Locust's Ahead


Gears of War 2 was announced 2 months ago that the game will be released in November of 2008. I've been waiting for this game to arrive ever since I stopped playing the original Gears of War and moved onto Halo 3. I felt that nothing could beat Gears of war which was the best FPS that I had ever played up to this point. I got so caught up in playing Xbox Live GOW that I never ended up completing the campaign, although it seemed real fun. I developed a problem and could not stop myself from going straight to Xbox Live when the game got done loading. The characteristics that I enjoyed about GOW was the tucked running, ability to post up against the walls, and the rolling to defend the oncoming bullets. My assumption turned out to be wrong. Halo 3 exceeded my expectations and the best part that I enjoyed about the game was the fact that there was very little to no lag on Xbox Live. I would give the upper hand to Halo 3 over GOW for a better FPS, which I thought was going to be impossible. First-person-shooter games are becoming more and more "real" and I believe that once again the bar is going to be raised and Gears of War 2 will be the best first-person-shooter game ever created. http://gearsofwar.com/
