Gears of War 2

Well now that christmas holidays are over I can reflect on everything I got up to. Xbox, beer, Xbox. Probably the most time ive actually spent playing the thing. I finally got to finish a couple of games, Gears of War 2, Guitar Hero 3 (On easy - oh yes it was easy) and then managed to get stuck playing Bioshock..i probably should have played it on easy instead of medium...then i might have clocked that too. I was given another copy of Bioshock for christmas, now i just need some more friends to play some multiplayer with me...otherwise i should probably sell it on ebay.

Gears of War 2 is awesome. I especially love how when you zoom in the focus shifts from object to object giving it a sense of reality.
Gears of War 2 is a tactical third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game StudiosIn Gears of War 2, the Locust (The alien? scum) have found a way to make giant emergence holes capable of sinking entire cities at once. Marcus Fenix and the rest of the COG Delta Squad are now drilling underground to "take the fight to the Locust."

Xbox 360 - GOW2 & Left 4 Dead

I spent the weekend playing Gears of War 2 and Left 4 Dead with some mates, GOW2 is an old favourite and I just purchased Left 4 Dead last week. L4D is absolutely hectic, I played it with another friend online against some random people on Xbox Live - It starts off with the 4 of us walkking through a forest or a city somewhere and within a minute we are surrounded by swarms of zombies. All we are doing is yelling and shooting everything in sight, including our own team mates..once the immediate zombies are dead and the adrenalin is wearing off we all are having a good laugh and chatting about how crazy that just was. The whole game is like that which is pretty intense after a few hours - but hell fun. I wanted to grab another copy so we could system link up and play against another 2 players at home, so we went to 5 different video stores around town but not one of them had a single copy of it to even rent out.
We followed that up with a 5 player system link match of Halo 3, always good for a laugh as well, i totally suck at that game - always coming in the bottom 2 players hahaha.
