Call of Duty: World At War Review
Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter game available for the PC, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3. Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, this action-packed video game takes place in World War 2 and focuses on the most famous battles of its time. The game has pretty much the same game play as Call of Duty 4, just a different setting.
Call of Duty: World at War has taken its franchise’s realism to a whole new level. The graphics look better than ever. Hence, when you play it you are totally engulfed by the game. You feel as if you really are a soldier in the middle of nowhere, fighting for your life in decayed environments.
Call of Duty: World at War has definitely adopted a more mature theme than its previous game. This game builds on the grittiness and darkness of war. There is plenty of violence and blood for those demented people who enjoy this sort of game.
Zombie Levels
Once the campaign version of this game ends and the credits finish running, you will be eligible to play the zombie levels. In these levels, you must battle monstrous zombies in a building until your death. Killing the zombies will gain you access to new weapons in the location. However, the zombies will not surrender easily. They will continuously break boarded entrances to try to reach and kill you. You have the option to rebuild the entrances to keep the zombies out the building as much as possible.
Nazi Zombies: If you wait for the game credits to end after you have completed the campaign, you get the opportunity to behave like a zombie hunter. The Nazi Zombie level is a mini-game set in a map called Nacht der Untoten, which is German for “night of the undead”. You play as a soldier stuck in a deteriorated house. Your goal is to survive waves of bloodthirsty zombies for as long as you can. Defeating these hideous creatures will gain you access to more weapons in the area.
Japanese Zombies: The Japanese zombie level is a vigorous one. It takes place on a map named Shi No Numa (Japanese for Death Swamp) and the name of this map suits it well. You will be able to play this map once you have completed the Nazi zombies map.
Call of Duty: World at War for the PC
If you are trying to play Call of Duty: World at War on your PC, it probably will not be able to run. Call of Duty is one of the most demanding games performance-wise. You will need a highly sophisticated PC to play this game.
Overall
There is nothing negative to say about this game. It has wondrous graphics, a great storyline, and action-packed game play. What more could the ultimate gaming geek ask for? The Call of Duty franchise has been a favorite for many, and the game’s developers will continue to create these fantastic games. These games are truly epic.

Soul Calibur 4 Review
Created by Namco Bandai Games, Soul Calibur 4 is an action-based one-on-one fighting game available now on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the fourth installment to the Soul franchise. The story gyrates around an extraordinary sword that obtained an evil soul due to years of bloodshed. Each character of your choice must undergo a series of battles in order to reach and destroy the evil sword.
The Good:
Excellent graphics: This game is an absolutely gorgeous game to watch. The graphics are simply breathtaking and have come a long way since the first installment to the Soul franchise. The game play graphics are almost as great as the cinema graphics and each stage is outstandingly designed and responds to the character movement (example: Wooden floors break when characters fall onto it).
Enchanting music: The game features thrilling instrumental music to keep you involved while engaged in a fierce battle.
The characters are still awesome: As the years go by, you’d think that the characters would lose their styles and skills due to the game development. This, however, is not true with Soul Calibur 4. While each character is modified so that players don’t become bored by repetition, each character retains their signature moves.
Easy as pie: The game is fairly easy to play. Any person could beat another simply by button smashing. There is a block button, a kick button, and two attack buttons. You can use other combinations of these buttons to unleash devastating blows to your opponent.
Weapons: Soul Calibur 4 has tons of weapons that vary in range, speed, and power. Pick one of the thirty-four characters and see whose weapon suits your taste.
The Bad:
Wardrobe: Some of those character costumes have got to go. Namco overdid it a bit this time and got a little too fancy with the attire.
Uninteresting story: The storyline is a bit boring and lazy is you ask me.
Ring outs: Any Soul Calibur player knows that ring outs are the cheapest ways to win a match. It is also the most annoying way to lose. Imagine this: You’re kicking butt with your favorite player. One more hit, and your opponent is dead! Oh no! Your opponent kicks you one time and you’re thrown out of the battlefield! Let’s face it: Rings outs suck! The worst part is… You cannot turn this irritating feature off.
Let’s compare!
Soul Calibur 4 vs. Tekken 6: Namco is also famous for its revolutionary franchise, Tekken. Tekken is one of the earliest 3D fighting games. Don’t get me wrong. I love Tekken 6. I grew up playing the Tekken games. It is a lovely game, but Soul Calibur 4 is much more pleasant to play. The moves in Soul Calibur 4 are cooler to watch. If you like hardcore street fighting, go with Tekken 6. If you like weapons and cute characters, go with Soul Calibur 4.
Overall:
Soul Calibur 4 is worth buying and it is a good game to add to your collection. Despite some negative aspects of the game, it definitely has come a long way since the earlier games in the franchise.
