Pumped For Gears of War 2

It’s not often I play a lot of games, mostly because I’m busy working hard on my sites. And the free time I have I usually just like to relax, we all know that some games can take up a lot of time (World of Warcraft etc.) so I normally don’t really get into games that much anymore. If I do feel like playing a game it will load up hockey or Counter-Strike: Source (Gungame Deathmatch is awesome). That pretty much feeds my need for gaming. I do own an Xbox 360, but like I said I don’t have that many games for it, the last game I bought was NHL 09.

One of my favorite games for my 360 is Gears of War. When it first came out the graphics and gameplay were amazing, it was one of the most anticipated games for the 360. I’m sure a lot of your remember the Mad World trailer that was played on TV for a straight month before the game came out. Watching that trailer really got you excited for the game. Well just like the original Gears of War there is another trailer just like that for Gears of War 2.


These trailers are great, they really portray Gears of War as not just a game, but a great story, and playing through the original Gears of War felt like I was living the story. Not many games can do that, and not many games look amazing like Gears of War. Gears of War 2 not only has new weapons, but new game modes and much more!

The Gears of War figurehead is Cliff Bleszinski who is the design director for game development at Epic Games. I’ve been playing his games for the longest time, even since Unreal Tournament, which was one of my favorite games of all time and I still own all Unreal games all the way up to Unreal Tournament 3. I know a game is going to be good if Cliff is involved.

So I’m all set for tonight, I have my Gears of War 2 LE preorder all paid off, have a 6 pack of Vault, and 3 frozen pizzas! I will be waiting in line to get it at midnight! If you follow me on twitter I will be posting photos from the GameStop at my mall. If you are getting the game add me to your friends on Xbox Live, my gamertag is Enigma5.

Ahhh, a xbox owner :P I have the old xbox, but now only have a Wii. I have thought about getting the 360, but the monthly subscription to XBL just kills it for me. My systems are usually modded, so yea…

As for CS, you play the GG DM games too??!? :D I do all the time!

XBL is like $50 a year, that’s really not expensive

I just joined the Xbox 360 bandwagon a couple of months ago and I picked up a used copy of Gears. Haven’t really gotten into it yet, mostly because I suck at games like this (stealth/FPS/etc.), but it’s been fun.

I also really like how the ads feature unconventional music choices for a game of this type. It’s refreshing. Mad World is better than this one, but still good.

On a side note, Bob, if Mike had a modded 360, there’s a good chance he’d be booted from XBL. So I hear, anyhow.

I still have the old xbox, and haven’t been playing games in a long time. My last game addiction was “The Punisher”, yup, it’s been that long!
