Gears of War 2

November 6, 2008 I wait in line for the midnight lunch of Gears of War 2. As soon the game hit my hand I rush to pay for it and speed through the streets to get home and play Gears 2. Once at home I turn on my Xbox on and planned to play to the break of dawn. As began to play the multiplayer I noticed something was wrong with the match making. One major flaw was the length it took to find players, for instance it took me once about 10 minutes to find other player who where "Players Choice". One major factor that really came to my attention was the power of the Lancer chainsaw, it is unstoppable, no matter with what weapon one shoots the player with the revved chainsaw and charging you one cannot shoot the other player to lower the revved chainsaw. Then I saw people just charging with their chainsaws get kills that they did not deserved. Another weapon that came to my attention is the shotgun, where's the power, it has lost all it's stopping power. A shotgun was made for close combat and able to stopping anything but in gears 2 the shotgun needs to be shot about 3 to 4 time to down someone. The fascinating thing about the shotgun is it does not stop a player from charging you with a revved chainsaw. What I do love is the grenades are the best thing they added to the game. They should change the name of smoke frags to flash grenades. Epic also need to add one more poison grenades to the only one a player can pick up. I hope in the next month or so epic fix some of these bugs.

Intro to my Xbox experience

I am one of those individuals who loves gaming but I love consoles. I had a Nintendo 64 when the first Playstation came out. Form that moment I dislike Sony and their Playstation 1 & 2. This is where Sony took over gaming world and my hope of getting great games of my Nintendo 64. Until Microsoft the savior of the gaming world came with their console Xbox. They brought me back to the gaming world with games that had plot and action like Fable, Halo and many others. The most important thing Xbox gave the gaming community was the birth of the online experience. With the online option one had an opportunity to play with friends and the world. Now with online gaming one's friends did not have to come over ones house or one go over a friends house to play but have the option to play with them from ones home and play with many others. Five years later Xbox evolve into next generation gaming, giving birth to the Xbox 360, which is giving games like Gears of War, Fable II, Bio Shock, Halo 3, and many others that have better in-depth plot, graphic, and much more. This is how I became an Xbox lover and one might say I am becoming a fanboy.
