Call Of Duty: Black Ops
Graphics: 3/5
The single player graphics look halfway decent. It is a step down from its predessor, COD Modern Warfare 2. It still looks good, but it could have been better and seems like the developers got lazy. It has graphics of a game that they had made about 2 years ago but it does get the job done.
Sound: 3/5
The sound effects in this game are 'fake' sounding. The guns sound very weak and there is a lot of other things in the map that make unecessary sounds. They almost removed the ability to hear a foe approching, which was huge in the previous games.
Single Player: 4/5
I enjoyed the story, and the way that it was told. I like the fact that they tried a lot of new things with the new system. Many effects were used and the plot is better than every one of its previous counter-parts. It comes off as the regular war-zone type of cliche but certain elements are added that make it much more enjoyable. They even bring back old characters from the previous game.
Multi-Player: 4/5
You can play the traditional Player Vs Player (PvP) FPS game, which isnt really much of a change from any of the other games, besides slight changes in the mechanics. However in this game, they give you the option to play 'Zombies'. Here you can team up with friends and fight off endless hoardes of zombies, working to together to get to the next round. The multiplayer provides different playstyles for different gamers and is very well-rounded besides one or two game-breaking mechanics.

What is a Computer Game?
A computer game is something used to pass time, have fun, entertain, make money or play professionally.
It can be used to meet and connect with other through online gaming. When played professionally, you can travel across countries to compete and earn money and fame. A computer game gives people a way to talk and connect in many ways.
What makes a good game is a good storyline, gameplay, mechanics, multiplayer functions, competition and replayability. In my opinion, a good story and gameplay go hand in hand. The mechanics help towards the fun factor. If its a single-player game, replayability is a must. Once you complete the campaign or story of the game and are left with nothing else, the game becomes boring. Many classic games are so popular because of the replayability and competition. Simplicity is also a good factor in these games. Although many people also like to be given a good challenge.
What makes a bad game is if the game is hardly tested and has many bugs and glitches. A game that is not supported by its developer after-production is usually a bad sign. Also the story is bland and the gameplay is too choppy. The game might be extremely difficult or impossible to defeat. Also a game that is too easy to beat is bad aswell.
