It's a pretty good game; I played for it for and hour or so on co-op mode with my cousin. You have to love the chainsaw bayonet...

Just beat Gears last night. That's it?

Seemed kind of short. But in those few short hours, it was nothing but (as Vance said) bloody goodness.

I hope the online experience keeps to the same quality.

The only GoW I have played, unfortunately, was over at a friends house, and I loved every second of it. All I did was play online and you won't be dissapointed Omnae. It is so much fun. All I can say is:

You're going to get wood immediately after your first chainsaw kill on another human being.

I have yet to try it online... though I will soon. Very soon. *rubs hands together*

And yes, it is quite short; so I hope they will learn from this and make the sequel longer.

The decent ones, anyway.

Save for some of the Final Fantasies... they were nicely crafted in story, character, and length.

Just finished playing Gears online for the last 3 days, while working around the family relations thing... and I have to say it kicked absolute ass.

To begin with I wasn't sure how well the duck-and-cover feature would work against played enemies, but I have to admit it works surprisingly well. In fact, it simply rocks, and it all (in the end) comes down to sheer skill and the ability to time your attacks accordingly.

One highlight was a double chainsaw kill, while being surrounded by two enemies. They were rushing around me, blasting with shotguns, yet I dodged and weaved, before promptly slicing both in two, one followed almost instantly by the other, which won the match.

...to which my team's voice feature was suddenly filled with cheers and "Oh my fucking God, did you see that?!"

Much fun.

Now, I am sad to announce, I am addicted, and have been left high and dry, as I left the broadband connection at home with my parents (as it was their's), who live 3 hours away... *sigh*

For those who *may* have been online at the time, I was running around with the Live Account Name: Noob7789

...Yes, I did this on purpose, heh. And I have to say it worked for me, as most assumed I was some little teenie fanboy who didn't know how to use the chainsaw bayonet. ;) (like most I fought who didn't remember it, suprisingly...)
