GRAW2 was a game I was always sort of seeing how it turned out because I was such a huge fan of Ghost Recon 1 and 2. But after the first GRAW came out and playing it I just didn’t feel like giving it the time of day. Well recently I was in Best Buy and saw GRAW2 on sale for mega cheap so I picked it up. WOW! Boy did I miss a lot of fun gaming! It is essentially the same game as Ghost Recon 2 in terms of game modes with the added bonus of cover system, aggressive (albeit stupid) AI, and more explosings. Furthermore, they recreated my favorite map, Embassy, for GRAW2!!!! HORRAY!

FIFA 09 was also a game on my watch list but it soon fell off after the bigger names of the season came out. I have been on an FPS rage for a year or two now, hell even Fallout 3 is an FPS (RPG). Anyways, I was playing my brother in NHL09 and getting my rear end handed to me on a silver platter so we decided to play some FIFA 09. Boy is this game fun! The best part about FIFA is its depth. With hockey I have always felt the action was too mucky and quick to be able to inject any strategy (games, not real hockey) whereas Football games have always been about the passing and setting up that one beautiful lob or pass that gets you in perfect position for striking. Well FIFA is no different. It is fast and somewhate easy to pick up but deep enough that mastering it will take awhile. Unfortunately I only have the demo because the game is still $60. Maybe Santa will be uber nice this year?
