A bit of and easy review for me to do here as I’ve already talked about the multi player side of the game in a bit of details so what the hell is left to say well it’s simple there is the main part of the game and that is the campaign and while it’s not groundbreaking in any sense it still a really good romp while it lasts.
Now I’m not going to go on about the story and spoil a lot of things for you because that would be pointless but i am going to say that if you followed the story from the first game you will be glad to know that it starts off from where the first one finished and while it doesn’t end off with everything tied up in a nice small bow there still is enough big set piece and story line plot holes filled in for you.
One of the best things about this campaign is that instead of hitting you with even more colourless backdrops and levels it has had a little lick of paint with huge vistas and touches of colour here and there just to make things a little more brighter instead of the bleakness of the first Gears.
taking into account that this doesn’t push the game forward with innovation like the first Gears of War did this is till a strong game with enough to make Gears fans really happy.
One piece of advice though you will get more enjoyment out of this by playing it through with a friend as the computer A.I can get on your nerves if you are going for kills and achievements.
Overall
With a strong single player and a multi player that will see a lot of play Gears of War 2 should be in your collection if you are a Gears fan but be warned that there are a few issues with getting into multi player maps and the campaign will not have the same impact on you like the first Gears of War did 89%
Don’t forget to check up on the multiplayer side of the game to find out what you can expect.
After a very long break i have decided to bring back the reviews and they will be tackled in one of two ways.
The first is the new 1 minute review where you will it should only take you 1 minute to read the review instead of getting bogged down with page after page of text to read and the second is the straight forward review but these will only happen on rare occasions.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the scoring system will change as well so instead of rating the review out of the scale 1-10 they will be given a percentage so now they will rate from 0% - 100%.
Finally with these changes happening with the reviews i have decided to do a big review blow out with the next four days having a new 1 minute review done ending on Saturday with an old fashion review for Tomb Raider Underworld.
The games under review for the next four will be the following:-
Monday - Gears of War 2
Tuesday - Call of Duty World At War
Wednesday - Left 4 Dead
Thursday - Mirrors Edge
Saturday - Tomb Raider Underworld.
So keep checking back for them and I’m going to try and get a guess to do a review for me for Friday but just in case Friday will now be the main day for new game trailers.
It’s only a few weeks to wait for all of those that are drooling over Call of Duty World at War well as i was looking on one of my favorite sites i found a world exclusive trailer for World at War and to my surprise it was something that you wouldn’t of thought that would be in a Call of Duty game.
Now below is that trailer and tell what you think of these new Nazi’s that are after you Brainzzzzzzz
Those nice people over at gametrailers.com have the exclusive first trailer for the new splatterhouse game and guess what we have it for you here for you to have a look at.
I said that i would have a lot of TGS stuff for you to read however i haven’t been able to fulfill that because of things that i don’t want to say on here so as a little treat for you i have a trailer for the new CGI Resident Evil movie that was shown at this years TGS.
So enjoy the trailer and keep checking back for updates on here soon.
It’s the Tokyo GameShow this week and i will try and have as much stuff from there over the next few days including big updates on Saturday and Sunday.
To kick things off i have some trailers for you to cast your eyes over so enjoy them and don’t forget to keep checking back.
First off is Dead Rising Chop Till you Drop on the Wii
Halo 3 Recon trailer
No More Heroes 2 Trailer
New Resident Evil 5 Trailer
I will have much more stuff for you so come back soon and check everything out
I just love my trailers i do and you can tell that by the amount i post on here however i will not stop as long as there are good game trailers out there i will put them up here for you to cast your eyes over.
Today i have a teaser trailer (and i mean teaser) for Timespliters 4 (about bloody time).
I have been trying to think of new things to do for this site that other ones have not done yet and then an idea struck me after watching an episode of Family Guy.
During one episode Peter is given a spot on Channel 6 where he tells everybody what has been getting on his nerves and that feature was call Grinding My Gears and guess what i have decided to pinch that idea and do the same but for games.
So what is my first entry into the new Grind My Gears feature well it’s those idiots on Call of Duty 4 who moan at every little thing.
There is one element of online gaming that i really hate and it’s those idiots who think that they are the best at videogames even if they keep getting beat.
Case in point is that a few days ago i was playing an online team deathmatch game with a few friends on Call of Duty 4 only for a few of the opposite team to start calling us Noobs for beating them time after time and then going off in a moan saying we were camping even though we were using sniper rifles and everybody knows that it pays to camp a little while using a sniper so you can get a good shot.
Now this wouldn’t of gotten on my nerves however it was happening time after time and it was starting to grate on me that people cannot come to terms with the fact that there are people out there who are better than them so the only way for them to get there own back isn’t for them to continue playing and trying to get a win but for them to start moaning like little children.
It’s these kind of people who i wish would just shut the hell up and stop playing videogames as you are just showing yourself up by acting like a child in front of people who don’t know you.
If i’m able to play more than a few games of COD online without anybody moaning then it would make this videogamer one very happy person.
So thats it for my first Grinding my Gears and i’m hoping to have more for you soon.
I know i have been posting a lot of trailers but it’s down to the fact that i haven’t had as much time as i would like however i do promise that this weekend i will have a few things to have a good look at.
So just to pass the time i have 2 trailers for you that couldn’t be any different.
First off is a trailer for some upcoming wii games
And i also have a new co-op trailer for you from Call of Duty World at War.
So enjoy the trailers and don’t forget to check back this weekend for a new post and also the forum is still there for you to chat about anything.
