  So Ready For Modern Warfare 2

  I feel like this COD will be the best one yet! The customized kill streak, new and more accurate weapons, and more game modes. This kind of multiplayer action will keep me playing this one game for as long as I could clutch a controller. When I first heard about the second installment of COD4:Modern Warfare I spent hours on the internet trying to find the latest info. I think I've watched the multiplayer videos for Modern Warfare 2 atleast 20 billion times (lol). I've become such an feen for the new game and have already pre-ordered it. I can't wait to pick it up and if your reading this you probably feel the same way.

  Will Game Graphics Become TOO REALISTIC?!?!?

  Games are becoming more realistic by the year. As game developers strive the perfect game, every gamer and developer knows that you can't do this without the right graphics. But soon the time will come when a game will become extremely realistic. This what every gamer would want, right? The perfect graphics we have been striving for years, the sleek look of a FPS (First Person Shooter)as the bullets shot of the chamber and the perfect looking reload sequence, the detailed jersey of an athlete in a sports game as he shot the game winning bucket, or the curvy, detailed look of an heroine in as she fought crime by beating goons to the pulp. This great transition of gaming might not be as pleasing as you might think.

  As you know human eyes are highly developed thanks to evolution. The developed so that we could see if we in any kind of danger in the wild from bigger animals, but now things are different. Alright lets get back to games. If you have ever noticed, when you play games on older consoles graphics are generally low grade so you don't notice all the knicks and crannys. In more highly developed systems like the Xbox 360 when your play a game like Gears Of War, Halo, or COD you notice the small glitches. It's hard to explain this but if you a pure gamer you know what I'm talking about. Well getting to the point games can't become to realistic because our brains are harder to fool. For example, In 1978, a Japanese roboticist, Masahiro Mori, noticed that the more human like his robots became, the more people were attracted to them. This only lasted for so long because if an android become too realistic and lifelike people were repelled by it.

  I hate to say it but this is true with video games, the better a game looks the more your brain inadvertantly looks for the small things wrong with it. In a way this is were glitchers and modders come in, but that's another story.
