Review this game
Nov 23, 2014This game is one of my favorite Call of Duty's. We have the story of a Marine named Miller and a Russian Sniper Dimitri Petrenko, inspired by the film 'Enemy at the Gates'. This game introduced one of Call of Duty's best characters, Viktor Reznov, who is a bad ass.
This game makes 9 because of cooperative campaign, not only we can replay missions, but we can replay them with our friends. Nazi Zombies is also an awesome feature and generally the storyline itself is quite historically accurate.
The real reason I love this game is the music. The music matches this game perfectly. And the intro to each mission has a cool commentary. Everything about this game is awesome.

Oct 19, 2014This is easily my favorite COD game, the story is just amazing. a great WWII shooter. the multiplayer needed work but it was fun nonetheless. The characters were unique and interesting. Just an example of a good game.
Sep 6, 2014This game was a good game, but it was left by the way side. Certain parts of the multiplayer need a lot more balancing, the SMG's are the go to weapon to almost everyone as they are horribly overpowered. But right now before you even need to worry about the weapon balance you need to hope that the lobby that you are in isn't hacked. As I would say a quarter of the players in this game use hacks. These include; god mode, no clip aim bots and a variety of other things that make the multiplayer ruined. So then you'll need the single player to keep you going, and I am glad to say that the single player is better than both other treyarch call of dutys. It is diverse and with compelling movie inspired parts and very strong characters. Now, the zombies. In my opinion zombies was best in world at war as it was the most casual experience, and it taught its players slowly about how to play as it gets gradually more complicated as you go from map to map. But nothing was overwhelming, because if you played all the maps chronologically, when you got to der reise you would know the basics and how things worked. But zombies is still best played with friends as solo you can easily lose interest past round 25 and if you try the matchmaking hackers can hack your multiplayer and make you max rank and mess up all your stats… Expand
Aug 28, 2014By far the most moving and well designed military game I've ever played, this is my favourite Call of Duty in the series. It actually has a really good story, with fantastic voice acting from everyone. The shooting itself is as immersive as it is realistic, and I think it's one of one of the most enjoyable shooters ever. The campaign is bucket loads of fun, if not a bit short. The 'Zombies' mode is the best horde mode I've played, and the multiplayer is FANTASTIC; I've never had so much fun online! If only the newer CoD games could return to the form of the war games, which I enjoy more.… Expand
Jul 14, 2014This is one of the best call of duty games that not only tries to focus on making the campaign really great but also by making the multiplayer really great. Zombies is a great addition for multiplayer and campaign can get a bit boring after awhile. The story is the best I have seen in a world war 2 game and the graphics are great.
May 29, 2014Graphics: 9.0 Sound: 9.0 Gameplay: 9.0 Fun/Story: 7.8
A consistent and solid FPS. Great graphics and maps design. Perhaps it should be more polished to get higher score.
Feb 8, 2014I don't think Activision have every had a History lesson at school in their lives. This game is unbelievably inaccurate (even though it is set in a real event) and the characters are so unloveable. They could all die in warfare and I would be happy, as the game would be over. Every gun feels the same. I don't know if it's my copy of the game, but it has no save feature. WHY DO THEY EXPECT ME TO WANT TO COMPLETE THIS WHOLE **** GAME IN ONE SITTING. It would be ok if the game was any good, but it isn't. Zombies is unlockable, which again isn't a big problem, but in this case it is because, again, THERES NO SAVE FEATURE!… Expand
Jan 19, 2014I didn't play this game very long, I shot one guy in the head then my screen was cluttered with a notice telling me what I had just done with points underneath, I don't want my immersion taken away by on screen numberwang. This game took a tired concept and made it worse with no efforts to do anything good with the franchise. This game was truly the final nail in the COD coffin.
Dec 31, 2013At first I was confused as to why they returned to WWII in the Call of Duty series, but it's not a bad thing at all that they did. World at War is probably, in my opinion, the 2nd best or possibly best of the series. It remained basically the same in multiplayer, adding a few new things, but it's still very fun. The single player is pretty good, but I think the game really shines with the brand new Co-op campaign, with a scoring system, and the Nazi Zombies. I loved playing through the campaign with friends, and I loved zombies. Zombies was obviously great because of its originality and also because it's still around in the series in the new games, or at least versions of it are.
World at War gets an 8.8/10… Expand
Dec 29, 2013This game is fantastic. It is by far the best Call of Duty game. The multiplayer is as balanced and fair as any other CoD game, besides MW2 (MW2 didn't have balanced Multiplayer). The campaign is a very detailed and gritty representation of the actual events of world war 2. Another great part of the campaign is the expendable friendly A.I, as any generic Private Joe Average can be gunned down by the ever-adapting enemy without a second thought. This makes tactical gameplay a necessity. Overall, this is one of the best shooters on any console, and any negative assessment of the game doesn't do it nearly enough justice.… Expand
Dec 7, 2013Campaign is really good. I love playin Coop. I love this game. This game, Modernwarfare2 and Modernwarfare are the only ones that I've played that aren't copy cats.
Nov 19, 2013Single Player/Multi Player (2/2) (If the single player is better than the multiplayer, review this section as if it had no multplayer) (If the multiplayer is better than the multiplayer, review this section as if it had no single player) Gameplay (1/2) Visuals/Story (1/2) (If the visuals are better than the story, review this section as if it had no story) (If the story is better than the visuals, review this section as if the visuals didn't matter)

This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a "feel" for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.
The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no "half" or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.
The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.
Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a "feature quota". Games that excel in both areas of a section don't receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section
The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the "wildcard" section. This section is for how the reviewer "feels" about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.… Expand
Nov 18, 2013The pinnacle of the Call of Duty franchise. It all went downhill from there. Honestly, I enjoyed the crap out of this game and still do now 5 years later. It makes me feel old.
Jul 1, 2013While WW2 games are a dime a dozen on the original Xbox and Xbox 360, this game is really good. The single player game is fairly long and you play as several different soldiers in different armies. The multiplayer was really good. Maps are small, but fun. Zombies is one of the best features of this game. I actually prefer this zombies mode to the later versions because it is simpler and easier to play. The later zombie modes in Black Ops 1 and 2 become overly complex and too gimmicky with all the different power ups.… Expand
Jun 25, 2013The game may tread too deep into some decidedly grim territory at times, but "Call Of Duty: World At War" still makes for an impactful WWII shooter with some awesome gameplay additions to the franchise.
Jun 16, 2013Just picked this up again after years of modern shooters. I forgot how much I enjoyed the WW2 setting and guns. Even after all this time, it is still an amazing shooter. And who don't love popping Nazi zombie heads.
Jun 2, 2013I give this a 10 because to me, it's right under CoD 4. It went back to the roots of where Call of Duty started. WWII. To me, the campaign was not boring it was action packed and a lot of fun because at the end you unlocked the zombies. Now to the zombies. First map was fun for what it was. 2nd map I didn't like because I was bad at it. 3rd map loved the swam because there was what? 4 paths to choose, and finally we Der Riese. The best zombies map until this very day. That's what draw us towards the characters you saw in Black Ops as well. I know we saw them in Shi no numa, but I think they had better lines in Der Riese. I'm sure all of us had a favorite. My was Nikolai and the doctor. Der Riese introduced the monkey bombs and the pack-a-punch. You had to connect the teleporters to the main frame to get it. I just love this game. A lot of people don't like this game or the multiplayer. The multiplayer of course was awesome to me. The maps were fine as is. Some of the dlc maps were a little too much or too little, but the gameplay made up for it. I really enjoyed this game and I still play it till this day even though it's hacked and stuff, but when you get into a "good" lobby, it's a lot of fun.… Expand
May 28, 2013I like the veteran playthrough, like it. haven't play co-op, zombie, and multiplayer that much. the 7 is mainly for the satisfaction after finishing the game on veteran.
