2009-11-14T23:30:19Z 102041 0 Yeah the singleplayer was like a movie, lots of action but too short and too many scripted events and no freedom. The game runs great with max detail on my 2 year old pc but the graphics are only a little improved compared to CoD4. And some parts were just ugly. The skyboxes in the open levels had far too less detail, which really breaks the immersion for me. And those ice shelves in the oil rig level. They looked like they were made of cardboard. The singleplayer was still fun to play but I can't image why this would be game of the year. CoD4 had the same flaws in the singleplayer too, but it was worth its money because of the multiplayer. But not this time. No dedicated servers, server browser, console commands, custom maps and mods. It seems like IW wanted to remove everything that makes PC gaming superior to console gaming. 26023738 2007-06-11T07:28:37Z 33353 2011-10-01T21:20:16Z Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 850 2009-12-06T11:34:23Z http://www.modernwarfare2.com http://wakoopa.com/software/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/169/336/normal.jpg?1259264837 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/169/336/thumb.jpg?1259264837 22740 Infinity Ward, Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/infinity-ward-inc 41 Action http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/action win Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (previously marketed as simply Modern Warfare 2) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Heck no! 2 Games http://wakoopa.com/categories/games win Dungeon Keeper 2 is an IBM PC strategy game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1999 for Microsoft Windows. It was released in Europe and North America in June 1999. It was the sequel to Peter Molyneux's Dungeon Keeper and predecessor to the cancelled Dungeon Keeper 3. Molyneux did not have an active role in the creation of the Dungeon Keeper 2, though many of his ideas lived on from the previous game. Like its predecessor, players take the role of a dungeon keeper, building and defending an underground dungeon from the would-be heroes that invade it, as well as from other keepers. In the game's campaign mode, the player is charged with recovering the portal gems from each area in order to open a portal to the surface. This was charged as a setup for the sequel, where the gems would be used to invade the surface world and defeat the faction of goodly heroes. The most immediate change from Dungeon Keeper is in its graphics; the world is now fully 3D. Where monsters were previously sprites, they are now 3D models. Several rooms, spells, and monsters were changed, added or removed, as were many game mechanics. For example, if a creature is dropped into the middle of a melee, it is stunned and vulnerable for a few seconds before getting up to fight. One major feature of the game is its "My Pet Dungeon" mode, which features sandbox-style play where players have a nearly unlimited amount of time to construct a dungeon uninterrupted. Heroes would only invade the dungeon if the player chooses to allow it. 2007-12-02T13:08:06Z 5381 4 Really a fun game. I just love the design and animation of the animals. Only flaws are some graphic glitches and the mouse/keyboard controls could have done better. 424308 2007-11-11T02:10:18Z 77823 2009-10-25T21:41:04Z Viva Piñata 35 2009-04-01T11:11:11Z http://www.vivapinata.com/ http://wakoopa.com/software/viva-piata http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/009/287/normal.jpg?1238584269 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/009/287/thumb.jpg?1238584269 25105 Climax Group http://wakoopa.com/developers/climax-group 48 Simulations http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/simulations win Viva Piñata is a life simulation game.

Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include Adblock Plus, Video DownloadHelper, NoScript, Personas, FlashGot, and Greasemonkey, along with many others. Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows (version 3.5 supports Windows Vista and XP; although not officially supported as of November 2009, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7), Mac OS X (10.4 or later officially supported), most Linux distributions, and many other Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release branch is version 3.5, first released on June 30th, 2009. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL. 2007-06-01T01:56:14Z 1621 0 Azureus is a very good client. I used it for years. The only weak point is the CPU and RAM usage. I'd like to seed torrents and play games (offline of course) at the same time. But I get very low framerates and Azureus' uploading speed is very unstable. It goes from 80 kb/s to 0 and back and repeats that every few secs. I'm using utorrent now, I'm using some of Azureus advanced functions but I never regretted switching. But if you have a very powerful PC or you don't want to play games at the same time, Azureus is the way to go I guess :) 58618634 2007-04-26T13:58:11Z 344 2145-10-13T21:33:12Z Vuze 6419 2009-12-03T19:52:16Z http://www.vuze.com http://wakoopa.com/software/vuze http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/124/normal.png?1239130958 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/017/124/thumb.png?1239130958 22644 Vuze, Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/vuze-inc Sharing data with others 10 File sharing http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/file-sharing mac win web linux Vuze (formerly Azureus Vuze) implements the BitTorrent protocol using java language and comes bundled with many invaluable features for both beginners and advanced users.
