Call of Duty

     I found myself surfing around on Steam a few weeks ago when I came across a deal. £19.99 for Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive and Call of Duty 2. "This is too good to be true," I thought. I had lost the disks for these games so many years ago. They're great games to spend time on, and it was worth every penny. Call of Duty is coming to eight years old, and yet it still makes me feel amazing, just playing it through. It brings back memories of a younger me, getting into shooters and PC gaming for the first time, shooting Nazi germans, charging through Europe, running for cover in Russia.
     The game itself has great gameplay. Despite the old graphics, it is so much more challenging than the new ones, the soldiers are scripted better, the whole game is just... Better. It's of a better time. At least, gamewise. Before the series became an excuse to milk money, before Activision became money hungry, before they stopped making all but 3 or 4 game series.
     The characters are so much nicer, too. They're helpful, theres more of them, they're witty. It makes me long for these better times.
