Still not sure where your holiday gaming money should be spent? We have yet another big year-end release in our review sights for you today with
Call of Duty: World At War from Treyarch and Activision.
In the past Treyarch have been under fire for delivering lesser than their big studio brothers, Infinity Ward, but with their latest Call of Duty offering they've really upped the ante.
This is by no means as big a leap for the franchise as Modern Warfare was, but it's very solid gameplay experience.
Check out our full review for the in-depth skinny, and be sure visit our
CoD: WAW game page for all related info and media.

9.2 from steve is enough for me
Posted 05:45pm 20/11/08
Go play 1.6
Stephen, I am keen to see what score you give l4d. Will it be better than far cry 2 and deadspace?

i was expecting to just jump in and it would be the same as cod4 except ww2, but it's taking a bit of getting used to
is it just me of is there no hud ?
over all you can see it's not as polished as cod4, seems to crash more often when you alt tab and s***

well paid $56 for it. cdwow.com.au has $2 off everything today :)
dont buy it off steam its rip off also i see COD 4 cheaper on steam now... but still $100 AUD

it's just not as polished as cod4, it's quite a let down
cod4 is so seamless, this just stinks of unfinished
the sounds is totally f***ed, someone standing next to you with a machine gun and you pretty much can't hear them at all, you practically spawn right next to enemies sometimes and vice versa. it doesn't work with xfire because it has to download profile information everytime you load the game. it's f*****g aids for alt tabbing
9.2 out of 10 steve farrelly? seriously? then was what cod4.. like 13 or something?

although cod4 is so perfect for competitive gaming the feel of waw is very similar imo. i left cod2 because its engine was inferior but using the cod4 engine for ww2 rifles action might be fun.
i will get into multiplayer tonight i expect.
edit: also nice review, steve.

No big loss, xfire sucks.
If you have no hud, you're playing on a hardcore server.
If you played UO and even cod 2 and liked it, chances are you will like this.
My only gripe is the points distribution of kills depending on the game type, well how it's set by default (most servers won't change this). 50 for S&D and 5 for TDM blows goats.

no it wasn't, as in RIGHT NEXT TO THEM
cod4 seemed to distribute spawning better, but i think it's more to do with the stupid maps alot of them are just little round maps where you get a kill or 2 and thats it because someone will always jew you from behind which gets pretty old
yeah i figured out i was in HC mode, because this game is so s*** and doesn't work with xfire all the servers i joined first time were all HC

Seriously how do they miss s*** like this in games no-a-days. It is almost a no-brainer.
Posted 10:07am 27/11/08
the big maps with the tanks are good, but some of the real small bowl type ones are just utter s***
