OK - I took your advice and got COD4.

I enjoyed the shit out of the single player campaign, and while short - its incredible, immersive, and addicting.

the online play is really where you can get your moneys worth, I am ranked a four star general and im about to enter prestige mode, where you lose all of your upgrades and rank for a little avatar that says, "hey, ive already beat the game - prepare to be fragged."

anyway - good choice.

so here is the new question: I need another game. any thoughts?
