Gears of War 2 is similar to halo 3 in one way; it's one of those landmark games that people will remember forever. It has very few things to complain about (but the things you can complain about, everybody does). The main thing I hear complained about is the lag. People new to the game find that Gears 2 has massive lag, but they haven't seen nothing until they've seen the lag in Gears 1. But actually, I rarely have lag. People who have played Gears of War 1 usually complain that Epic screwed up the shotgun. (I have Gears 1, and) I think they fixed it, because I was constantly watching my head come off because of stupid people who roll everywhere with their shotgun out.
On the good side, the new Gears has many new things to offer. Some of the new stuff in Gears 2 include Horde, stopping power, a new downing system, and many changes to weapons (damage, accuracy, etc). I'm not going to explain all this stuff because it would take forever, so go to their website or youtube for more info.
It's actually hard to explain why Gears of War is such a good game. Like I said at the top, I love "the feeling you get when you literally blow your enemies to pieces." I wish they added a few more chainsaw animations (like a beheading kind of thing). If that's too intense, you can always turn off the blood. Oh yeah, I forgot about the enemies. I LOVE what Epic has added to the enemy arsenal. In Gears 1, all you fought (for the most part) was drones, wretches, and a few boomers and theron guards; Nothing special. But in Gears 2, there's masses of new enemies; butchers, grinders, grenadiers, reavers, tickers, "cyclops", and some other things I can't remember the name of. I could go on for a while, but reading the whole thing would get boring.
In short, Gears of War 2 is DEFINITELY a game you should get. One problem is that it's so bloody, many parents don't allow it (I see where they're coming from). If you can get your hands on this, by all means, buy it. When I rated this game, and noticed that everything has 5 stars, I was like, "That can't be right." But it is; this game is five star quality. It is BY FAR a better game than Call of duty world at war (but it's competitive with COD4). I haven't played Halo 3 since I got this game, and mainly because people's heads don't come off in Halo.

What's great about it: The feeling you get when you literally blow your enemies to pieces, good story, etc.
What's not so great: online lag (sometimes), other things that could be fixed with patches
I would recommend this to a friend!

Continents erupt in flames and hails of gunfire as war breaks out on an unprecedented scale. This is World War II, where a massive conflict rages on two fronts: Europe and the South Pacific. Answer your nation's call and travel to distant lands where you'll take part in devastating battles that gripped a generation and laid the foundation for the world as we know it today. Do you have the courage, the cunning and the commitment to fulfill your duties and see the war through to its harrowing end?Prepare for global conflict presented in all its terrible grit and immediacy. In Call of Duty: World at War, you assume the role of a U.S. Marine or a Russian soldier in the waning days of the Second World War. Travel to the far reaches of the conflict, from war-plagued Berlin to the dense jungles of the Pacific theater, as you confront enemies who refuse to contemplate surrender or retreat and who fight all the more desperately ~ and more dangerously ~ knowing the end is near. Employ the weapons at your disposal, including a flamethrower and other new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, and fight to complete your mission as battles explode around you with all the terrible chaos of real war.

The multiplayer of this game is pretty cool, but if you've played COD4, you'll want to go back. The two worst things about this game by far are your AI teammates and the enemy grenade spam. I'm not kidding about either of these; it is the most annoying thing in any video game. The teammates are COMPLETELY useless. Okay, they do occasionally take out a guy, but I've had COUNTLESS times where I run up, then get shot by an enemy next to me or behind me; BUT the worst thing is that my teammate is standing RIGHT NEXT to the enemy, and doesn't do anything. Grenade spams in this game are like no other. You are prone (or crouched, doesn't matter) behind a box or trench, then one by one (or three by three,) grenades start POURING on top of you. If you're playing on veteran, you get shot if you try to run away; so you just start tappin' the right bumper as fast as you can, hoping to get every grenade out of your face. The enemies really don't care about your teammates (neither should you) and start chucking the grenades RIGHT at you (right is capitalized because they hit your face, then bounce to the ground because the enemies have such good arms) I decided to say i would reccomend this because, it still has good gameplay during multiplayer, but, i would reccomend it to them in the future, because this game is NOT worth $60. You don't feel immersed in the game; You feel like you're playing a video game (funny). If you want to hear about some bad stuff in multiplayer, there's a few topics. One of the good things is that they've fixed the spawning problems (MOST of the time) where you spawn next to an enemy a lot. But, i played an entire round with only two kills, because I couldn't find anybody. That's just boring, spending a whole round LOOKING for enemies, and not killing enemies. One of the worst aspects of CODWAW is the (multiplayer) tanks! they're so annoying! the bazooka is useless (it might be better if using the extra explosion damage perk, i dunno), because it takes about FIVE bazookas to kill one tank. Seriously. and you only spawn with two. So, in short, it might be a good game for christmas, but maybe next christmas when the price goes down. And you may think, "how could the mess up COD that bad? it cant be THAT bad." But it is that bad. If you don't have COD4, get it before you get this. You'll be happy you did.
What's great about it: graphics are fine, good rank system
What's not so great: Your teammates, enemy grenade spam

Is there a wireless keyboard that works with the x box360?
in a way, there's a keyboard that hooks into the bottom of the controller (you've probably seen it). It has a full keyboard like one on a computer, but it's about the size of an iphone turned on its side.
