So, the new Annex Mode was released in Gears of War yesterday as a free update.

The basic objective is King of the Hill-ish, where one team captures and defends a specific area (Usually where a power weapon is located). A new feature in this mode is the respawn feature, meaning kills are aplenty in this mode.

But is Annex Mode really that good? ...Eh, it's okay. Some maps were made for this kinda thing (Escalation, Fuel Depot), but others (Gridlock, Raven Down) are too chaotic for my tastes. Plus, Annex doesn't count for achievements, so I don't think I'll be playing Ranked any time soon.

Yes, I admit, I do care about Achievements. Blame the completionist in me.
