Plantronics Gamecom 367

Alright i'm switching it up and am going to review this gaming headset. The plantronics gamecom 367 is sold as closed ear headphones and is really cheap at 60 or you could get it on sale (like i did) for $25. Alright time for the review. The Good: there pretty comfortable though a bit tight when i first took them out of the package but a few hours later they are really comfortable. These things have HUGE headphone cups i mean i have big ears and these fit right over them without touching the sides of the cup the cups are made of velvet and so is the padding on the headband. The microphone is pretty good since i was playing for a couple hours with friends on COD:WAW zombies and they heard me fine.

The Bad: This headset has a pretty cheap feel like if i play around with them they will break but so far after a little abuse they are still fine. Really tight around your ears out of the box but this will happen with any headset or it could be caused by my pretty big head. THESE ARE NOT CLOSED HEADPHONES even though these are sold as closed ear there really not i can still hear the outside clearly which really disappointed me. There is really nothing really bad about these so I'm gonna give them a 9 out of 10. I will update this in a couple of months to tell you if they broke or not. Also check out my youtube I'm going to post a video review of these and how do hook up headphones with 3.5mm jacks to your ps3 WITH GAME SOUND.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Alright today i will be reviewing the great (or so people believe) MW2. The Good: it has a pretty good campaign it is pretty short as it only took me six hours to beat on veteran. good amount of killstreaks but i was let down with how few weapons there really are. Some good online modes like search and destroy and the hardcore modes. hackers really dont seem to go in those game modes. other than that  theres really nothing good about the game. The bad: the other game modes. WAY to many hackers in them to have a fun game. Weapon selection they really didnt put a lot of weapons in the game which really dissapointed me. The Ugly: 1 word HACKERS there are SO MANY OF THEM that it is so hard to have a fun online experience with the online. I think if IW had a beta the hackers wouldnt have been so bad but no IW was to lazy and they made quite a bad online game. Overall (i have to keep the online separate from the single player score) Single player: 8 out of 10 Muiltiplayer: 6 out of 10 since infinity ward is falling apart i doubt that there will be any more patches so this is all i am going to give it. If you are going to buy this just for the single player dont bother with it until the price drops.

Battlefield Bad Company 2

Yes i am starting off my blog with the infamous Battlefield Bad Company 2. This is the second game in the Bad Company series and is on the PC, PS3, and Xbox360. I will be reviewing the PC version of the game tonight since it is the only version i own currently. The Good: great graphics, they are not as good as Crysis but come on is anything? GREAT multiplayer, i am not kidding this is one of the best online games i have ever played. Just like in the single player campaign EVERYTHING can be destroyed the only problem with it is when houses are destroyed there are a TON of particles and it will lag your comp it also has quite a good amount of unlockable weapons and other items. decent campaign, it doesnt reach the greatness of the COD games but it is pretty good. The Bad: i cant really think of anything really bad besides the terrible player movement other than that there really isnt anything besides a few minor things like multiplayer takes quite some time to load and some glitching noobs but that really isnt the games fault since the multiplayer hacking service is punkbuster oh i almost forgot about the few maps and the few game modes that DICE decided to put into it but they are still releasing free DLC for the PC and on consoles it's a few bucks. Overall i would give this game a 8.5 out of 10
with a few patches and some new maps and game mods this game could easily become one of the greatest of all time.
