i have never been this excited for a video game in my life. ive been hyped before, dont get me wrong, but this is different.

after reading the gears of war novels i really am excited for the story this time. i was never a big fan because it always seemed kinda cheesy and too much like an acton movie. but the books really get into the characters and all of their individual back stories which i love. you really get a feel of what theyve all been through and it makes all of the characters lovable in their own way, even prescott, i cant wait to find out how it all ends.

in terms of multiplayer, this to me is going to be the best ive ever played, i just know it, after the beta nothing else can satisfy me. things like bad company 2 that were previously my favourite have taken a backseat because im just not interested anymore. i was never the biggest fan of call of duty anyway but the beta really made me realise how terible games like black ops are. with the mixture of dedicated servers, awesome weapons, perfect hit detection and a much faster pace, this is really going to rock.

i just honestly cant wait. its going to be epic (no pun intended) and with horde 2.0 and beast mode, this game is going to last me a long time. which is good because im not going to be buying a whole lot from now on. MW3 isnt even on my radar, battlefield 3 is however, but i wanna try out the beta before i make any decisions.

there are a lot of games coming out this year and i think skyrim is the only other game im certain on, im sure my hype will be at a whole new level come november 11.

the last time i was anywhere near to being this excited, i think i was about to buy Star wars battlefront 2....
