Managed to finish this game on the PS3 recently. Can't say I was all that impressed. For the record, I don't play them online. But, I do like a good shooter from time to time.
I've been playing them all the way back to Doom, Doom 2, Hexen.. In recent memory my favorites have been Gears of War I and II, Modern Warfare I and II.
So, needless to say I'm looking forward to Gears of War III and maybe whatever Infinity Wards successor intends to call Modern Warfare 3 when they get around to making one.
I found Black Ops to play well, graphics were good enough. It's just that the disjointed story was boring, and bouncing all over the place. And by the end the twist wasn't much of a surprise.
But then the last game they did didn't impress me much either. As this installment was done by Treyarch and I didn't much care for World at War either.. Bit of a pattern here.
So with that I would give it a 2 out of 5. Worth a rental, but barely I enjoyed the demo of Bulletstorm better.

BulletStorm
Downloaded and played the demo from PSN yesterday on my PS3. I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised. About as surprised as you can be playing a FPS these days. Since they all follow pretty much the same formula with just different backdrops and effects thrown in. Kinda like how Hollywood makes movies these days.
This time you you have your usual array of destructive weapons and firepower. But now you have this tractor beam bungie cord attached to your arm that you can grab people with and pull them back to you in bullet time so you can shoot their bits off, or whip them into objects. All of this garners you bonus points you can spend throughout the levels.
The demo was pretty short, one level. But did a good job of showing off the game. The game looks good, plays smooth and controls well. And like the Gears franchise (Epic in both counts) I love the mechanic of not using hit points and being able to duck into cover, to regenerate your invisible hit points, because we all know they are tracking damage somehow even if the points don't show on screen.
Definitely going to rent this one so I can run through the whole thing.
