towers, This level is multistory.
As for Sniping, the level lends itself well to any player, a gifted runner with a shotgun could easily circumvent Snipers and get behind people, but at the same time a gifted sniper could easily get to a well-defended position and rule the map.
Chinatown,
I'm not overwhelmed with joy about this map, but it has it's fun.
This map is all about medium-Short range, sniper areas are practically non-existent, I see far too many M16's for my liking too.
Anyway, This map is fun for the Shotgun Loonies that we all know, and a skilled player can hide in a building and run three streets for his team.
The Turrets are a puzzle to me, they are easily destroyed but at the same time they cover such central parts of the map that I find them irritating at all points and I wish they hadn't been included.
Last and Least is Killhouse
Utter Disappointment abounds here, the map is smaller than Shipment and has less cover, it features a tower in the center and some buildings on the sides, most enraging is getting a kill streak and watching your air strike land on the roof or your helicopter hover in stupidity above the fray.
I hope that IW makes more of these packs and that they perhaps find a way to integrate new abilities to replace air support on closed maps.
GET THESE, KILLHOUSE NOTWITHSTANDING THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE OLD MAPS.

Freeware!!

Toribash
Is an awesome little game, by controlling joints on a 3D figure you can make him fight an opponent, it has an online Aspect but I just like beating the Stuffings out of the computer.
Minor problems include, faulty logic(certain moves will move your character in a direction other than the logical on) and a tough interface(it is a whole new level of suck trying to find a replay)
The game is free and worth the time to get, if you get it, I have a small list of moves from the Wiki and some homemade setups, comment if you care.
