COD Black Ops Reviews: Graphics Criticized – Better on MW2?

We’ve checked out a few of the early reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops and we’ve noticed quite a few of them reserve a few lines to talk about the not so perfect graphics in the game. newest moncler 2010
This may not concern you in any way though, as Call of Duty has always been about the gameplay, but we were definitely interested when we read claims about the graphics being ‘better on Modern Warfare 2′.

Game-Pad has written a short piece on Black Ops and had this to say about the graphics featured in the game:

”Graphically MW2 is a superior game but the campaign of Black Ops is more intense and well told.”

Furthermore, we picked out a review from Dutch site PS3 Sense, who also had something to say about the graphics quality in Black Ops:

”In graphic terms, Black Ops is not much progress made on Modern Warfare 2, the graphics are generally equivalent in quality.”

Are they being a bit harsh on the game, or should we have expected better quality graphics this time around from Treyarch? Don’t forget that World at War wasnt exactly visually stunning either, and that game focused more on the gameplay aspect too. For those of you who are already playing the game, let us know your thoughts on the graphics.moncler jassen 2010

MTV EMA Purple Carpet
There were plenty of drool-worthy dresses on the purple carpet last night at the MTV European Music Awards, so I decided to compile a list of the best, worst, and in-between. Everyone from Miley Cyrus to Taylor Momsen showed up, and their styles couldn't be more different...Let me know if you agree with my choices in the comments!

Maybe I'm just on a Shakira-high, because not only was she my favorite performer, but she was also best-dressed. She wore a low-cut black and gold metallic mini with platform black pumps. It's not too risky, but she's gorgeous enough to turn simple into stunning. Rihanna's my pick for runner-up. Wearing a white Marchesa gown she was probably the most dressed up for the event, yet she honestly didn't look overdressed. Loved it!

BRT shootings case on hold

THE CASE of two men accused of several Rea Vaya bus rapid transit (BRT) shootings in Soweto was postponed in the Protea Magistrate's Court yesterday. Makhehla Sikhakhane and Msizani Mbatha were denied bail last month after the court ruled that the pair were a flight risk after it took police a year to arrest them. Sikhakhane and Mbatha were arrested in September at the Merafe hostel. They are charged with 50 counts of attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstance, two counts of arson, possession of firearm and ammunition, and four counts of malicious damage to property. They are scheduled to appear in the court again in December. - Bongekile Macupe moncler coats

COSATU has welcomed the decision by the UK auditing body, the Accountancy and Actuarial Discipline Board, to launch a new investigation into SA's arms deal.

Soldiers who protested 'cannot be fired'

THE MILITARY could not fire soldiers who took part in an illegal protest in Pretoria last year before giving them a fair hearing, the city's High Court heard yesterday. This was argued by lawyers for the SA National Defence Union in an application to have the soldiers' dismissal notices declared unconstitutional. About 1 200 soldiers in August last year were issued with notices, giving them 10 days to provide reasons why their services should not be terminated. The application continues. - Sapa