May 26, 2013Treyarch might be one of my favorite game company for this. This is the most bloody, exciting, and explosive Call of Duty since Finest Hour and Medal of Honor! Its just to bad this is the last WWII CoD in the franchise.
May 12, 2013The Campaign on this game is EPIC!!! If you are looking for a cheap game, with a great campaign pick this! It is also great playing a game about the Eastern front during WW2 (Which is normally ignored in the West). Anyone who knows History knows that the Eastern front dwarfs the Allied operations in Europe. You get to play in STALINGRAD! Many parts of the game seem based on the Movie 'Enemy at the Gates' which is great, but if you also read Anthony Beevor's 'Stalingrad' book then play this you will be immersed in the game on a whole new level.
Unfortunately the Multiplayer has been destroyed by idiots who hack and cheat, I don't know why they do it esp on a game of this age (Not like it is MLG wannabe's?) I do not know, but they have ruined the online play.
Still co op campaign though which actually increases the difficulty to account for the extra human player!
Very challenging to beat it on Veteran, but a great feeling when you do.
The last CoD that was any decent.
7/10 would recommend you spend £10-15 no more for this!… Expand
Apr 28, 2013Wow...this game is brutal. It literally opens with a guy getting a cigarette rammed in his eye then having his throat slit spraying blood everywhere.
I think that this game gets dark and gritty much better than the more recent Cod games (Which is ironic considering who makes them). Whilst the two campaigns (Russian and American) aren't that long they are still enjoyable. Also most of the performances are really good most of the time.
The multiplayer is enjoyable but hackers run rampant so that sucks.
Also this game introduces Zombies which I'm glad for because it is brilliant.
So yes I definitely recommend this game.… Expand
Mar 17, 2013I adore this game because it introduced zombies in which Created the COD series even futher, but really Blops 1 and 2 where mistakes. Amazing game and always will be, and always will be Mw3, Blops 1 and 2.
Mar 16, 2013Call of Duty World at War is probably my favorite in the Call of Duty series (tied with Call of Duty 2) as I prefer the WW2 setting to the other settings the games have taken place in, World at War features a decent campaign which will last about 4-6 hours, but the real meat of the game comes from it's multiplayer which can give a lot of fun and replay value, It has some balancing issues and some of the maps are too big leading to times when you can't find enemies but overall these issues are not as bad of issues as some of the more recent Call of Duty games have had, I'm not sure if people still play World at War online anymore but if they do then I consider this one of the better Call of Duty games, more recent games have lost there appeal due to the annual releases in my opinion, But this was one of the last call of duty games I played and it's a good game, with solid single player campaign, fun multiplayer and the awesome co-op zombies survival mode, Whether you play alone or with a group of friends, this game can give you hours and hours of fun.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013On a technical level World at War is arguably the least accomplished of the Call of Duty titles and yet another return to World War II setting certainly meant the single player campaign could be a bit of a chore to play through. Since the now overused online multiplayer formula was still fairly fresh at the time however it was still very easy to lose days, even weeks, competing on Xbox live. As a result World at War was still a worthy purchase at the time even if it has now been truly overshadowed by better entries in the series.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012My favourite Call of Duty game. The simplicity of CoD4 plus the awesome maps and WW2 atmosphere makes for a very, very fun MP game. It may not be addictive as, say, MW2, but the fun factor more than makes up for that.
Nov 28, 2012This game has some good ideas such as zombies which makes ppl get hard but some of the maps are kinda gay and the tanks are overpowered . The dogs get kind of annoying and sniping doesnt exist in this game
Nov 23, 2012World at War is definitely my favorite Call of Duty game. The multiplayer maps are varied and unique, and the same can be said for the guns. While the MP40 holds an advantage over the other guns because it is the easiest to use effectively, a skilled player can do well using almost any weapon they like. World at War is currently the only Call of Duty game with a co-op campaign, which makes the already exciting missions even more enjoyable if you play them with a friend. Zombies is also fun, although it is a little simpler in World at War than in Black Ops. If you like Call of Duty but feel like the recent installments have grown stale, try World at War. It's the most unique, and also one of the very best (if not THE best).… Expand
Nov 4, 2012Second best Cod game ever(slightley beaten by cod 4 mw1) Campaigns great, mulitplayers epic and zombie is awesome. Cods suck now a days but the good ones will never be forgotten. Call of Duty: World at War 9.3/10
Aug 8, 2012This was my first call of duty game, and I definitely enjoyed it, the maps were great, the connection wasn't too bad, and the general feel of it was good, and made the game very enjoyable, the game was later ruined by hackers however, and I blame Treyarch for not fixing these errors as multiplayer lobbies are still full of hackers who cannot die. The singleplayer wasn't too bad either, you took your place in the war, but that's all it felt like really, you were just a soldier, no real significance.… Expand
Jul 21, 2012I thought this game was great! It was my first CoD so i may be a bit biased but people need to stop comparing CoD 4 to every other Cod game. Cod 4 was great during its time period but other games have moved on and stepped up so we can't judge the next versions by it.
Besides all that i commend Treyarch for going back to WW2 as many FPS these days tend to stray away from that area. I felt that Zombies was a brilliant feature and one which has gone on to become on the most popular features of CoD. Of course the game wasn't perfect and there were some glitches and perhaps some gun and perk balancing issues (MP40, Juggernaut) but on the whole it's a fun game to play. And if you can find an un-modded lobby you should have some fun in the tanks and just playing in general.… Expand
Jul 18, 2012The story of this game just doesn't particularly stand out from any other FPS game, and the multiplayer doesn't live up to what was left by Infinity Ward in Modern Warfare. However, despite being an average game in the previous respects, the innovative zombies mode and the way it is incorporated into the game make this a stand out title among others.
Jul 15, 2012Great Game like Black Ops but better. this game is a must have. It even has Zombie mode. And Multiplayer with Xbox Live. The price is even really great for the game.
May 26, 2012Call of Duty World at War is my second favorite FPS of all time. In first place? Call of Duty 3. Lately, most of the CoD games that have come out have been absolutely terrible. It seems that the series died with the horrible Modern Warfare 2, arguably the worst FPS in the past ten years with only Modern Warfare 3 to compete with that title. World at War delivers an intense, realistic WWII campaign through the eyes of the brave yet insane Soviet Red Army and through the patriotic eyes of the US Marines. The multiplayer is balanced (all except for the MP40) and is now riddled with modders, yet it is still enjoyable. The zombies easter egg is also a fun bonus, and the game was all around a fun way to spend an hour or two at night.… Expand
Mar 31, 2012Takes the same great formula for gameplay from cod4, and uses the same great multiplayer. The campaign is also great following two fronts of the war that were not focused on by other ww2 games. It creates and gore filled horror of war that is not seen in any other cod, and creates a visual of a hellish experience. It took the modern eleiments from cod4 and put it into a ww2 game with little troubles. It is taking from another formula, but the formula is still almost perfect for this style of game so I don't criticize Treyarch much for this. A great experience all around… Expand
Mar 20, 2012By far my least favourite of the 'modern' call of duty series (post COD3, that is). I never felt the campaign really took off. The story was good, but it never met the expectations I had after COD4. The multiplayer was sub-par compare to modern warfare as well, leaving zombies as the only new and redeeming feature. This game laid the groundwork for what become Black Ops, but it never really satisfies on a game level. It's merely sandwiched between multiple great games on either side, and comes out average.… Expand
Feb 20, 2012And yet again we see another generic shooter. This, is actually the best CoD game out there. I enjoyed it... For a while. After finishing the campaign there was nothing more to do. Yeah, there is Nazi Zombies, but it's crap to play it alone. The online? Oh man, don't get me started at that BORE...
