Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Meet the rest of the team
ill be getting it tonight at midnight. im excited about it because i had so much fun with the first one. the story was fantastic and the multiplayer was just as good. there was much room for improvement however and im hoping the hype is much deserved.
I'll get MW2 if I have enough money, might have to wait until Friday though when I get paid. I've got my fingers crossed for my entry in that MW2 contest.
I just watched the Dreamkiller video and it was looking really good until I saw the actual game play towards the end.....seriously..... I thought this was going to be almost like a new Myst or something original but it's more like Duke Nukem, even down to the N64 graphics
I haven't decided if I'm going to the midnight launch or not. I probably will, but that means taking a vacation day tomorrow. Am I that much of a nerd that I'll take a day off of work for a video game? Yeah, probably.
I still have to play COD4 sadly, so I might not be getting MW2 until Christmas. Oh, well... L4D2 will more than help to hold me over when it comes out next week.
I'll do what I did for COD4, wait a year till it gets cheap, I will not support hiked prices for games to fill the sickening greed of publishers. Except for demand, there is no reason why MW2 should cost £60 in the UK, it's disgraceful. I don't agree with the civilian airport part as well, but seeing as you can skip it, there is no reason why I can't ever play the game.
@Fozzo: not at all! BT3 was my favorite DBZ game. I just wish they would have put some effort into it and made the game more awesome. For example, the battle map should extend to the entire planet that you're on (IMO) so you can actually fight all over the place and send people flying for super far distances. That would be cool.
Attack of the Saiyans is surprisingly good. Well, I was looking forward to it a lot but wasn't expecting much. Enjoying it way more than I probably should.
Fuck. I just bought Shaun white snowboarding at budget price.
In the winter, Mr. Socks turns into a snowboarding, and snowboarding game, whore.
You could say i'm stoked for the Big Air Edition. HOHOHOHO merry christmas.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
...unfortunately.
What the hell is that? Sounds like some lame indie title.
Pass.
Waiting to get a used copy of MW2. Fuck you Activision.
But wait...Demon's Souls came out last month.
Oh...wait...you meant...
I'm getting nothing this week. At least, I hope I'm getting nothing. I'll probably end up with something or another.
Epic fight
And I didn't even know Phantasy Star Zero was coming out yet. To Gamestop!
Btw, I do hope they have kept those cool images in Phantasy Star 0 that you can do in the chat windows... :o
