I wrote a thing on my semi-successful blog about Black Ops reviews
http://blogossus.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/no-one-likes-story-driven-games/
CONTAINS SWEARING. I USED SWEARING BECAUSE IT'S COOL AND HIP, YO.
Would appreciate it if you all read it, even if you don't agree. I would rather you be aware of what Black Ops does to you.
BTW It's not that I hate the story, it's actually quite amazing, but I loathe the way it's told and the potential for effectiveness is just subdued under a layer of non-interactivity.
tl;dr - Black Ops has bad storytelling, no point in being a video-game, reviewers hailing it as the next big thing. Wobble wobble, Obi Wan Kenobi (you) are my only hope (of being made aware).