Feb 5, 2012fun, better zomibes than black ops but in 2011(not sure when you will be reading this) the hackers got a hold of it and 4/12 people are invinible, but the zombies is really great
Jan 15, 2012Excellent single player and the multiplayer WAS good in its time. No longer though. Every lobby has hackers running around with "god mode" enabled and Tryarch will not do anything about it.
Jan 3, 2012great game but the multiplayer is full of hackers and people flying around with unlimited health so dont get this game for the multipIayer. I cant describe the single player as i havent played it through. The best part of the game is the zombies,you play through waves defeating zombies that come through baricades,unfortunately if you want more zombie maps you have to buy them from the xbox live marketplace but overall great graphics and great gameplay! Used to be a great game before it got taken over by hackers, would be good if treyarch got rid of them.… Expand
Nov 15, 2011Let's get things straight. The multiplayer is an absolute JOKE. Dogs are overpowered, artillery is awful coz it shakes the screen so much. Not to mention some of the useless perks and guns. The campaign has a poor story, nothing links together and the levels aren't particularly well designed. Veteran difficulty is also a joke, due to the infinite grenade-spamming AI, but is do-able. Still, zombies is fun. It's not a "GOOD" game, it's just enjoyable if you can manage to not take it seriously. This game still puzzles me in a way. It seems like 3arc have put zero effort into the multiplayer, judging from the imbalanced perks (who uses flak jacket or shades when you can have juggernaut or stopping power?), some of the stupidly under-powered weapons, the worst hit detection ever and of course, the MP40 Juggernoobs. Small wonder how most people stay serious on Modern Warfare and come on this for a mess-around. The multiplayer is poorly designed not just in balancing but there's plenty of lag as well. Where this game shows its ingenuity is in the zombie maps. Even though the original was meant to be just a mini-game, it's turned into something bigger and inspired other game developers to think more carefully before discarding the idea of a horde/survival mode. I've played all the maps on PS3 and I can tell you, they are so well designed. The windows, doors, cost of buying... everything is so strategically done and it all makes sense. Shame about the campaign which feels soulless and the pathetic online which isn't even worth complaining about, but just to have a good laugh at.… Expand
Nov 10, 2011Terrible gameplay, terrible multiplayer, terrible interface. Nothing like Call of Duty 4. I shelved this game quickly and moved back to Call of Duty 4.
Nov 8, 2011"Call of Duty: World at War" has everything wrong. The textures are muddy and dirty as well as the sneaky, invincible AI. The story is good, but TOO linear. Especially after playing this game on Xbox for a brief period, I realized this game isn't for the Xbox; it's not meant to be. In my opinion the PC version was better with plenty of swag, so if you really want to play this piece of junk, at least buy it on PC or Playstation.… Expand

Sep 21, 2011By far one of my top favorite Call of Duty games, and the best World War 2 game I've played yet. The campaign is what did it for me, the fist five minutes of the game, I was in awe of the epic game play, and battlefield that I was playing in.
Aug 17, 2011Let's put it this way: i felt like crying when this game was killed by hackers. By far it was the best Call of Duty game, and you know what? Haters gawn' hate.
Jul 12, 2011To a lot of people this may not be the best Call of Duty, but to me it is definitely one of the best. The campaign is fun, especially playing co op mode with friends. The best thing about this game though is definitely the zombie mode. The maps are great, with an amazing layout. Definitely better than the black ops zombie mode. This is a game worth getting.
Apr 26, 2011Entertaining but perhaps not the best one in the series. The mechanic is equal to MW ,the campaign nice . The game gives the same feature that all the cod game has only in a ugly way that I dint expected weird not satisfying multiplayer . Also it includes the famous zombies that made treyarch famous and the only positive feature that i think that is great, also original. Such a let down for a great franchise.… Expand
Apr 24, 2011This game is fun; the campaign can be played with 3 other people with various 'death cards' enabled to make all the enemies zombies or give you temporary invincibility after getting 3 kills in short time, with competitive scoring to try and get the highest score by the end of each chapter. It makes the campaign far more interesting, but it isn't bad on its own. The zombies level is quite simple but brilliant, surviving infinite waves of increasingly hardy zombie foes in a spooky building; get enough points and you can advance to a new area and gain access to the mystery box and get a new weapon, which could be a sniper rifle or a heavy machine gun depending on your luck. You can buy decent weapons off the walls, but getting a good weapon from the box is essential to exceed round 15. The multiplayer is good old Call of Duty; although it's essentially a WW2 mod of COD4, with new killstreaks, guns and map but pretty much the same perks. With the DLC support, zombies is hard to fault. 3/5, very good.… Expand
Apr 20, 2011By far my favorite Call of Duty game. The maps are wonderfully set up, the variety of weapons is great and kill streaks are set at great increments. MW2 and BO get me extremely aggravated due to camping and not having near as good of maps. The story isn't anything fantastic, but no one gets these for the story. I get the new Call of Duty every year and World at War is the only one I end up keeping and going back to time and time again.… Expand
Apr 14, 2011This game for me,is easily the best in the series of Call of Duty.I've always rated Treyarch over the overated 'Inferior' Ward.Though Black Ops was a big dissappointment for me,World at War is Treyarch at their best.Great variety of locations in the campaign,& VERY glad to finally see Campaign Co-Op in a Call of Duty game! & not just 2 player,but 4 Players at that! Not to mention Zombie Mode.Its even my favourate multiplayer in all the CoD series,actually having vehicles.I know CoD 3 also had vehicles(another Treyarch CoD),but it so much better implemented in World at War,with having to wear down & destroy tanks armour for instance.What else can i say,but Great Game! More Campaign Co-Op in Call of Duty though please.after all,these are 'Squad' games,with storys of Comradary.In fact,if i'm to buy any more CoD games in future,that is the MINIMUM requirment,or No sale!… Expand
Feb 20, 2011I enjoyed the single player campaign even though it suffers from the usuall treyach taint, it was still an enjoyable romp. The hit register sucks a big fat one which is to be expected see developer. online was a pain with the indestructible tanks the the poor weapon balance and bad hit register. But zombies makes up for a lot of the mp faults. certainly worth a weekend hire but not a lot of replay value… Expand
Dec 20, 2010Call of Duty is going back to World War 2 with this game and it makes a memorable return, the campaign is short but tons of fun and challenging on the harder difficulties, the graphics are great and still impressive today, the controls haven't changed from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare because they don't need to, they are still one of the best controls out there, voice work is top notch, and multiplayer is just as good if not slightly better than Call of Duty 4, this one of the best games in the series and I would highly recomend it to any fan of the series… Expand
Nov 13, 2010Without a doubt, the worst Call of Duty game made to date. This is where things in the COD franchise started to collapse. COD games since WaW have been horrible such as Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops. While MW2 is not quite as horrible but still, same as Black Ops which is only a tab bit better than Waw. The Multiplayer is filled with campers. The multiplayer is also as unbalanced as you can expect from COD to date. The Campaign is as beyond retarded (which what you can except from Call of Duty). I've never played a game that's so bad, that I wanted to die. I'm dead serious.… Expand
Oct 29, 2010Treyarch are right on the money (if Activision aren't already on it anyway!) as this is a great installment to the CoD series and Treyarch can pat themselves on the back after a job very well done...The campaign portrays war in its true state: desperate, scary and gruesome and this is such a great part and experience and we really hope we can expect more campaigns of this nature in future games by Treyarch such as this year's Black Ops... The online has picked up on the CoD series' weaknesses. Small maps and no vehicles in previous games could sometimes leave gamers wanting more! Never fear, maps like "Seelow" are large and tanks are bound to shake up the game a bit! Finally, zombies - A great part of the game and we really do look forward to seeing them return in Black Ops!… Expand
Sep 30, 2010This game is simply brilliant. The campaign is the best of the series, Modern Warfare included. Why? Because even though it's not it's own original story it tells the story of world war 2 brilliantly through great cutscenes and in game dialog. The characters are fleshed, and the voice acting and guns feel very authentic. Mission design is incredible, the Japanese missions are brilliant, with me feeling as if these people were really willing this much to die for their country. Gameplay is funner than MW and MW2, and Nazi Zombies is a fun way to kick back and reward you after beating the game. The final Russian missions are also brilliant.… Expand
Aug 23, 2010Modern warfare was a great game that left gamers wanting more... Unfortunately they did not get more with WAW, it was just a typical WW2 game with a crappy campaign with co-op. Multiplayer sucked where if you didn't buy the map packs it would kick you out of tons of games and the only good thing about the game was nazi zombies. I traded mine in 1 year ago. I give this fail game a 6.5
Aug 18, 2010This game is awesome in many ways. Yes, it may be away from the game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but this video game is one of the best WWII video games ever!!
