I have been pretty busy playing a few select games. I wish I could say Fallout and Fable are a part of the bunch but sadly they will have to wait. But I did give up on Dead Space and went into gears 2 which I found to be the "Bad Boys 2" of gaming.
Gears 2 is all about action, guns and chainsaws. If you get into playing this game and expect anything different than you are going to disappoint yourself. But, if you understand that this is a machismo fest going in you will thoroughly enjoy it. As much fun as I had playing horde mode, I dropped the game completely when Left 4 Dead released.
The funny thing about L4D is that it doesn't seem to have a story as far as I can tell. And you know what, I don't care. The game is about zombie killing action and does not even attempt to be anything more. Its fun, just pure fun. My hat goes off to Valve once more (after playing the contents of The Orange Box for the first time)and I'm looking forward to reprise my role as Gordan Freeman in their next departure.
