Finished up Dead Space despite buying Gears 2 somehow. The ending of Dead Space was pretty epic, but the game as a whole wasn't very appealing to me. I can see how a lot of people like it a ton though. Very polished and shiny to boot. Hopefully I'll find the time to crank these reviews out. Which means I'll be keeping them shorter :D

Anyways, like everyone else is saying, Gears 2 is pretty much amazing. It's blowing my mind. Rocking the Horde mode and Co-op. Story is awesomely cinematic.  Just loving it all around. The new additions to the game are actually meaningful, and it manages to not just be a rehash of Gears 1. And no, unlike Jeff says, you don't have to have recently played the first game to appreciate the second's addons. It's apparent, to me at least.

Hoping to somehow acquire a Mirror's Edge rental when Tuesday rolls around, but we'll see how that goes...Dunno if I'll have time for it x.x