Call of Duty: World At War needs better character development and more "oh my God" moments. However, it's still a terrific first-person shooter. The combat is tight, the presentation shines and the multiplayer, particularly Nazi Zombie mode and co-op campaign, will keep you blasting enemy soldiers for weeks.
Treyarch did a remarkable job of breathing new life into the WWII shooter. They followed the conventions outlined by Infinity Ward to a tee and, as a result, created a shooter that is every bit as good as last year's entry. Of course, there isn't a whole lot of innovation this time around, but the increased Multiplayer options, new settings, and great enemy A.I. should more than satisfy all but the most jaded Infinity Ward fanboys.
Although the campaign storyline isn't nearly as engaging as the one seen in "CoD4," there should be enough memorable set pieces and intense sequences to keep you riveted throughout. The addition of a co-op mode brings a great deal of replay value to the proceedings, especially once you start throwing the death cards into the mix. Ultimately, it's the multiplayer and co-op action that will keep us coming back for more.

I don't understand all the discussion about Incite vs War Academy. Because most prot warriors will never have to make a decision between those two.
If you want to go for HS increased threat you probably take 2/3 Incite with your first 5 points in prot. It's easy to use another point out of the 26 remaining points that you have to put into prot to get to 3/3.
You only can take War Academy with your last 5 points (speaking about a lvl80 build). So you have to compare it to everything else that you may chose with this points. You can use those 5 points to get your self-healing. Those are two of the few survivability talents we actually can take. So most (raiding) prot warriors don't want to use the points for anything else.
I doubt anybody out there would ever consider to spend 2/3 additional points into Incite if they did not take the talent with the first 31 prot-points. So basically you either have already Incite after spending 31points into prot or you will not spend any points to get it.
So Incite competes with Blood and Thunder or any utility talent out of prot, and War Academy with Cruelty, Field Dressing / Bloodcraze and Blitz.
As soon as you get more points to spend, it's more about if you want to reach anything in the second tiers of arms and fury. If you are interested in Piercing Howl or Rude Interruption you probably don't take War Academy. If you want to get Second Wind you have to make a decision between War Academy and Blitz.

Maya makes a big, big impression. Partly that is because she is tall at 182 cm (6 feet). Partly it is because of her fantastic range of talent.
Her star quality presence made her a favourite of the fashion houses of Europe. Paris, Milan and London competed for her to model their clothes. Now she brings her experience to nude modelling. Naturally she brings a cute ass and long legs as well.
She is fascinated by so many different aspects of this world. "Everything about it stimulates me" she says. "It is not only make-up and hair styling. It's much more. It has led me into photography and painting. Now I'm into making sculptures as well." These things are as important to her as her pet parrot that she lives with.
We told you this girl is something else.
|machado70 Belgium
one of the number one in hedgree I love this girl she has a wonderfull skin marvellous pussy and has it's great combination of sensation to see in the pictures nice choice!!!!
|Snowpig United States
Hairy women are so much more sexy than ones that look like little girls.
|Jacky Germany
Nice car... What is it? A Q7?
RE: Nice car... you're lookin at the CAR???!!!
|Jacky Germany
RE: RE: Nice car... I'm more into Brunettes, you know....Haha just kiddin'
|Rick United States
I think her frustrated look at the end says: I need a car with a bigger back seat!
|wheeler United States
nice day for a picnic!:P
|Fract Netherlands
Maya... Mmmm... Best breakfast in long time. Even though there is but one dish, it contains many ingredients and is served in a multitude of styles. I, for one, would love to dig in! Go Maya!
|Mark United States
Maya Great set! I would love to eat that pussy for breakfast!
|Dave Finland
Which Hole Breakfast part two is even better, which hole would you start on.
|joey-1 Canada
I would love to see more of Maya. It has been a long time ....
|Fract Netherlands
Yes! Smoking hot. You're totally original, girl. Choose your own ground. I love your style!
|wheeler United States
yet another "short but sweet". refreshing, though, after a disappointing "massage"!
|Fract Netherlands
I love the contrast of Maya's luscious, kissable lips, black stockings and pearlescent skin. On top of that, every pose is different and conveys a different emotion. What a wonderful model she is!
|Mark United States
Maya Maya is beautiful. What a wonderful porcelain-skinned body. She has a terrific ass as well. A lovely and elegant beauty.
|Farnorth Australia
Maya for bush How much more sexy she would be (to so many of us) if she had a shiny blonde bush, bring back pubic hair!
|wheeler United States
RE: Maya for bush and,tomany,not so much!although, I personally agree.
|Laurie United Kingdom
Underwhelmed These images have no aesthetic or erotic appeal and show a remarkable lack of imagination...
|kikki Australia
maya you are beautiful. thanks for this wunderful shoot, hope to see you in one of the massages soon..
|knoglergerd Austria
The water looks cold. She has goosebumps
|Fract Netherlands
Aesthetic appeal or not, every now and I just want to look at a beautiful naked girl. But granted: this set is a bit repetitive, whereas with Maya's other sets no photo is like another. Ah well, I suppose not every session can produce a winner, right?
|Sherlock United Kingdom
Also underwhelmed Sorry, I'm with Laurie, this set didn't bode well from it's ungainly title... often this website is the white heat heart of eroticism but sometimes it's dull sets like this that leave me absolutely cold...
|wheeler United States
well, it worked for me!naked wet maya is nice to come home to, after a pretty hellish night!but, maybe it would work betterin motion?:P
|intoit United States
Mailed this one in I agree with Laurie. Pretty boring.
|Fract Netherlands
Mmmore Mmmaya This girl just oozes hotness from her every pore. Her opalescent skin and sensual mouth beckon the viewer to come closer while her glance seems to suggest she *knows* what she wants out of life and love. And that cheeky smile! I have yet to see moving pictures of her, but judging by the rapid succession of different poses Petter shoots her in, I bet she just moves like the wind during shoots. Awesome set, and can hardly wait for part two.
|b-lover Belgium
hi ! amazing beauty, more of her please Peter, and thanks for your incredible work !!
|Phil United States
What is it about Maya that makes you think every shot should be white washed? A little color please!
|gr8b1r United States
Watching May in these photos make my mouth water...
|SageArcher United States
Act II...Por favor? Bravo! Maya's exquisite effort to divest herself of those evil pantyhose...is deserving of parole! Soon, one would hope? Free Maya!!!
|machado70 Belgium
beautifull but..... beautiful set but remove this evil panty please!
|machado70 Belgium
More pictures !!!! Peter more photos pictures and video of Maya please !!!!
|Dave Finland
Bent Over The last shots of her on the couch bent over showing off that sweet anus of her's are perfect, more please.
