Call of Duty - Ghosts
Today Call of Duty announced it's yearly title "Call of Duty: Ghosts". This will mark the tenth installment in the Call of Duty franchise which has experienced record setting success year after year. Some people think the series is on the decline as the game has changed little over the years and uses the same basic multiplayer formula. Will this year be different? The teaser trailer seems to take the direction of a more secretive force, almost a Black Ops direction maybe more stealthy. Or maybe they will continue with the formula that has worked so well for them. We will only know closer to the release, so for now enjoy the trailer.

Setting Personal Goals
I'm back after a extended break which consisted of finals and the Christmas Holiday. I enjoyed some extra hours of gaming as I'm sure many of your guys and girls did as well. I hope everyone got the games they asked for. I picked up Far Cry 3 and have been playing that since boxing day.
Over the holidays before Christmas I picked up NHL 13 again and started focusing on playing versus, which is one on one. My record was around .500 and I knew I could be better then that. In NHL 13 you receive points for a win and lose them for a lose. These points determine your level and your opponent when playing versus. When I started playing I was around level 20 (nothing to brag about) so I started setting small little goals for myself like getting to level 25, 30, and so on. I began to enjoy the game more and more. I started playing better, finding teams I payed better with and so on. I started winning more and facing harder more challenging players. Games have become super close and intense often going to over time. I currently have my level up to 40+ and my record is above .500.
I found that setting a personal goal and not a predetermined one ( placed in the game) has made my playing experience more enjoyable overall. I wasn't only competing with others, but myself as well. Trying to improve my skill as a player.
This is applicable for any game I feel, and if your in a rut or not enjoying your favourite game set a small challenge for yourself each round!
Happy New Years and Game On!
