Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

I shed a tear today while reading an article on Call of Duty 4 over at IGN. According to their review, the game has shipped without any sort of co-op multiplayer. Another review over at Gametrailers.com discussed the lack of vehicles as a drawback, yet still gives it a 9+ score. Overall, reviewers are raving about the game, hardly taking points off for the lack of road rage or campaign co-op.

More than the lack of vehicles, I’m horribly disappointed that the game has decided to launch without any co-op multiplayer. If you didn’t already know, I’m a huge fan of the gametype and coincidentally it just happens to be the only way I’ve played Halo 3 online. I know I’m not alone with this sentiment, it’s really one of the few ways to avoid the fools online. There are people out there who will pick up COD4 expecting a cooperative game mode to be included. it’s practically an industry standard right now.

If I were reviewing it, I’d have to take a full point off due to the lack of cooperative multiplayer in the campaign. A lack of vehicles is almost rediculous as well, especially considering how many of the videos highlight vehicular combat. It seems there’s simply too much varied content on my 360 and PS3 for me to be limited to playing on foot and alone in COD4. Even so, I’ll still let my rental be the judge.

Until that shows up in the mail, that’s my Jeep running your ass over.