|Taoman Turkey
Movie If possible I like to see Maya movies.
|Fract Netherlands
Very nice! I like the way the checker-pattern reflects on Maya's opalescent skin. The pose make her appear a bit emaciated though. But it won't stop me from trying to steal a kiss from her ;)
|wheeler United States
Maya for breakfast...YUMMY!!! @ taoman...I'm sure they'll get to it...eventually
|Nav Czech Republic
Actually For me, Maya would be 'All you can eat' breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack.
|KOMET United States
MAYA AT HER BEST FULLY NUDE AND UNFETTERED BY CLOTHES & SHOES. This is how MAYA should be showcased. An ideal future photo series would featured MAYA fully nude AND oiled-down.
|Voyeur United States
Her wetness in the last few pictures makes one desire a breakfast snack directly from Maya
|Sandy United Kingdom
RE: Actually Absolutely, to gently part those exsquisite petals and savour the nectar within is good for any time!!
|Agent9 Sweden
RE: Photo number 47 So wet, ohhh
|wheeler United States
my only gripe about this is that it's WAY too short!!!maya is lovely!
|KOMET United States
MAYA IMPRISONED OFF WITH THE STOCKINGS AND SHOES! MAYA is shown to better effect when allowed to be FULLY NUDE.
|Laurie United Kingdom
Hot Legs The stockings enhance her sensuousness and add a delicious frisson. The light creative touch lift the images from ordinary to extraordinary. Stylish Maya in swanky mood...
|Thunderman United States
Amazing body and I love the color of her nipples! Great photo set Maya!
|Fract Germany
Every shot winner! While having *large* photo-shoots gives us, the viewer, the possibility to pick our own gems, this series shows that less *can* be more. Great set!
|70sGuy Nigeria
I never... tire of looking at her pale ass. Please do not expose it to direct sunlight!
|wheeler United States
a little sun never hurt anyone!lol super sexy!
|Laurie United Kingdom
Maya in Modest Mood The last 20 images catch my eye. Maya, in delightfully intimate detail, fills the canvas with her marblesque beauty.
|herveda France
ONe of the most beautiful model, so much feminity and beauty. One of my favorites
|wheeler United States
I think you're onto something, Petter! there should be more "fashion" like this! :P
|jee Norway
Very tasteful photoshoot! This is a stunning set! The combination of Maya's pale delicate porcelain skin, the muted background and the vivid dress make for an extremely captivating series. I lover her ass and pussy lips. They're so delicate and smooth. Well done, Petter. You did this model justice :)
|hhp United States
Maya Lovely model. The colors are fantastic. All nude all the time is boring.
|70sGuy Nigeria
Her... Ass is as white as pastry, and twice as sweet (I'll bet)!
|wheeler United States
RE: Maya agreed!
|Fract Netherlands
MmmmmmMaya Love this set! Very beautiful composition with the posing and the coloured fabric. Great emotional charge in her facial expressions, too. Bummer that high-key often seems out-of-focus to me... but that being said, I'd put a triptych out of this set on my wall!
|Jeff Bell United States
Is Maya Evi's little sister?
|Fract Netherlands
Goodness! Her opalescent skin and oh-so-yummie nips and lips serve nothing less than a stage for her eyes that seem to know all my secrets. Love the mood in this set: hot, luscious and still mysterious.
|Dave Finland
Panties Pic number 12, Great shot of one of the hottest girls on this site.
|wheeler United States
almost couldnt see her in front of the white background!lol nice set, though
|tooterooter United States
Love the... Shoes...and that pastry white ass.
|Simon Switzerland
White text on white backround is not my preferred reading style. At least we have a 'seen that, done that'. Us putting Maya in te car a bad idea?
|Kevin-1-2 United States
She's incredible! Though I'd like to see her in a more natural light, just seems too overexposed . . .
|Bruce United States
Maya high key White on white? I'm snow blind....!
|palonazo Spain
Why do you guys comment on the light? There's a reason why the shoot is called "High Key".
|Frank Germany
feet Fantastic close-ups of her bare soles ! I would love to see such shots of Silvie, who has the most beautiful feet !
|panzer969 United States
Spectacular!!! A truly amazing debut! Welcome, Maya! More! More! The beauty shots are just gorgeous. The details.... :)
|wheeler United States
nice new addition! cant wait to see more!
|Coreysurfer United States
beautiful body Love this photo shoot poses and her fair skin, we don't get to see enough fair beauty as maya and the poses the photographer did were great, i am a fan of a girls back nothing quite as sexy to me as the small of a girls back and butt of course and how her body looks through these poses is wonderful and her milky skin is sensual so good title for this set. Thank you and maya much
|kamaloka Japan
RE: Photo number 82 delicious red ass..yummy..!
|KOMET United States
MAYA IS AMAZONIAN MAYA (height 6'0") makes for a welcome addition. She and VALERIE (and either BRIGI or TEREZA) would be ideal for a photo series in which both women (fully nude) could be free to unabashedly masturbate themselves (side by side) and each other.
|B United States
An erotic iris. Great shots of a natural beauty.
|Goldie Norway
Maya alabaster beauty Wonderful contrast with pale skin and pink bits especially her nipples. Poses are adventurous and on the whole work well, difficult to find original poses. Nice to see all of the woman from every angle.
|Sandy United Kingdom
outstanding She is a very sexual and aroused woman who blows me away slightly in the same way that Yanna used to do. She obviously gets turned on by her posing as Yanna used to do and she should give Tereza and others lessons on how to pose naked. Brilliant and sexy set of poses
|hole in one Singapore
maya beautiful pale skin. maybe should couple with valerie's dark skin
|Max Thailand
Beautiful shoys Really enjoyed you oudoor shots by the pool, so erotic. I especially enjoyed the rear shos of your luscious pusssy.
|MarkoDarko Ireland
A few squats in her exercise regime and Maya would be perfect ;)
|nman Canada
Stunning and delicious pussy shots
|Maddy United States
Like me Maya is the girl that I would like to be. That's why I watch all the movies of hers. She moves just like me too.
|Chester United States
Watching I love watching girls masturbate themselves like her. What about a film of two of them doing at the same time? Hell. why not three? Anyone with me on this?
|Stevie United Kingdom
Re: Watching I will definitely vote for that.
|Raoul France
Covered up Maya is so beautiful in her white sheets but I think that we do not see enough of her body. She is covered up too much.
|Brad Panama
Panties It is the way she feels herself inside her panties that gets to me. What a great start to the movie.
|Fract Netherlands
MmmmmmMaya in Motion! I've had to wait a long time to see this lady in moving pictures, but it was so totally worth it. Exactly like I thought she would be, she's the kind of girl who just can't sit still. Tossing and turning in her bed, she gives a hot insight into the exquisite realm of auto-eroticism indeed. I can practically see the fire smouldering behind her closed eyelids. Those sensual lips. Her body-language as desire takes her over. Maya, you're fantastic! Pictures or movies, I want to see more of you. All of you! Applause!
|gooz United States
Better close that window. There's a fly in the ointment.
|dougieshaq United States
gorgeous. but wow, please do not use that music again.
|Brent United States
RE: Panties This is awesome, and I want to see more of Maya.
|Nakolo United States
Not my favorite Hmm. Pretty girl, but this wasn't my favorite video. The fly buzzing around is distracting, the music takes a weird turn, and she seems more in love with the blanket, than herself. C+.
|coladude Canada
I liked it. Reminds me of how my ex used to make herself cum just using a pillow or blanket. I don't mind the music but I'd prefer non at all...
|wheeler United States
didnt notice a fly...guess I was distracted(cant imagine why)
|sedphx United States
Wow! Her ability to completely ignore the cameras and show us something obviously very intimate and personal, is a gift. This is a special behind the scenes video.

