Gears of War

Blog posted by Jesse on November 8, 2006, 11:44 pm

I picked up Gears of War today and it's fucking fantastic. I haven't had this much fun with a co-op FPS since Halo 1. If you have a 360, this game is a must.

I ordered it from buy.com using google checkout for $48 shipped. Should get it some time next week.

I'm going to make a game called Comical Sam that will be the most action packed game ever EVER.

Shaky cam duck-run feature is the most intense action item in a game so far in my life.

I can't wait til they make another WW2 war game and use the same engine for DDay scenario.

Jim picked it up, too. We should play it over Live sometime. I didn't really like it when I first picked it up, but after I got used to the controls and stopped trying to introduce everyone in the game to the chainsaw bayonet I'm loving it as well.

Picked it up this weekend. Played maybe 2 hours of it. Controls were a little weird at first, but now I own. I also started out in hardcore mode and got my ass handed to me. Casual is better for playing through it although the difficulty looks like it will be a challenge in hardcore.

Allen and I finished the game on casual last night and it certainly was challenging at parts. I feel like I could go through the other two difficulties much easier now that I know where to go and what's going to happen.

I was very impressed with the whole game but the last level was truely amazing and incredible to play through. I played a little multiplayer on live over the weekend and even though I got my ass handed to me, I thought it was fantastic.

What are your guy's live account names so I can add them? Mine is ag3mo.

How many people here have a 360? I wasn't aware that everyone else except for me had one...

w0000... long time no comment. This game is incredible. I picked it up the other day and my roommate and I started co-op right away on casual (havent played single player yet). The whole dynamic of taking cover, hopping over walls, around doors, etc. makes this the best console game I've played in a very long time.

Wish I had live for multiplayer, but not ready to pick that up just yet.
