So I just finished Modern Warfare 2 last night, and I was totally blown away by everything – the gameplay, the action, the story and the music. Kudos to Infinity Ward. Man, they really know how to make an epic experience. Modern Warfare 2 for action game of the year – believe the hype!

After a long time of dilly-dallying about, I finally managed to nail down some time to finish this blog’s layout as I promised myself I would.
