Xboxliveaddicts’ reviewers look back on some of the best Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games of the decade with scores of 9 or above in this feature.
"The most disappointing thought about the whole Road to Ruin scene is the fact that they actually took it out. It really brings the Locust underworld together. Before seeing this highway in action, it’s easy to mistake the Hollow as a couple unconnected temples and the Nexus, without much in between."
"The much anticipated Downloadable Content (DLC) for Gears of War 2 is about to hit the XBOX 360 Marketplace. Gears of War 2: Dark Corners DLC offers gamers 19 multiplayer maps and a deleted scene chapter titled "Road to Ruin"."
"So here we are, with yet another piece of DLC for Gears of War 2. This time we get a lot. Included in this DLC pack is an additional single player scene, new maps and some new achievements. It’s a lot of quantity but how is the quality?"
"Ever since the Gears of War 2 teaser trailer was shown at E3 earlier this year, I had been patiently awaiting its release so that I could continue the fantastic game and story that was Gears of War. Add to that all of the hype that surrounded Gears of War 2 during the summer months and my expectations were set quite high."
"After finishing GOW2 last night I realized that as a whole, its essentially the same as the last game. The environments all feel like Gears, the weapons all function the same, and the characters all interact in the same way. That being said, I am fine with all of it. I wouldn't want EPIC to change anything, really. What I enjoyed about the first game was held over to the second; its a lot of fun to play in single player, and the fun factor ramps up exponentially from there when you add ext..."
"Gears of War is back. Theres new blood, old blood, bad blood, and true to form, lots and lots of blood blood. Fans of the original will be glad to know that not a lot has changed; ultimately this delivers a top-notch sequel experience, delivering more of what made the first game great in precisely the areas you want."
OXCGN writer Sith Lord Jim writes up his review on the most anticipated 360 game this year. SLip over to the site, read away and let us know your thoughts.
I have mixed feelings about the game myself, as do some others. It seems like "something"? is missing somewhere . . but you be the judge and let us know how you're finding the game. Plus don't forget to enter the Gears Of War Comp on site, over $500 worth of prizes are up for grabs.
"Ever since we were all blown away by Gears of War in 2006, weve been chomping at the bit to discover what happens next to Marcus Fenix and the rest of the Delta Squad crew. The small teaser at the tail end of the original game guaranteed that there was more Locust-smashing action headed our way, and this November 7th (exactly two years after the original release) well all be treated with the next installment from Epic Games. Weve played it, and the truth is Gears of War 2 manages to one-up..."
"Once again Epic shows its complete incompetence with narrative, and it only becomes such a problem in spite of trying to better themselves. Surely a far better developer of multiplayer experiences, the hand of design is revealed too often, squandering transparency. But its the succinctly focused essentials that will again become the stuff of memory, and well hear the grunts and cries of this ripped brethren for a long time time to come in the rich halls of the online space."
