The millions of dollars made on console means IW/Acti/Sledgehammer (who??) means they won't give a flying **** about a handful of PC players have a cry.

I traded it in with Uncharted 3

Not bad so far. I think I prefer BC2/BF3 style graphics better though. Remarkably similar elements to BF3 which is rather amusing. I'm not going in with high expectations so it's probably why I'm enjoying it more than **** Ops.

Dunno, I think MW1 is my favorite to be honest, particularly SP

A couple of reviews are up, GamesRadar and IGN most notably. Both have been pretty positive about it but do mention a very short campaign. Though if you're buying this thinking it was going to be a long campaign you were a little delusional :D

Still getting lots of 90%s :-/ Methinks lots of reviewers may be wearing rose coloured glasses...

Even though they're mostly the same thing rehashed every year, they are far from bad games. When you're in their position I guess resting on your laurels is easier than trying to reinvent the wheel(and makes you every bit as much money) :|

I would like to see a review done on PC like the old days.. Its pretty much the best version to review because it actually points out the game's flaws.

Which is why numbers as a way to measure how good a game is fail.

The game is identical to MW2 which got super positive reviews. We haven't really advanced what a FPS is since then, why wouldn't the same game get the same reviews?

As mentioned in a previous thread the metacritic scores are amusing.
