the abomination. I thought were headed in the right direction. We had made leaps and bounds on the design between Xbox and Xbox 360. My Three-Sixty is downright sexy. And Nintendo made a console looking GameCube, truly a sight too behold. But I was walking through Wal-Mart when I spotted a PlayStation 3 in the display case. My first thought was “there it is,” and then “how could you miss it!” It’s huge! Of course, there’s a PS2 in there also but sheesh!!! I can’t believe that thing. It looks like there should be a Wii and a 360 in there too. I am appalled. Video game consoles should look sexy, not like if they fell on your head you would be killed instantly. Which brings me to my next point… USE THE CONSOLE NEAR THE FLOOR. We have enough injuries stemming from this launch.. we don’t need any more.

Talk about panic!
Tried to play Gears just now. Tried and tried and tried to play Gears.. but it just wouldn’t load anything! I tried to start new games, all kinds of stuff. Then I found this. Seems that LIVE was down (just the Gears of War part) and wouldn’t load my save. Good thing I checked though, I thought my save was bad and almost deleted my game-save! That’s some poor programming right there.. great game but bad idea at the same time. Thanks ChrisG for saving me the headache! Now it’s too late to play(took me an hour to find anything, should have gone to IGN a long time ago ), but at least I can pick it up there tomorrow!

Turning the Gears
I finally got my hands on Gears of War last night. My beautiful wife got it for me for Christmas and let me open it early! (Thanx sweetie!). After a few hours I was in chapter 3 when I just had to knock off and go to bed.. with visions of Locust Hoard still dancing in my head. I must say, the guys over at Epic have created something wonderful. Let me address some of my favorite things about the game:
The game-play is brilliant. Instead of a run/strafe/jump type game-play Gears is so much more fluid. Using cover is part of any realistic firefight and Gears does this better than I have ever seen. Cover fire, pop-and-shoot, cover agian. It took me the better part of an hour and I had the new reloading system down and really felt like I was in the environment. Using cover is awesome!!!
The voice overs have been attacked some in the last few weeks but I have played much worse and didn’t think it was that bad. The game does not disappoint and lends FPSs a very fresh and new game.So, go grab it! And then come help me kill the Hoard!!!
