This game should've been named game of the year.

I bought this game the day it came out and started playing it immediately. Epic Games has created another masterpiece and totally did not dissapoint one bit. Revamped with new weapons and enemies, the game is a thrill-packed ride the whole time. I loved the first Gears of War and I love Gears of War 2 even more. The story is well-paced and actually throws you a few emotion-evoking curveballs that I thought were going to ruin the games plot, but they fit in perfectly. From Dom's rollercoaster ride of emotion tyring to find his wife to Marcus' stiff defending of his father, you can't help but feel a little tug in your heart. The AI are way better than the first game i.e. they actually come to help you when you're down and even manage to kill a few enemies every now and then. The campaign co-op is essentially the same. Horde is absolutely amazing. There is nothing more challenging or fun then trying to fight through 50 waves of increasingly difficult enemies with four friends on Insane Difficulty. I'm still upset about it not being named game of the year. Can't wait for Gears of War 3. Go buy it right now!
What's great about it: New weapons, progressive story, way better AI support, and of course, Horde.
What's not so great: Except for some tiny glitches, absolutely nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ahhh.....what a dissapointment. For a game that comes from an awesome developer and has been in the works for years, Too Human falls extremely short. This is coming from a guy who loves RPGs. While it mixes things up with the non button-mashing combat system, which takes some getting used to, said combat is completely and utterly ruined by the camera. It's erratic and almost immpossible to hit the guy you're actually going for. The story does have a unique perspective and setting. And the characters look sweet. The combination of gun and sword makes for some interesting battles, and the custimization for them is awesome. For people who love loot-hunting and levelling, you'll like this game. But most will not find it worthwhile.
What's great about it: Custimization, weapons, storyline.
What's not so great: Combat, friendly AI are useless, camera.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well folks, Bethesda has done it again. Fallout 3 is hands down one of the best games of 2008, being knocked from the top by Gears of War 2 (in my opinion). In a long line of great games, Fallout 3 will be at the top with Oblivion, Mass Effect, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and many others as one of the legends. I mean, who can't like an open-world game where your every decision affects the gameplay? The weapons are somewhat unique for the most part. The main story is pretty short, but the amount and length of the sidequests more than make up for that. The graphics are amazing, with every color, the landscape, buildings, etc being richly detailed. Every second, minute, and hour I spent playing were not a waste at all. This game is a must have for everybody.
What's great about it: Weapons, story, and how your decisions affect gameplay.
What's not so great: Can be a little annoying having to walk everywhere.
