Gears of War 2 is awesome. That is all.

Hey folks,

I've been playing Army of Two for a week now and I like the game. The gunplay is really good and feels right... one of the most important aspect of a shooter for me is the aiming / hit detection and it's perfect in this game... and there's no moments like " WTF.... why I am not hitting him with my bullets??". The only thing is that I keep forgetting that the game has no bullet penetration like COD4. I keep shooting in walls hoping it will hit them, only to waste precious bullets hehe. I'm currently in the last section of the China mission... I'm waiting to hook up with my bud in order to advance, I've been redoing missions with random people online which helps me getting cash and unlocking achievements. I haven't tried the Versus mode yet but I'll try it out as soon as I finish the main campaign. The story is nothing special but the cut-scenes are really good and the dialogue is funny. Gamespot gave the game a 6.5 which I think it's kinda low. Sure the game is short but I've actually did a couple of missions a couple of times just for kicks. This game would deserve the 6.5 if you'd be stuck with the AI and there wouldn't be any COOP. The COOP makes the game 3X times more enjoyable. I've been playing with total strangers and I haven't had a annoying partner... yet hehe. I'd like to point out that I haven't actually purchased the game and it's only a rental. I can keep the game for 30 days and I'll probably keep the game as long as I can since my bud bought it. It is a really solid rental. I'll eventually reivew this game but as of now this game is a solid 8.5! I don't mind short games... I just rent them and when I'm done I simply return it. Anyway that's all for now.

Yo,

I got Army of Two for the 360 today. Wanna have an extra buddy to play with? Feel free to add me on XBL. You can link to my gamertag on my Gamespot profile. It's fbasque78

Cheers.

Sup folks,

In anticipation of getting Burnout Paradise, I'm building a collection of tunes to build a custom soundtrack. I heard the EA TRAX in the game sucks. Anyway I'm looking for fast tempo songs that encourages driving like a madmen. Any suggestions?

Here's what I have now :

Led Zep - Rock N Roll
The Clash - Safe European Home
THe Stooges - Your Pretty face is going to Hell

As you can tell by those tracks, I like 70's punk... A lot. I wanna add a couple of 90's grunge tunes as well. Anyway.. like I said before. Any Suggestions?

I got Forza 2 from the 360 holiday bundle and it think it's a great game even for us folks who are not big into driving games. I like trying out all sorts of cars and try to customize them so I can have the best car possible for a certain event restriction. The online portion is very well made and finding people to race with is a breeze. (Winning is another thing since I suck hehe). Anyway there's a huge gripe I have with this game... I NEED MORE TRACKS!!! There's a huge amount of events you need to complete in order to finish the career... that's all fine and dandy but I'm just over 60% of game completion and I'm already bored of being forced to race in the same tracks. Sure there's track variations but c'mon... oh well I'm gonna take a break and play a couple more games then come back to Forza 2. I really want to unlock all the achievements for the game.

Yesterday I downloaded a couple of Demos off from XBL and pretty much all of them were crap. Mainly Conflict: Denied Ops and Turning Point... ugh!! Crap!

At least DMC4 demo was awesome!! Gonna rent that someday!

I'm excited about this game! It looks like it has a decent sci-fi premise, a good twitch-based / hack-and-slash gameplay and the sweet leveling up / skill tree upgrades and loot gathering of an action RPG. This stuff is what I love. Plus... you can play it coop with friends. Scccccchweeeeet! Hopefully it's not gonna be the pile of crap that Kindom Under Fire is.

Xbox 360... it's been manufactured in Oct of 2007 so hopefully it will last and not die on me!

One of them lends you his xbox 360 for a couple of months! W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do takedowns in the Burnout series! Even if I finish last... as long as I sent a couple of suckers flying in the decor, it's considered a good race!
