Ah. Our beloved Gears.  The most played game in our household. The game that kept us up all night. The game that had my fiancee hooked on video games. So naturally, I did what any Gears fan would do, I went out and bought the  Gears Of War Life-Sized Lancer and pre ordered the game. Little did I know that the game we loved would turn out to be as worthless as a bucket of shit.

Here are the top 10 things that kept us screaming at the top of our lungs in disgust, lunging our controllers at our HDTVs in pure rage when tackling the beast known as Gears Of War 2.

10. No “Quit” option when playing multiplayer matches

Maybe someone at Epic should have realized that we still can go to dashboard whenever we please and ofcourse we have the glorious power button.  Matches usually go like this : 5 on 5, vote on game type, vote on map, 1 person doesnt like the results and leaves before hes penalized for quitting mid-match, this leaves a lopsided 4-5 game which is totally unwinnable by the less fortunate team. “No Quit” is like walking into McDonald’s, ordering the a triple heart attack with super sized fries and a  Diet Coke.

What you’re looking at is the time I’ve spent on Fallout 3. I The crazy thing is I still want more even though I reached the level cap 30 hours ago. This game is crazy sick, it will pull you in and won’t let go, not that you struggle either because it’s fucking incredible exploring a nuclear war-torn Washington D.C. in search of your father while dealing with what comes at you (and trust me, oh comes at you it does!) in such a  variety of ways. You can either A. help B. rob C. help-then rob D.blow-the-brains out of anyone/anything in this game! I havent felt this much freedom since GTA3(flamesuitON), which is why this its already my pick for Game Of The Year.

The boys over at Kombo.com have a link to 5 files you download and then burn onto CD in order to play the now region-locked Resident Evil 5 demo on the Xbox 360. I’ve already downloaded it and played it and let me just say it’s pretty awesome. Grab it quickly folks, I have a feeling the link wont last too long.

Just got home from work (yes..I have a real job!) to find out that the infamous NBA2K9 has been finally fucking patched!

Let me remind everyone why this is such a big deal….for the past 5-6 years(?) 2K Sports have made NBA2K THE basketball series of choice for anyone who calls themselves a videogame basketball fan. Ever since the Dreamcast I’ve been in love with the series, great graphics, awesome mix between sim/arcade and the best animations in any sports game PERIOD.

Enter NBA2K9, I rented it from Gamefly after waiting patiently for a year only to find out that the game was SUPER-GIMPED. No 2K camera option (a camera view made famous by the series), framerate issues, several game crushing bugs and worst of all the online part of the game (the meat and potatoes) blew dragon balls since you couldnt  connect to anyone 70% of the time.  Also 2K Sports decided in all their infinite wisdom that it was best to remove the option for players to set up ranked matches on their own and instead opted for a random opponent type of thing, this left countless players up in arms on their forums including me, I quickly returned it back to Gamefly because it was a waste of my time.

We wanted to introduce ourselves to you guys so you get a better feel for the 2 super cool dudes who make this all happen.

LOS:

What’s going on guys, Los here. Avid gamer for about 20 years and counting, starting way back with Commodore 64 to our current gen of PSWii60.  No fanboy traits here, just enjoy a good game regardless of the genre. Co-pilot of this Flying Fortress, hoping to give you REAL impressions and opinons that you may or may not agree with, but will at least find to be insightful.

MEAHT:

Ill start off by sayin my name is MEAHT (not my real name if you were wondering).  Been jammin out on consoles ever since that super advanced console some of you refer to as the “Atari 2600″, so its easy to say I’ve been doing this for a while now. I love FPS, RTS (on PC ofcourse!), sandbox games, sports games (go NBA2k!) but I’ll definately give any and every game a shot.  I always tell it like it is and don’t really have time to beat around the bush, I guess you can say I like to take it straight to the hole!