CAIRO - Opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will press ahead with a protest on Tuesday to demand the scrapping of a decree extending his powers, rejecting the Islamist's attempt to defuse a crisis that has brought violence back to Cairo's streets.Morsi was accused of giving himself the powers of a modern-day pharaoh when he issued the decree last week that prevents legal challenges to any decision he takes until a new parliament is elected.The president tried to ease tensions on Monday by agreeing to a compromise proposed by senior judges on the Supreme Judicial Council limiting the scope of presidential decisions that are immune from a court challenge.But protesters camped out in Tahrir Square, the heart of the uprising that unseated Hosni Mubarak almost two years ago, said they would not leave until the decree was scrapped entirely.Violence has flared in the past when supporters and opponents of Morsi held rival protests. However, the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that propelled Morsi to office in this year's presidential poll, cancelled their own demonstration in Cairo also planned for Tuesday.One person has been killed and about 370 injured in violence since Morsi issued decree last Thursday.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System
The Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System makes it easy to create decorative punched borders OR edges on paper projects depending on the cartridge used. The system uses interchangeable cartridges in a variety of designs.
How It Works:
The base has a magnetic bar that holds the paper in place securely while punching. The system uses both the large AdvantEdge punch cartridges and has an adapter plate that enables the use of the standard interchangeable punch cartridges as well. The system can accommodate papers up to 12" long. The punch cartridges slide and lock into position as you punch which eliminates mistakes or misaligned punching. The base can be found for $49.99, large cartridges for $29.99 and smaller cartridges for $11.99. I was thrilled to be given the AdvantEdge system and several cartridges to review for FaveCrafts! In addition to the base with the included flower cartridge I received two additional cartridges - Ironworks and Winter Frost. Both are very intricate designs. The produce ribbons about 2 ¾" wide.
Set Up and Use:
Instructions for use are right on the back of the box. However, it is so easy to use you really don't need them! The cartridges slip in and out easily and are held in place by a tab on the bottom edge that fits into a notch on the base. To insert paper, slide the cartridge holder all the way to either end, lift the magnetic bar that holds the paper, slide the paper in all the way into the cartridge until it stops and be sure the edge is flat against the edge of the paper guide so it is straight. Lower the magnetic bar so the paper stays in place and begin punching. After the first punch, slide the cartridge over until it clicks into place and punch again. Continue until you get to the end of your paper.
I found the magnetic bar to hold the paper very well. The cartridge slides easily along the track and the punches are clean. The punch lever is nice and large and it is easy to punch using my palm.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.—Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith was in a good mood after practice Saturday because his starting offense rolled Thursday night a 27-23 preseason loss at Baltimore, and it figures to get better Sunday with the return of Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez.
The 37-year-old Gonzalez participated in the first three days of training camp after team officials in the spring coaxed him out of a brief retirement. He then left with the team's permission to be with his 12-year-old son, Nikko, as he began his youth football career in Los Angeles—keeping a promise he made while "retired."

After missing the Falcons' first two preseason games, including a 34-10 loss to the Bengals, Gonzalez will play in next week at Tennessee.
"That's very good news," Smith said. "Tony will be participating as we stated earlier in training camp that he was going to play in the third preseason game. We're excited to have him back on the practice field."
The Falcons jumped out to a 23-7 lead against the Ravens before Baltimore won the battle of subs. Both the rushing and passing attacks were dramatically improved.
LINEMAKERS: NFC South betting preview
Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones returned after missing the Bengals game with tight hamstrings, and caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.
Quarterback Matt Ryan passed for 97 yards with an 8-yard scoring strike to Jones.
Newly acquired running back Steven Jackson rushed eight times for 42 yards one week after rushing five times for 8, and Atlanta had 170 yards on the ground and 258 through the air.
"Overall, I think me and Matt connected very well out there," said Jones, who last season caught 79 passes for 1,198 yards and 10 touchdowns. "When I go out there, it's a game. You can't play around like, 'Eh, it's preseason.' That's how guys get injured. I just go out there and ... play to the best of my ability."
There was a bit of bad news in Baltimore, as four-time Pro Bowl wideout Roddy White sprained an ankle. Smith said White will not play Saturday at Tennessee. He's not likely to play in the Aug. 29 preseason finale against Jacksonville, either, as Smith typically does not play starters in the last game.
He's expected to be ready for Atlanta's regular season opener Sept. 8 at New Orleans.
Gonzalez, the NFL's career receptions leader among tight ends with 1,242, may get some work Sunday morning as the Falcons close their camp. He caught 93 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns last season to earn a 13th trip to the Pro Bowl.
He's a candidate to boost an offense that was anemic against the Bengals before rebounding in Baltimore. Smith said that Atlanta's young offensive linemen, including right tackle candidates Lamar Holmes and undrafted rookie Ryan Schraeder, were better.
"When you have some explosive runs, you are controlling the line of scrimmage," Smith said. "I thought both of them took a step forward. This is going to be a big week for them because we're going to play our starters ... into the third quarter."

Once most high-end home control systems are programmed and installed, there isn't much homeowners can do to reconfigure the settings other than call their electronics contractors—and that usually means additional labor charges. The owners of our home of the month never worry about that expense, though.
Thanks to a web-based software application provided to them by their custom electronics professionals (CE pros), they're free to modify their system whenever they please, and without financial repercussions. Called LivSystem, it's provided these homeowners a simple set of tools to manage and maintain their own home control system from their computer, iPhone and other Internet-connected devices. It's also saved the CE pros at Chicago–based Integrisys hundreds of hours of manpower.
The software resides on an AMX NetLinx home control processor, but can be accessed from any of this 7,000-square-foot home's 14 touchpanels.
Beta Testers
As one of Integrisys' first clients to use LivSystem, the owners of this renovated home have already done their share of tweaking.
Take the SPORTS button found on any the home's wall-mounted and portable touchpanels. The button was originally programmed by Integrisys so a high-def satellite DVR routed prerecorded Green Bay Packers games to every flat-panel LCD and plasma display in the house. However, the family can always log on to their online LivSystem Configurator tool to have the SPORTS button do something completely different—like send the game to the TVs only in the kitchen and home theater.
"Ordinarily, an adjustment like this might require that we roll a truck to the residence," says Integrisys founder and owner George Velazquez. Other programming adjustments in the residence could involve the lights, thermostats, motorized shades, audio equipment and security functions.
Big-Time Video
The control options in this tricked-out house seem endless, given the number of electronics tied to the AMX processor and LivSystem. The video distribution network alone could entertain a small village. High-def video from 23 DVRs, four Apple TV players and three Kaleidescape media servers are transmitted over a network of high-speed cabling to any of 14 flat-panel TVs and the home theater's Runco 1080p video projector. The family didn't hold back on the size of their displays, either. There's a 9-foot motorized screen in the theater, a 60-inch plasma in an upstairs media room and a 70-inch Sony Bravia LCD TV in the kitchen. Even the two guest rooms are well appointed, each with its own 42-inch display.
While video is a family favorite, the screens that pepper the residence are remarkably understated. They had to be, says Velazquez, given that the turn-of-the-century brownstone sits in a protected historic landmark district. Integrisys employed several clever installation techniques to prevent the big displays from marring the home's architectural character. A 26-inch TV in the master bathroom, for example, was mounted behind a Séura vanity mirror. The image from the TV appears through the glass only when it's turned on; otherwise it's invisible. In the den, which features original wood paneling, a TV was tucked into an alcove above the doorway so it's only noticeable when the owner is sitting at his desk.
Even the mammoth screen in the theater is undetectable at times. It rolls up into a ceiling cavity on command from a handheld remote, touchpanel or iPhone—or it can disappear automatically, based on the time of day.
