Gears of War 2

There is nothing better than getting to delve deeper into a well known game franchise. This was the case with the highly acclaimed Gears of War 2. Gamers are brought back to the world of the Earth-like planet of Sera, and shows us the heroic actions of Delta Squad. The game takes place six months after Delta squad detonated a massive bomb that killed many of the vicious creatures known as the Locust. The Locust Queen has begun attacking the last remaining human city, known as Jacinto, and Delta Squad must lead on assault on the Locust home.
The gameplay has stayed true to the original game that gained a cult following, and yet they have added many new elements to enhance the fast paced action of the game. This includes one of the game's coolest new features, the chainsaw battle, where the gamer will engage his chainsaw and battle their foes until there is one winner. The multiplayer gameplay gives gamers a wide variety of different battle choices, including the ever popular Execution battle, where gamers have to get up close and personal to finish off their enemy, and Horde, where a single team will have to fight wave after wave of Locust armies.
The story is filled with nonstop action and heart-wrenching moments where key characters face ultimate doom and the members of Delta Squad must face much hardship. Gamers will be thrilled with the direction the game designers have taken the Gears of War series, and I give the game as a whole a 10/10, for it never looses pace and the action and story never stop getting better.

Gears of War

The latest game I was able to play this past week was Gears of War, the third-person shooter set on the planet Serra, where humans first evolved. After years of war between different factions on the planet for a valuable resource known as Imulsion, a horde of bloodthirsty creatures known as the Locusts have begun waging a terrible war with humanity, looking to slaughter every last human being on the planet. You play Marcus Fenix, a soldier for the COG, (The Coalition of Ordered Governments), who has been rescued from a maximum security prison to help the COG find a device known as the resonator, which would map the entire Locust hives and tunnels, which reside under the planet.
The game play is very consistent in its visual content and free flow. The shift between intense fight scenes and realistic cinematic scenes is stunning. As you play the game, you feel like you are watching a war movie for the first time. The mass amounts of weapons available is amazing, and even includes a rifle gun with a chainsaw attached to the end of it.
Overall, I give this game a 10 out of 10, for I could find no faults with it whatsoever. The story was massive, and the game play is so real you feel an adrenaline rush every second you are playing.

Legendary on Xbox 360

I have been reading a lot of reviews of the Xbox 360 game Legendary, and after having played the game, I have to say it is hard to believe it why people have found it to be so bad. The game is full of surprise, horror, and great storyline, not to mention a wide array of weapons and attacks that gamers have come to expect from the 1st-person shooter.
Legendary follows international thief Charles Deckard, who is hired by an organization known as the Black Order to steel an ancient artifact from the New York Museum. What Deckard is too late to realize, however, is that the artifact is Pandora's Box, and before he can stop it, he accidentally opens the box, releasing a hoard of hellish creatures that begin to attack the world. From there, the action is non-stop.
The gameplay is very fast paced, although the amount of time it takes for each level to load could use some refinement. Gamers will face a wide variety of legendary creatures, from an army of werewolves and Griffons to the legendary Krakken. The mass amount of history the developers have put into the history of each mythological creature is extraordinary, and the entire storyline is full of great plot twists and really helps the game flow.
I would have to give Legendary an 8.5 out of 10. It's story is quite detailed and impressive, and the vast array of enemies, both human and beast, is easily balanced by the great number of weapons and attacks you gain throughout the game. However, the only criticism I would have is amount of time it takes for a level to load, and would suggest for any future Legendary games shortening the amount of time it takes the gamer to get to the next level.
