Modern Warfare 2 generated $550 million during its first five days on the market, a figure that sets a new entertainment record for the period.

Yep definitely a crappy game, of course I knew that the moment I saw a commercial for it but eh.

I wonder what the development costs where.

Why do you think it is a crappy game?

I don't know a lot about that game.

The first one (CoD 4) is supposed to be really good. Maybe I check out this one, too - a friend of mine got it a few days ago.

I prefer indie games. Like Dwarf Fortress.

Every mainstream game I've tried has been crap, they don't put their heart and soul into the game and do it only for the money.

hmm... Looks like just anouther crap game that was made for mainstream console gamers who only care if something goes BOOM, and has lots of curseing...

just goes to show people will buy anything...
