Gears of war 2

Advantages: Thrilling gameplay, action packed game and new additions
Disadvantages: none

...The gears of war is back baby! And with another big bang, bigger that the one it had created before.! The previous game, which was released in 2006, made a high success story for Epic games. But with Gears of war 2, the company promises a better gameplay, more storyline and more action packed scenes. The latest additions to this sequel is the storyline. The story has new 29 chapters which are spread along 5 acts to be completed. This time, the game takes the act through vast city like terrain which expands through deserted hospitals, vast alpine forests, in a dark condition, which gives the game a more kind of thrilling experience. There have been numerous additions to the game play, but these changes are not quite noticeable. One of the latest addition which i found quite interesting was that, when you are knocked down to the ground...

my gears of war 2 review

Advantages: great graphics, Fun
Disadvantages: Slow matchmaking

...Campaign I really enoyed the first campagin but as money reviewers stated it was quite short and the ending did annoy some. Thankfully the story is much better off this time round. The story follows macrus and dom on an emotional story to finish off the locust and find doms wife maria. Presentation As gears of war 1 looked so incredible many different reviewers questioned if gears of war 2 could look any better than the first. But since epics showing of the newly updated unreal engine peoples minds started to beleive and gladly they did. The graphics are incredible, bascially mindblowing. They have improved alot than the first gears of war, with added extras like new water effects you cant go wrong. Multiplayer The multiplayer is pretty much the same as the first but with some tweaks. Firstly the shotguns damgaed has been...

Gears Of War 2

Advantages: Fantastic Gameplay and Playability
Disadvantages: Not your typical 3rd person shooter (taking cover is required!)

...The heavy hitting "Gears Of War" was a giant step into the world of future gaming, it's mind blowing in-game graphics and fantastic gameplay gave birth to a game which was not only playable once..but endless! times."Gears Of War 2" packs a much larger punch.With a lot of hours placed into the making of GOW:2 to guarantee fans of the original be satisfied, they have managed to make a game which will not only test your skill but will force you to think up a cunning strategy..or a thousand.Computer A.I (in game characters) will react to your every move,which is good if your pinned down behind a blown up vehicle with constant fire and need a hand from a comrade.However this can also be reversed in the way that if you have a enemy locked down your iron sight...he is going to call in his "friends" to help get you out his path.Gears 2 is all...

Top Gears (ouch)

Advantages: Brainless shooter with incredible production values
Disadvantages: All the originality of a ham sandwich

...As much as I enjoyed the original Gears of War, it was kind of like an interactive Steven Segal film; juvenile, exaggerated, and preposterously macho. I half expected meat-headed hero Marcus Fenix to spring out during the closing credits dressed as a Red-Indian Chieftain and belt out YMCA with the rest of his earth-saving COG crew, completing this festival of homoerotic bonhomie. This was a shame as the plot, whilst hackneyed in principal, was competent enough to sustain a more thoughtful exposition than it received. The sci-fi tale of humanity under attack from horrific alien blah blah blah has been bludgeoned to a bloody pulp so many times over I'll spare you a full teeth-grindingly dull synopsis of this sequel, only to rather obviously mention that the subterranean Locust Horde are still up to no good; the malevolent murderous...

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...

Review of Top Gear

The Gears of War keep on turning

Advantages: Jaw dropping cinematics and gripping story with a wide variety of settings
Disadvantages: Creates more questions than answers about the story

..."Gears of War 2" is the sequel to one of the Xbox 360's best selling first person shooter, Gears of War released in 2006. Finally after much anticipation number two is out, but I'm still not quite sure if I like it. The Story Ermmm. I'm not actually quite sure but here's what I managed to grasp. The game takes place on the plant Sera, which was colonized by humans. Shortly after establishing themselves they discovered a liquid called Imulsion and as humans do best, they used every last bit they could get their filthy hands on to use as a very powerful fuel. After many wars between the nations of Sera the Coalition of Organised Governments (COG) was formed to bring peace. After this they then found another sentient race living within the planet. The locusts, a weird looking ugly race, with very "meaty" skin perfect...

Review of Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Gears of War 2 - basically just a few extra levels

Advantages: Great fun to play, high detail graphics, some good ideas
Disadvantages: Almost exactly like the first gears of war

...Gears of war 2, what's changed? Gears of war 2 is a third person, futuristic, blood thirsty, shoot 'em up. Featuring very high detailed graphics and great sound effects. The game starts with the lead characters Marcus and Dom from the original Gears of War. But this time you are joined by a new recruit, Carmine and a time served badass Tai. Just like the first Gears of War you again have the option to 'get straight into the fight' or start with a tutorial styled first level 'Show the trainee around'. After a quick reminder of how to use your weapons and controls, you jump straight into the fight. The story-line seems very similar to the first gears of war, I don't want to spoil it, but it seems the humans have been fighting for years. The enemy 'locusts' are back, they somehow survived the WMD from the end of the first gears...

Almost Makes You Want To Be A Gear

Advantages: Very replayable
Disadvantages: Killed too many times by that darn chainsaw

...I was scared to play the original Gears of War: I will admit it. I saw footage on YouTube; I heard about all the accolades and awards the game won. I also heard that the game was a "tactical shooter". In my mind the term means strategically tapping buttons and having hundreds of different functions at your disposal, with very little flexibility. I'm more of an Unreal Tournament person when it comes to shooters: aim liberally and fire loads, hoping I get a headshot or something. Well I took a chance and played the original Gears of War, and I'm proud to say that I was sold. So much so, that when Gears of War 2 came out not so long ago, I went out and bought it without question. I managed to get the last copy from Blockbuster Video for £34.99, before they hiked the price up to £39.99. Overview Really, I don't have much to...

Top Gear review

Advantages: Very fun to watch, great chemistry, informative
Disadvantages: None

...Top Gear is a multi award winning TV show about cars that is broadcast on BBC 2 while repeats are shown on Dave. It started in 1977 as a conventional motoring show but, since it's relaunch in 2002, a lot of comedy and quirkiness has been injected into the show. It is currently on its 12th series. The show is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig, who drives all the featured cars around the Top Gear track to see which posts the fastest time. Jeremy Clarkson is synonymous with this show, having been one of the reasons the old Top Gear peaked in the '90's. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled in 2001 but brought back after Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman pitched a new format to the BBC executives. During the first series Clarkson was joined by Richard Hammond and Jason Dawe, who was replaced by James May...

Gears of War

Advantages: Graphics
Disadvantages: Short Play Time

...Gears of War is short. I'll be perfectly honest with you on that front. It'll take you somewhere between ten to twelve hours to make it through the game on Casual, the easiest of the two diffculties available at the beginning. A third diffculty level is unlockable after completing the game. At £40, ten hours might seem like a waste, especially with the hype juggernaut backing it up. This is the Xbox 360 game to get for Christmas, according to the hype. The hype is true. One way to describe Gears of War is "focused." There is very little wasted space here. It is fairly linear, so you spend very little time running around looking for red keys to open blue doors. The main beneit to this linearity is that it gives the developers the ability to tightly control the pacing. If you aren't shooting Locusts full of ittybitty (or...