Simple Controls
The AMX touchpanels, however, were left out in the open. As the owners' direct link to LivSystem and all the electronics in their house, the control panels need to be easily accessible, explains Velazquez. Therefore, nearly every room has its own wall-mounted unit—and most areas also boast handheld remotes.

Vivaldi may have made contact with Languet earlier, but the first commission of which we have certain knowledge is that for the wedding serenata, RV687, written to commemorate the nuptials of Louis XV and the Polish princess Maria Leszczyska and performed in the evening of 12 September 1725 in a loggia (still standing) at the end of the ambassador's garden. At very short notice, Languet organised a magnificent festa, which was minutely reported not only in a handwritten account in Italian for circulation among the ambassador's friends (the British Library in London possesses a copy of this relazione interleaved in the correspondence of the Roman cardinal Filippo Antonio Gualtieri) but also in the Mercure de France for October 1725, where we read: 'After the ball there was a serenata, whose words, suited to the subject [of the festivities], were much praised, and the music was by Signor Vivaldi, who is the best composer in Venice'.
Vivaldi's very hastily written autograph score of the serenata today lacks the fascicle containing the introductory sinfonia and, with it, the title of the serenata. As in operas, sinfonias were very necessary accessories for serenatas, since in addition to providing some very welcome purely instrumental music, they acted as 'noise-killers', alerting the audience to the start of the performance. For the present recording, a rarely heard sinfonia in C major, RV116, in the usual three movements has been selected. The choice lay, effectively, between C major and B flat major, since minor-key sinfonias are very rare, and Vivaldi always avoids making the first chord of the opening recitative (here, F major) the same as the tonic chord of the preceding sinfonia.
The two characters in this serenata are Imeneo (Hymen, the god of marriage) and La Gloria (Glory, the attribute of the French monarch). There is really no 'plot': the two characters simply vie with one another in heaping enconiums on the young couple. La Gloria leads off by descending to earth and inviting Louis to welcome his Polish bride in a pompous aria ('Alle amene franche arene') thematically related to one in Vivaldi's recent opera Giustino (1724) and to the first movement of his concerto for two horns RV538. Imeneo then invites the princess to share the marriage bed and reminds her of the duties of a good wife in a strangely restless aria in C minor ('Tenero fanciulletto'). The wedding congratulations continue in strict rotation until the two cheerleaders join forces in a lively duet, 'Vedrò sempre la pace'. Two further arias (prepared, as always, by recitatives) arrive, and we at last reach the climax of the serenata: the final recitative. By tradition, this is the point at which the joyful occasion is summed up – the anonymous poet even manages to squeeze in a tribute to Languet himself for hosting the festa – and its 'message' is delivered in definitive form. This celebration, sings La Gloria, will remain indelibly etched in human memory. It remains only for the couple to sing a final duet, 'In braccio de' contenti', which is another borrowing from Giustino.

Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Largo con gran espressione
Movement 3: Allegretto con spirito
The 'beastly stuff' was first performed in the Leipzig Gewandhaus on 15 December 1910. Frieda Kwast-Hodapp was the soloist and Arthur Nikisch conducted. Reger was delighted with the performance, nicknaming the soloist 'Kwast-Hutab' ('Kwast-Hats off') in honour of her playing. The critics, however, hated it. Paul Bekker—a champion of Mahler and Schoenberg—was withering, though rather contradictory. On the one hand, Bekker deplored 'this kaleidoscope-like jumble of ideas that have no real beginning, no recognizable conclusion, no organic coherence', and on the other, charged Reger with using 'slavishly exact copies of old forms' that had been transformed into 'unnaturally distended monstrous growths […] the products of a personality who lacks the capacity for organic construction'. If anything, the judgement of Walter Niemann was even more negative: 'The F minor Concerto presents no particular difficulty to those pianists familiar with Brahms and Liszt, and who possess developed full-chord and register-transfer skills. The work is halfway inventive only in the first movement and for the rest is simply schematic and Max-imally irritating. Thus I must openly acknowledge that the work seemed to me to be the latest miscarriage of the Reger muse as she sinks deeper and deeper into inbreeding.' Reger was hurt by the hostile press reception of the Piano Concerto—it was a critical assault that literally drove him to drink and by the following year he was seen turning up to concerts blind drunk. His health quickly declined, leading to his death (from a heart attack) in 1916, when he was just forty-three.
In February 1912 Reger wrote to Georg, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen: 'My Piano Concerto is going to be misunderstood for years. The musical language is too austere and too serious; it is, so to speak, a pendant to Brahms's D minor Piano Concerto. The public will need some time to get used to it.' Reger was still bitter about the critics: 'It's really very funny that the German critics yet again are baffled when faced with my Piano Concerto, since all three movements are written in strict classical forms, and in the Largo the chorale 'Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden' appears note-for-note as the principal melody—and none of those donkeys noticed.' Walter Frisch writes that Reger was 'proud of his Piano Concerto, claiming that in it he had "found a path that is more likely to lead to a goal than all the other new paths"', and Reger's own estimation of the work makes his irritation with the critics all the more understandable. Its subsequent history is more encouraging: the young Rudolf Serkin gave a highly praised performance in Vienna with Furtwängler and the Wiener Tonkünstler Orchestra in January 1922, and when Serkin and Mitropoulos gave the US premiere in Minneapolis on 16 November 1945, the reception was so enthusiastic that the finale had to be encored. Some resistance remained, even from the Reger pupil George Szell. When Serkin suggested they should perform the Concerto, Szell replied that he couldn't 'stomach it'; Serkin was 'surprised, disappointed and hurt' by Szell's reaction.
In Frieda Kwast-Hodapp, Reger had a swashbuckling and fearless soloist, and the piano writing in the concerto reflects this, conceived for a consummate virtuoso. The instrument is treated with a sheer flamboyance that sets this work apart from some of Reger's solo piano music. Despite his dislike of the work, Walter Niemann's review (quoted above) identified the two dominant influences—Brahms and Liszt—on the sonority and layout of the piano part. The influence of Brahms is clear. What Charles Rosen called 'the inspiration of awkwardness' in Brahms's piano style is also evident in Reger's concerto. It makes huge technical demands on the soloist while avoiding the temptation to dazzle for the sake of it. As well as some daunting passages in octaves, the soloist has to negotiate some elaborate figurations in the inner parts, and some thoroughly Brahmsian leaps and cross-rhythms. This apparent 'awkwardness' is for strictly musical ends—partly to integrate the solo part into the musical argument rather than to dominate it, and partly to draw some unusually rich colours from the keyboard. But other passages recall the kind of kaleidoscopic textures that can be found in Liszt's B minor Sonata—from massive chords to passages of glittering delicacy ranging across the whole compass of the piano. Reger draws on the examples of these earlier masters to fashion an individual manner of writing for the soloist that requires a grand display of keyboard prowess while never compromising the fundamental seriousness of the musical argument.
The opening of the Allegro moderato (with a timpani roll and a rhythm that both echo the start of Brahms's D minor Concerto) shows Reger at his most advanced harmonically, with a deliberate avoidance of the home key (F minor). Like Brahms's model, the first movement is much the longest of the three. After a brief orchestral introduction, the piano erupts in fortissimo octaves. The highly developed dramatic interplay between soloist and orchestra (the piano writing often overtly Brahmsian) brings to mind Tovey's description of Reger the 'consummate rhetorician'. The radiant second theme (marked molto tranquillo) is Reger at his most memorably lyrical.
