Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review

Modern Warfare 3 has completely changed the expectations bar for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series for the better. It has most improved in the Special Ops game mode, in which there is now Survivor Mode, in which the player has to fight off an unlimited number of enemy waves. Special Ops also now has the option to play online with friends and other people in either the Xbox Network or the PlayStation Network depending on the game console the player owns, or also over a regular internet network if the game is played on a computer. The multiplayer section has a few new "perks" for the player, but the main improvement is the new "killstreak" rewards and the ability to play split-screen while playing online multiplayer. 
The game has managed to make more money in the first five days after its release than any other piece of entertainment in the history of the world, grossing $775 million, nearly four times the gross of the top five-day earner in the film industry, The Dark Knight, which managed a gross of $204 Million in its opening five days.
I own the three Modern Warfare Games and I definitely feel that this one has exceeded the standard of the two other games in all the ways, apart from the campaign mode in the first Modern Warfare which is the best of all three.

House: 8th Season Review

The 8th season of House, M.D. premiered October 3rd on Fox. Up to now it has released eight excellent episodes of which I have watched all. The TV show is about Gregory House's medical feats at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. House is the boss of a team of diagnosticians, which by episode eight are; Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), Dr. Jessica Adams (Odette Annable), Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) and Dr. Chi Park (Charlyne Yi). The season starts with Dr. House in prison after he was jailed for having crashed a car into a house. The next episode House is released after Eric Foreman, the dean of medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, demands for House to be released as he is needed for a medical case. At first, when House relocates back to his hospital he finds that his office has been taken and that he now only has one doctor working for him, Dr. Park. After a few episodes House manages to fund his workplace and he recruits the other doctors. The TV show is considered a Medical drama as it also has a interlined story of the relationships between the main characters of the show. House's best friend is called Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) which is an oncologist at the hospital. I think the new season has accomplished the expectations I have on how House M.D. should be.
