Which you should.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h5>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00503E8S2\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00503EAG2\/panandscathed-20\">PC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00503E9FY\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a while since any videogame has significantly crossed over into the mainstream culture, but the &#8216;Call of Duty&#8217; franchise has pulled that off. Even people who don&#8217;t play games know the name, and they&#8217;re not quite as down on it as they tend to be on &#8216;World of Warcraft&#8217; or &#8216;Guitar Hero&#8217;. &#8216;Modern Warfare 3&#8217; promises plenty of new single-player adventures, but multi-player is the real attraction here. Killstreaks have been re-envisioned, as has the ranking system. New game modes have been added, tweaks were made in gameplay, and an optional Elite subscription gives you access to your stats, monthly DLC and more.<\/p>\n<h5>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004HYK956\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004HYIAPM\/panandscathed-20\">PC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004HYK8Y8\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>When I was 14, I played so much &#8216;Daggerfall&#8217; that I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/tetris-effect\/\">walked face-first into a wall<\/a> fully expecting that I&#8217;d climb up it like my character in the game did. The last two games in the &#8216;Elder Scrolls&#8217; series haven&#8217;t quite captured my attention in the same way, but I fully expect &#8216;Skyrim&#8217; to consume my life \u2013 or at least next weekend. I&#8217;ve been avoiding too much information about the game, since learning mechanics and making characters is what I live for, but I&#8217;ve heard a developer quoted as saying that &#8216;Skyrim&#8217; plays more like &#8216;Fallout&#8217; than &#8216;Oblivion&#8217;. That gets me very excited. The only question now: 360 or PC?<\/p>\n<h5>Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0050SYOOA\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0050SX97I\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>Have I mentioned how much I love the trend of classic games getting the HD treatment? Well, I&#8217;m going to mention it again. I love the trend of classic games getting the HD treatment. A lot. Being able to play the games I love without suffering black bars and chunky graphics is amazing. The &#8216;Metal Gear Solid HD Collection&#8217; includes &#8216;Metal Gear Solid 2&#8217;, &#8216;Metal Gear Solid 3&#8217; and &#8216;Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker&#8217;. You&#8217;ll also be able to access versions of &#8216;Metal Gear&#8217; and &#8216;Metal Gear 2&#8217; from within &#8216;Metal Gear Solid 3&#8217;.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, nothing big coming out this week, guess we can just move on.
