Black Ops II is no better than MW3. I have tried to tell myself that MW3 was just total and utter crap and that Blops 2 is the CoD savior, but it just isn't true. They are both equal in the amount of crap they pile upon the player. The game is so frustrating that I cannot play it on Sunday because of how often I take the Lord's name in vain. I figure that's more weekday talk.

Black Ops II (2) was pretty much like all the previous Call of Duty launches after stealing the thunder from the Halo crowd; mid-night launch, lots of "leaked" footage, and claims of "biggest pre-order in history" hoopla. And during the launch week, the non-disclosure agreements end and we get flooded with reviews, mostly based on a few hours of gameplay. Weak Sauce. Here is your free, several hours logged review from LP.

Reposted by Conan for new LP member Nevadarain:
So I downloaded the demo when it became available, but only got around to trying it out last night.
As a qualifier, I played through the mission on the easiest difficulty to get a feel for the game itself, then started it again on the highest to see how different it was. That being said, here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

Last year we offered our first prediction ever, and from a non-investigative stance, it looks like we were over 50% correct. In about a week we'll review it and post the results for your scrutiny. But today, after a few email exchanges, we're ready to put our predictions online for anyone to criticize. Read on after the break.

We are edging close to a month since the highly vaulted MW3 has launched. At minimum, LP staff have collectively put in over a full week of gameplay for MP, although so far as I know, I am the sole player that has beaten the game. So, we figure we have enough data to do a decent review. And speaking for myself, I don't plan to go soft on this review.

Yes, yes, we did a beta review of BF3 and we were negative about it. And frankly, the beta deserved it. However, 4 of our LP members have since bought the game, and we have an updated review for your reading pleasure. These reviews are plucked from our emails and posted here. They are frank and mostly unedited (some personal info removed). So...

We weren't going to do a review, honestly. We played the "true beta" game and figured it just wasn't our cup of tea. No reason to lambast something we weren't going to endorse at launch. But news is surfacing that EA is censoring reviews, so we'll add our two cents now.

Whether you are looking for an amazing hunter's tool for deer and elk season this year or you just want to climb a tower and practice aiming (he-he, joke... just a joke), I have found the product for you! I just recently purchased the Nikon Monarch Gold 1200 yard Rangefinder and I have nothing but positive things to say about it.

Since we are easily amused by conspiracy theory, LP felt it was time to address one that has been getting a little more screen time these days: the impending Chinese attack on US soil via bases in Northern Mexico. Let's look at what we can establish.

And yet another nice video montage from Buster regarding our flawless CTF game in Black Ops. Who knew that my best acting would come from a playable character in a video game? I smell an Oscar in the wind!
Written by Conan
Another Montage! Now, the point of these is to prove a little geekiness (which doesn't sound good) but also, the budding capabilities of LP staff. One day, we'll make a movie, but until then, enjoy what is presented.

Might as well throw our hat into the fray for predictions. And by "our" I mean predominantly "me" since I think all the other LP staff died from congenital STD's... or maybe that's a prediction too? More after the break!