The slow movement, Largo con gran espressione, begins with a piano soliloquy. Hermann Unger described this movement as 'an ever-blossoming melody', and a 'transfiguration scene'. But what is being transfigured? Reger claimed that he used a chorale tune 'note-for-note as the principal melody' (the most famous of the Passion chorales, 'Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden'—'O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden'; its first four notes are clearly heard on the oboe and first violins a few minutes in). Reger draws on two other chorales: 'O Welt, ich muss dich lassen' (used in both the St Matthew and St John Passions) steals in at the first hushed entry of the strings, and at the end of the movement a fragment of 'Vom Himmel hoch' is heard on the oboe. Yet Reger never sounds like pastiche; he employs these chorale fragments as part of a richly original and beautiful fabric. The finale, marked Allegretto con spirito, is a stormy piano-orchestra dialogue that eventually resolves into an exciting dash to an affirmative conclusion in F major.

Apple's alleged Kindle-crusher set for spring release?
Apple's alleged Kindle-killing tablet appears to be on the runway for a spring 2010 takeoff. And in what may or may not be related news, two top-drawer US publishers are holding back ebooks of dozens of their upcoming major titles until the same time frame. According to one analyst's "supply chain sources," mass production of …
Keep It Simple
I'm all for technology convergence, but I think book readers should really be kept simple. Desired features are: Readability, battery life, portability, ruggedness, storage, low price.
Something similar to a Nintendo DS but with full-size e-ink screens would be a great format for a book reader (ie. Clamshell, 2 screens, held as you would hold a book)
Lo? (!)
Lo is this a 21st century I see before me?
iPorn Mags
can't wait for the full colour porn mags app
i'll get my coat
What is the use of an e-book reader that you can't read in sunlight? e-ink screens are ideal in this situation as well as not requiring power to keep them readable.
It appears that this is something like a jumped up photo frame because it will need access to a power point at frequent intervals.
I would love something such as Craig2 describes - there you would have a real e-book.
THAT is a state secret!
"Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove"
How did you learn his true name? Out with it!
(Had to think - should it be the black helicopter or the joke alert?... went with PH cause she does not have any secrets.)
Where's the Courier?
3 months ago (alleged) snaps of the Courier turn up online, with spec.s Surely this puts that interesting looking device ahead in the vaporware race, but after that brief blip, it vanishes from online media consciousness and the only thing we here about is the still putative Apple Grail. With any luck this obsessive fixation on all things (real or imagined) Cupertino might mean that the Courier will end up nice and cheap.
No EPD? No use!
Yes, those EPD panels are slow, and no, they're not exactly colourful.
They have two massive advantages though, insignificant power consumption, and daylight readability.
Without the advantages of EPD you may as well read it on a laptop as you'll need that power socket anyway...
Can we call it the Jesus Book...
... or has that name already been taken by something?
LCD and EPD?
Wasn't there an outfit making laptops with both an LCD and EPD display, sitting on top of each other (with a transparent LCD on top)? It was designed for lighting/power issues as described above. That tech in a tablet would be pretty sweet. Switch to LCD for the full razz, switch to EPD for just 'reading'.
@ Antidisestablishmentarianist
You're thinking of Pixel Qi who have demoed a screen but haven't begun production just yet.
And yes, it is an awesome idea.
I'll get one...
If I can read Charles Fort's 'Lo!' on it
NetBook killer also?
If it has the same range of apps as the touch/iPhone, wifi, and a decent storage, I can see it eating into the netbook market, and making an incredible mobile storage multimedia device.
It will be great as an extended viewing device for photographers, journalists and other media types too.
I can imagine doctors using these connected to various devices, soldiers on the field etc.
These are technologically exciting times, anything that pushes the boundaries is welcome in my eyes.
Re: NetBook killer also?
The key word you use is 'viewing'. I know Intel and PC vendors like to insist that netbooks are solely for viewing content, but rather a lot of us journos use them for creating too.
I wrote stacks of CES 2008 stories and edited pictures on an Eee PC 701. Tricky, yes, but I did it, and it sure beat lugging a 15in laptop (my main machine at the time) around.
Apple's tablet may work well - especially if equipped with updated Newton tech - for taking notes, but I very much doubt it'll do Gimp/Photoshop.
Netbook killer? Nah.
As a side issue....
.....for £20, I bought a PC-Line wireless keyboard and optical mouse from PC-World; it connects to my Eee PC via a little USB dongle and is fantastic for ease of use on long sessions. The keyboard may not be the sort of thing you'd like to lug around with you, but to have that optical wireless mouse for web-surfing and for photo viewing/editing is much better that using the Eee trackpad.
I thoroughly recommend you get one.
lots of possible applications...but...
Would be very cool for mobile audio / video work. A touchscreen EQ/Mixer/MIO Controller.
Of course Apple want to audit your life before letting you develop accessories for the iPhone's USB connector. Here's hoping they have the sense to include a normal USB port (so unlikely).
here we go again...
how is an 'ebook magazine' so much different to a website? ie. whats the bloody point?
i actually like a magazine to be....a magazine...made of shiny paper with interesting layouts and nice glossy pics.....not a fecking webpage....they are totally different things....
I have zero, nada, zilch interest in whatever overpriced, shiny tat Apple bring to the market. I already have an Astak ereader which is absolutely superb and does exactly what I want, i.e. stores lots of books relatively cheaply thus letting me clear out all the dead trees cluttering up my house. It is superbly portable, brilliant to read on and has fantastic battery life.
For everything else I have my Toshiba U820 and a proper laptop, both of which run Linux. I usually buy only ebooks which have no DRM because I utterly despise it.
Note that many publishers are already going down the same lunatic road of regional restrictions, drm and the like that caused music piracy. Also note that many ebooks are NOT cheaper than the hardback or even paperbook equivalents. I suggest the mobileread.com forums for anyone interested in ebooks.
That's that, then
An anonymous poster (and a furry-toothed Linux geek, at that) on a tech comment board has expressed his disinterest in a product. Time for Apple to shut down production!
I hope
it can be used as a giant iPod touch.
Why not
just buy a PDA which may work out cheaper? In addition to all of the other usual functions, calendar, spreadsheet, outlook, and mp3 player etc. my HP model has e-book reader installed so I can download and read as many free e-books as I like.
eBook pricing
'S&S and Hachette, to be sure, are motivated primarily by the fact that ebooks command much lower prices than hardcovers'
Guess they haven't looked in the Waterstone's store where eBooks are regularly more than the same hardback from either Waterstones or Amazon. The companies claim this is because eBooks attract VAT, but I reckon it's called 'blatant profiteering' in anyone else's language.
@ iPorn Mags & Netbook killer
First off, I think the iPad would beat porn mags as your tongue won't get stuck in the staples..
That said, the ONLY problem that prevents an iPad from becoming an Netbook killer is the keyboard - that is *always* the problem with input, handwriting only goes so far.
However, there's no reason that what worked for even for Palm can't work here too: external keyboards. What's more, if they install a sensible Bluetooth stack it could interface with all sorts of external keyboards, including that mad device called Laser Keyboard. Your battery life would suck, though.
There's only one real challenge there: none of this stuff is made by Apple..
The whole point of dedicated e-book readers is the paper-like e-ink screens.

I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."

The other pieces in the set are all in fairly traditional forms, in an idiom familiar from his Monologues and Character Pieces for solo organ. Abendlied, Pastorale and Elegie all demonstrate Rheinberger's ability to spin long and expressive melodic lines, and he thought highly enough of them to arrange them for cello. Even in the simple song form of a piece like Abendlied, he confounds our expectations by interrupting the reprise with new material. The third movement is a Gigue, with a certain earthy, peasant-like quality to it. The adagio of the sixth movement combines the sharply dotted rhythms of the French overture with the rhetorical flourishes of the nineteenth-century virtuoso. The energetic fugato which follows moves effortlessly in and out of passages of contrasting lyricism. The opening dotted style returns at the end to round the piece off in a grand and dramatic manner.
