Yesterday I bought Modern Warfare 2, simply because the best buy I work at finally got a used copy, and the used copy was only $30 on my staff discount:D And yesterday I finished the campaign on normal. Yay? I mean, it's cool to say I beat it the day I bought it (as soon as the credits started rolling I texted by neighbour who is a hardcore COD fan to brag), but still a 5 hour campaign is a little disappointing. Not that I'm surprised at all. Or even unsatisfied, not even close. The campaign is intense and goes hard the entire time. And the ending...? If you've played it you know what I am talking about. Unfortunately MW2 will likely sit on my shelf most of the time. I'm going to give the online a try but once school starts up again I will likely give it up in favour of other more appealing games. Spec Ops is a great addition and it's good to finally have a game with some solid split screen multiplayer.

About a week ago I finished my first playthrough on Borderlands. I had set myself up for an ending that "makes the whole game a waste" as I distinctly remember one GS user telling me. Honestly I was not as put out by the ending as that user or most of the reviewers seemed to be. The game is more about your journey, gaining better weapons and levelling up. The story did a good job of tieing it altogether, and the ending for me didn't leave me disappointed. I am on my second playthrough and am a level 39 soldier. I'm asking for a PSN card for Christmas so I can download the zombie island DLC. After that, my goal is to platinum Borderlands. The only trophy that will take a while is getting level 50, but other that that I more or less have them all.

My next blog will be my year end awards blog. Now that I have MW2 I might as well wait until I've explored multiplayer and Spec Ops a little more so I can include the game in my decisions fairly.
