a lot of stuff has turned up but lets start with gears of war.

6/10

sorry i had to. gears of war is the next halo, and you all should know how much i despise halo. you see what happens is people find somthing that works and they stick with, they dont think to change they just do it, most of the time without thinking and thats what gears of war is, they said "look at halo its making money, wed like to make some money to, oh i know lets make a game" "good idea george, lets make a game, but what kind of game should we make" "weeell halo's making money maybe we should make a game like halo!" "good idea goerge"

ya i know its a cheap shot, but it bugs me when people are looking to make a game for the sheer profit and not to be creative.

lets look at gear more indepthly shall we? "yes"

ok the controls, i can deal with in fact i like the controls, except for the fact that it doesnt seem to matter what kind of cover you have, your always taking hits, you use the y button for just about everything, and there is no jump key except on the full moon on the second tuesday of november when the sun had bloomed the iris flower that is in the soil of NATURUALLY fermented nutrients instead of the kind you get at dominion... you get my point.

also there is no health bar! i know its novil but jeeze! i cant really tell when im dead or dying most of the time. and if that werent enough! they add an unkillable boss (BAD IDEA) what kind of person comes up with idea that an unkillable big hunking boos, that kills you with one punch and runs at about 20 klks per second would be a good idea. im sorry, but it sucks, that is exactly what killed it for me with the game blasto. remember that game? anyone? that game was for the first PS and it was with this guy with an abnormally large chest going around shooting green aliens heads off. it was pretty good, until you came across tiny, who couldnt be killed and killed you instantly, it wasnt fun then and its not fun now.

also the envirnment get pretty borring, since there are no actual level structure, and its one loooong session you cant tell when its the next part, or area, partly because the area around you doesnt seem to change, you seen the trailer yet? with madworld in the background, great trailer but that little city street that the guy walks down is practically the entire game.

on the upside, it killed time, and it vagued entertaining, and you know what? the graphics were nice, so its not a bad little game, and hey the online could be good i havent tried it yet.
