TeamXbox's Holiday Gift Guide

TeamXbox writes:

"To say that 2007 has been a banner year for gaming would be a HUGE understatement. This year may very well go down as the greatest in the relatively short history of video games, and likely won't be matched any time soon. It's been a particularly great year to be an Xbox 360 owner, as Microsoft's console has, in many ways, become synonymous with video games in the United States. As one of my fellow editors mentioned to me, you know your console is doing well when it's being mentioned in sitcoms and movies and other forms of pop culture. It seemed to work out well for the PlayStation name in the 1990s, didn't it?"

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
