There have recentley been lots of complaints given to ESRB which is a company that rates games about the rating of 18 they have given to new call of duty game black ops. The reason that this has been criticized is because like modern warfare 2 you can turn off the blood, bad language and you don't have to play any gory levels if you don't want to and this won't make any difference to the storyline.
So, should call of duty black ops be an 18 or should treayach realease a 15 version for those people that are not allowed 18 rated games. if you have any opinions email me on gary.cunningham190@googlemail.com

Call of Duty : Black ops launch night
Call of duty Black Ops came out on Tuesday and has already sold lots of copys! Loads of people have played it and are mainly focused on the Online Multiplayer more than the single player campaingn because according to my friends they are more focused on getting a good prestige level because that is what makes them stand out in the playstation and xbox community.
As for the Launch night at all Game stores around England, it was massive and every GAME store was packed. That was hardly suprising because this is supposed to be the best game of the year according the the votes at the Golden Joysticks Awards 2010.

James bond quantum of solace reveiw
James Bond quantum of solace review
James Bond quantum of solace is a really good game, it has the right level of action and has a very good storyline but some of the levels are kind of hard.
Gameplay (single player)
The Gameplay in quantum of solace is amazing it has lots of action but it doesn’t have enough to make you get bored of the game because it also has some suspense in the last few levels of the game and the best thing about this game is that even on the first level as soon as the cut scene ends you find yourself shooting your way through Mr. White’s thugs at his home. To be honest if activision do decide to come out with another game which has been rumoured then I would love to see them top what they have done with quantum of solace in the single player campaign!
Gameplay (online multiplayer)
To be honest, I don’t think that the multiplayer lived up to the standard of the single player. The reason I say this is because after playing loads of multiplayer I didn’t find it as exciting as playing call of duty multiplayer because in the James Bond online you don’t really get a lot out of winning matches or getting so many kills whereas in call of duty you can get to different levels, unlock perks and there is a much wider range of attachments and weapons than there is in quantum of solace. However, if they do bring out this new game and improve the multiplayer then I will happily stand corrected.
Weaponry
Again, the weaponry selections are very small compared to call of duty and seeing as activision “helped” infinity ward with call of duty I am very surprised that they have very little weapons in the game! But, the weapons they have chosen are very powerful weapons for Bond and I like the fact than unlike call of duty they have not put all of their work into deciding what weapons to use because they have added takedowns into quantum of solace as well which are very useful when you don’t want to be seen.
Graphics
In this game the graphics are astonishing! Like I said in the Half blood prince review the characters look really life-like especially the main character James Bond. I think that activision are one of the best developers when It comes to games because they pay attention to every last detail!
Final opinion
In conclusion, I think this game is the best James bond game ever made! My rating is 10/10!

Harry potter and the half blood prince review
Harry potter and the half blood prince is the sixth Harry Potter game and is probably the best one that I have played so far, the reason I say this is because I have not yet played the deathly hallows part one.
Gameplay
The gameplay improves with every game but in this game it is as fluent as ever. Also, the storyline is really interesting and it definitely kept me playing until the very end unlike order of the phoenix. However, when you complete the half blood prince you end up back in Hogwarts and there is no other missions to complete all you can do is collect Hogwarts crests and duel at the duelling club, even though collecting crests can get you achievements and trophies it does get kind of boring after doing it for a long time and it can sometimes be frustrating when you can’t reach a certain crest because it is too high.
Missions
As I said in the last paragraph the missions are very enjoyable and kept me going until the end but some of the missions are completely random for example when you have to go and make a potion for Ginny and when you end up fighting one of Malfoy’s henchmen whilst on your way to quidditch practice with Katie Bell. That is the only downside to this game which is much better than harry potter five because there was loads of downsides to that.

Achievements and trophies
The achievements and trophies in this game are not very story focused, most of them are to do with the Hogwarts crests and the badges that you can get such as the duelling club beginner badge and the potion master badge so I was not as focused on getting the trophies in this game as I am in the other games I play.
Graphics
The graphics in this game are amazing and if I had to rate this game of graphics alone then I would give it 10/10. The characters are so life like and it is obvious that the developers payed close attention to the details in the film concerning the characters facial and body features for example the black mark on Dumbledore’s finger from the horchrux ring is exactly like it is in the film Harry’s scar is also exact!
Final opinion
In conclusion, I would rate this game 8/10 because it is an excellent game and it has very little faults.

YouTube channel
Hi guys,
I now have a you tube channel it is www.youtube.com/garysgamerblog at the moment there is no proper videos up there because I only set lit up yesterday but I am trying to find my webcam so that I can do a video review on call of duty modern warfare and lots of other videos if there is a certain game review you would like to see just post it into the YouTube moderator. I cannot review 18 rated games because I am not 18 so I can’t play 18 games but any other games I can do.
