The first Dead Space. At first I thought it was just going to be BLARGH ALIENS LEAPING AND JUMP SCARES AND FLICKERING LIGHTS.

And then there was the ultra-cool backstory with the factions, and the neat dismemberment > decapitation mechanic, and the extremely clever use of slow-time, and the 3D zero gravity jet pack boss battles... Holy shit was it ever cool.

Though while we're on the subject, yes I enjoyed the Blops campaign, but for me it was the original Modern Warfare. I'd written the whole series off as a brodude shoot franchise until I tried it. But the campaign was surprisingly solid, the characters were very likable, and the MP was ridiculously well-balanced, the controls the tightest of any console shooter I've ever played, the maps fantastically creative... I just... was like oh okay I see why this started a massive multi-billion dollar franchise.

CoD4 pretty much put rockets on the franchise. Up until then it was fairly obscure -- CoD2 was a 360 launch title but nobody really cared, and CoD3 was almost universally ignored and for good reason. Once Modern Warfare hit, though, man, it was like there was never a Halo.

Oh lawd I could never go back to Halo now. Cowwa Doody's got me bad. I get that a lot of people don't care for the type of thing it is, but if you do like that type of thing, it's peerless.

That said I wish I could smack some of my fellow CoD kiddies into playing something else sometimes. There are several people on my PSN friendlist that I literally never see playing a different game. They buy the yearly CoD and they play it for six hours a day, while I'm PMing them like MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY BORDERLANDS?????

I never get any takers. It's like the WoW of the pew pew genre.
