| I suppose I died most inside the alien cavern, but damn did this game have some great moments, and a few pesky nags thats for sure.
Maybe it depends on your fighting style as well. COD4 seems like a press on at all costs or die kind of game. Cool, but I do like a little tactical approach now and then. Seems COD4 pretty much decided which gamestyle you had to play at any given time. At least I had the option of breaching a base rambo style, or cloak and dagger killy style.
I think what bothers me is that for an extra 4 hours of supposed 'mediocre play' in crysis, this game gets pegged down a notch, whereas cod has a very, very short campaign, and the review tends to overlook that a little more. Maybe thats just my interpretation, but if its true, it sets a dangerous precedent. Games are short enough as is. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Mars and Jupiter did form in a similar fashion relative to Pluto. Pluto doesn't dominate its region of space gravitationally. A more traditional planet acts like a big vaccuum by accreting all the smaller crap in its regions to the point that it essentially is all that's left save for a few chunks in satellite orbit. Pluto however has dozens and dozens of partners within the kuiper belt (many are even larger) so its by no means a stable system like a traditional planet. The dwarf planet status is a scientific definition in the sense that it highlights the evolutionary differences between the two classes. One dominates its local region of space gravitationally, the other does not. This definition would also be fair to other solar systems as well.
Hope that clarifies things.

| | I'm glad this finally happened. It was only a matter of time before we would find dozens of pluto-like planets in the kuiper belt. Not only do they not form like normal planets, but they're all tiny in the first place. They shouldn't be classified as traditional planets. Flag this | Edit this post |
