My sister bought me Call of Duty: World at War for Christmas this year, and I just finished playing it all the way through consecutively on two different skill levels.  For the record, this is one of the greatest games I have ever played on any format, any platform, and any subject.  The movements are beautiful, the weapon choices are vast, and the overall flow of the game is a lot of fun – enough to keep you occupied for several hours at a time.

This last weekend, as an example, I played it for eight solid hours on a Saturday.

Here’s some video of the game – even the video breaks are good!  It’s also pretty sweet to be in the “heat of battle” with Kiefer Sutherland yelling orders to you!

I just discovered a great post at Hacked Gadgets Forum that shows the old Labrynth game, but hacked to be controlled by a Wii Balance Board.  COOL!

Check out the video:

My heart actually sank for a minute for this guy!

I discovered something today that really sucks.  Some people are hacking Mario Kart online and are doing their best to ruin the fun for other people.

This morning I was playing a few rounds of Mario Kart online when I was put into a race with a few people who for some reason had the uncanny ability to have an endless supply of Bob-Ombs, and would target and chase other players around the course bombing the crap out of us.  One race, for example, I got about halfway through the second lap (on Moo Moo Meadows, which is a pretty short course, if that tells you anything) before the race ended.  These folks just followed a few of us around spitting out a constant supply of bombs.  The next round, one of these fools had a constant supply of the blue flying turtle shells that pretty much bring the game to a standstill, and I got through half of the first round of Coconut Mall before the race ended.

As far as I know, there are no online cheats or hacks in Mario Kart, so this really sucks.  It makes playing online pretty unfun, especially if you had a ton of VR racked up and just lost 500 of it due to these cheaters.

Nintendo, if you know about this, please make it stop.  If you are reading and have ever run into this problem, leave a note in the comments so we can put a stop to this.  If you’re one of these cheaters, what exactly is the fun in ruining the game for everyone?
