gears of war?

So...sorry about that hiatus, a certain game has caught me by the ears. If you've been following the game at all, this game is hot. Of course it looks great (refer to those commercials on MTV, etc.), the sound is tight, and it's cheaper than a PS3, but that's not what matters: this game is fun. As soon as I beat the game (which is not too long, but not too short), I immediately jumped into the harder difficulty. Very rarely do I play a game on a harder difficulty for any more reason than to piss myself off and pretend like I hate video games, but this is one of the few cases where it is superb as it gets more difficult (as is Guitar Hero, etc.). First half hour, I thought, well hey this game looks great and man is it gory (hide the children), but until you get the heralded cover system, it won't click. But when it clicks, and this is what most games lack, you want to master the game. Much like Halo, you perfect the movement and find yourself doing things with such slick movement you didn't even think you could accomplish in the game and the on screen character becomes an extension of your mind. Crazy sounding, yes, but man is it sweet. This one will most likely go the way of my copies of Halo; I play it so much it stops working and I have to buy a second copy and explain it to everyone who comes over. In the mean time, I played PS3 at Target! There were two demos: NBA Shit 07 and Motorstorm. Since the NBA game probably doesn't even work (and 2 people are disappointed), I played Motorstorm. The game looks great (even on those "TVs" Target has (read: toilet webcams) and the sounds pretty cool (good music), but I mean it's still a racing game. That is, until I pause the game and turn on the "Tilt Sensitivity". What this means now, is that steering is completely reliant on you tilting the controller in the direction and intensity that you would like to go at. Sounds ridiculous (oh and definitely makes you look ridiculous), but god is it fun. This run of the mill game is suddenly fun and I'm looking like a child playing with a bouncy ball in the pottery section. There's no doubt about it, maybe Sony had their tilt shite before Nintendo, maybe they ripped em off, either way, it works like a charm. I'm looking forward to the PS3 this summer when I buy it, because if I buy it now I will A) be mugged upon leaving the premises with the PS3 or B) will be forced to enjoy one of two games for 4-5 months until the new games come out (as with any system). Which brings me to the Wii, where my excitement has somewhat waned. Don't get me wrong, the controller's technology is awesome, but its not escaping the system launch syndrome where there are one or two cool games coming out and no more cool ones for months. Ah well, it will definitely be fun fishing on Zelda guaranteed, no matter how much the graphics suck compared to Gears. Over and out.
