Gears of War 2 Review: Well Whaddaya Know?

It’s that time of year again. Gamers are among a slew of high quality games as the holiday season approaches.  We’re infected with sequelitis around this time of the year; which is no different than last year, and the game at the top of most 360 owners must play list is the sequel to 2006’s epic release, “Gears of War 2.” The first “Gears” game really put the Xbox 360 on the map, and cemented its reputation as the console of choice for action/shooter games, but can the sequel follow it up with the same intensity?

New Gears of War 2 footage

This is what you guys have been waiting for! New in-game footage for the upcoming sequel Gears Of War 2. This video is introduced by none other than Cliffy b. himself giving you a little synopsis on what you’re about to see. And from what’s shown, and what I’ve guessed, the game looks pretty much the same as the first. This is not necessarily a bad thing as the original still holds up as one of the best looking 360 games to date. from the vid you can see some new elements such as the chainsaw fights and now being able to grab the enemy and use them as shield. Also you get to fight those big ogre guys and there’s more enemies on screen at once ( which finally makes sense since they’re locust!). The game will drop this November exclusively on the xbox360 and looks to give fans the same experience as the first. I just hope they give us a real ending this time! check the video below.
