So, despite 2007 being the year of Portal, Bioshock, and Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4 came out and was widely hailed as one of the best action games of the year.
I'm usually not into straight military games, and I had never really paid attention to the Call of Duty series before.
But, after hearing all the hype, recommendations from co-workers, and finally seeing a deal to snag a copy for just over $30, I checked it out.
Glad that I did.
The game is beautifully done (looks great on my older hardware), very action-packed, and manages to tie together a bunch of fairly different mission styles with a coherent, mostly plausible story.
I think I completed the game over the course of 3 weekends, which was a little on the short side, but still acceptable.
The multiplayer is reputed to be very good, but I haven't given it much time yet - still will at some point.
Anyway, pretty pleased with that one overall.
