    One Of The Best Xbox 360 Games Ever Made

    All of us Xbox 360 owners have been wating since the 360 came out to play GOW. It was very much worth our wait to. The story here is a alien race invades earth typical for a sci-fi game. The game starts out slow. You are in prision for an untold reason and is "liberated" by your comrades. You start off by either picking traning. (which i recomnd your do) or go straight to battle. The enviroments are PRETTY..Best graphics ive seen so far on my 360. Gameplay is usually fast and tactical..Hiding and firing from cover our you can rush the enemy with your chainsaw attached to your gun. Sounds are amazing. Great voice overs done by actors. The game is 59.99 and 69.99 for collectors edition but the game is worth it. I recmond all 360 owners get this game. If you like Really fast paced games probley not for you but if you like a mindless killing from behind cover kind of game then this is perfect for you. There are some collision issues. SO if you can get past those there the game is amazing.

When in the heart of battle you are able to feel the breath of your opponent as he r...

      Good GoW, Y'All! 0

      It's my personal opinion that games just don't have the same magic as they used to.  It could be that we're breaching too close to reality with the looks, and realism effects and character models based on people we recognise might be taking things a little too far.  Many games, particularly shooters have become a little tired and predictable.  I'm very glad to say that I don't find this to be the case with Gears of War.  Made by the Unreal Tournament team, there was never a chance I wouldn't pla...
