I managed to put down Oblivion, and got Call of Duty 2 the other day, and have been playing away on its single-player. I haven't even touched its online yet. So far I'm done with the Soviet and British campaign on hardened difficulty, and am really stuck on the first American mission (the prerequisite D-Day mission). It's really good so far, and I'll definitely be testing its online waters in the next few days.

I downloaded my first Xbox Live Marketplace demo about an hour ago, the single-player Lost Planet demo (took about fifteen minutes to download). To be totally honest, I'm really happy I got Call of Duty 2 instead. It's not that I hate it, it just doesn't warrant any where near $60. Yeah, the graphics look good, but it's the same kind of third-person shooter we've been playing for ten years. It feels old. But my biggest complaint by far is the white. Every environment, excluding the occasional deserted parking garage, is covered by really bright white snow. It gives me a headache.

Lastly, I still have 1200 Marketplace points left, exactly enough to get Uno and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, both of which center around the online play. I'm really enticed by both, does anyone have any comments for either? Well, the Golden Globes come on in an hour, and Heroes better win best new TV whatever-category-it's-nominated-in, or I'll be mad. Good night everyone! :)

P.S.
If anyone looks at my collection list, they may notice one of the Burger King games on there.  Don't ask.  Just don't ask.
