Addicted to bloodlust

It all started when I had a dose of EA's "Medal of Honor". I never was a fan of first-person shooter games (FPS). Always wondered why and how can gamers find so much entertainment from these games. I, however, am enlightened now. Recently, I am hooked onto "Call of Duty".



The adrenaline-pumping action and fast pace of the game set my pulse racing. The beauty of this game lies in the need to work as a team-player. Unlike other FPS games where the player single-handedly completes mission after mission, and eventually bringing down the enemy juggernaut, "Call of Duty" requires the player to fight in a squad. You have to provide covering fire for your fellow soldiers and they in turn do the same for you. I guess this makes the game more realistic.

Particularly enjoyed the part where I have to charge at German MG fire to retake the Red Square in Stalingrad. It was very much similar to the part in the movie Enemy at the Gates. Was fantasizing myself as the legendary sniper Vassily Zaitsev as I picked my way through the rubble to spot and shoot German snipers. I just enjoyed slaughtering the enemies. Work-related stress, I guess. This game acts as a perfect pressure vent for me.

Cannot wait to get my hands on "Call of Duty 2". Looking forward to more butchering.
