I bought both, but if you could only afford one, here is what I have to say...

In all seriousness, Call of Duty 4, in my opinion, is the best shooter so far ever released.

Yes, it's that good. I was expecting it to be more of the same ole same ole, but boy was I wrong.

The single player game, although short, is the most epic, satisfying single player FPS experience I have ever had. The Ghillie suit level where you run around Chernobyl was practically better than the entire game of Stalker by itself.

And the Multiplayer? It's godly. It takes the modern tactical gameplay feel of excellent games like Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six, and GRAW, and melds it with a persistent advancement systerm that is better than Battlefield's, and comes out with the most amazing online system I have ever seen or played.

You have every conceivable game mode you could ever want, and can play it in any way you want.

You want Team Deathmatch? Fine, play it standard, or old school (where pickups are on the ground like Quake/Unreal Tournament), or hardcore (where you have no HUD, can use only iron sights to aim, and die VERY easily), or whatever custom combination of anything you like.

Sabotage is an excellent play mode. You can play it either like CS, where one team needs to bomb a site or 2 and the other have to defend, or you can play where the bomb is in the middle of the map, and both struggle to get the bomb and bomb the other side.

You have you classic Free-for-all deathmatch, team deatchmatch, king of the kill, and many other excellent game modes.

Every gun feels exactly right. The sound, the soundtrack, the graphics, the effects, the physics, are all awesome. The game properly calculates how each gun could really fire a bullet through different surfaces. Buddy standing on the other side of some cinderblocks? If you have the right gun you can shoot him, if you have a weak gun, you can't. It's not like CS where you can only shoot through wood.

If you haven't gotten the point buy now, I find this game HIGHLY praiseworthy. I thought it was going to be more of the same, but instead it turned out to be the best FPS I have ever played.

It is my opinion that this is the best game I have ever played EVEN CONSIDERING the Crysis Beta and SP Demo, and all other FPS that I have played (all of them).

If you haven't played this game yet, you are missing out on somethign truly fantastic.

I see Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare 69.95.

Bizarre... it doesn't seem to be part of a bundle. Maybe a bug?

Maybe you are looking at canadian dollars or something?

Steam is seriously the best thing since sliced bread. I have 45 games in my library, and have never had one second of problems with ANY of them.

It keeps all my games up to date without me having to do anything, keeps them patched up to play online, and many other great features.

I love Steam to death.

Same, makes it possible for me to buy games at a much cheaper price :P

The street date is tomorrow. Nobody will release it for online delivery until tomorrow.

If you can pick it up in box form today, bravo, but officially, the game hits the street tomorrow, not today.

Both games require a huge time investment. Just to get through the main story in HG:L is 30 hours (not even including playing the MP) and The Witcher boasts 80 hours of campaign + quests.

It takes time to review games like this...no need for conspiracies and silly things :roll:

've already finished The Witcher, and I have a full time job, family, and go to night school. A person whose job it is to play games should have finished by now and have reviewed it. There is no excuse.

The Witcher came out 6 days ago (US Release - Oct 30th), if you played 80 hours (heck, lets say you only played 40)in the last 6 days I can imagine your family is pretty pissed at you right now...

Right, but for a guy who JOB IT IS to play games to have not finished it right now, is pretty sad.
