Kratos is angry
Belmonts fight vampires

Headshots equal dead for zombies

"A is to jump"
Not entirely true, one of my first video games ever was Bomberman Pocket for the GameBoy, a standard side-scroller except A was place bomb and B was jump. Otherwise I completely agree.

These games will feature updated rosters, possibly slightly upgraded graphics, generally a new play mechanic or two. The games will not be worth 60 dollars each new. The previous model year's value will drop to almost nothing.

Don't forget a new COD game will be released every year.

-People will always find something to complain about, so you're better off playing the game yourself then trusting reviews.

Too true! When it comes down to it, the only person whose opinions matter about the game is your own.
