Many readers of Alternative Magazine Online will no doubt have read my earlier critique, detailing how I felt Modern Warfare’ 2’s single player experience short-changed gamers. Yet of course, Modern Warfare 2 is much more than just a 6 hour single player campaign. With my full review, I plan to further expand on my previous criticisms, whilst also shedding light upon several factors that, for many, will make this game a must buy regardless…

Frequent readers of Alternative Magazine Online know that we do our best to cover all mediums when it comes to games. Duncan has put some of the Xbox 360’s best games under the microscope, while Matt researches hot portable and PC titles, and our editor and site owner Marty has reviewed some of the Playstation 3’s must-have titles this year. This usually leaves yours truly covering the Nintendo side of things (though now that Marty has gotten himself a brand new Wii, I might just convert him yet!) and it’s a job I enjoy quite a bit!
That said, we’ve only got a few short weeks until Christmas ’09, so most people already have their shopping lists sorted. Yep, it’s that magical time of the year where toy ad’s run around the clock, people meet with their strange elderly relatives they see once every two years and in my house, the electric bill soars from putting up too many lights. Still though, if you’re a fan of Nintendo’s stronger names, then 2010 will be a big year. (And not just because we can stop saying that really long “two thousand and…” biz).

Having recently played Fallout 3 on my Playstation 3, I decided I wanted to go back to where the series first started on PC. Fallout is a game that was perhaps before my time (I was only 9 when it came out!) but that I still knew of in my early gaming days regardless. It is truly a cult classic of 90’s gaming.
Revisiting it today, it is amazing in retrospect how the basic blueprint of Fallout 3 follows the original so closely! (Especially since the original was made by Black Isle Studios and the latest instalment was made by Bethesda Softworks…) Obviously, much of what worked then still works now. But just how well has the original aged?

Okay, so I am a total hypocrite. After years of ranting about how the Nintendo Wii isn’t a real games console, I went and bought one. A black limited edition Wii no less, perfectly matching my launch 60gb PS3. Here are my thoughts:
