Well I just completed Gears of War for the second time now. Both on Casual mode. I am thinking that I will need to have a real person with me when I run through it on hardcore and insane difficulty mode. I wanted to play with someone today, but no one was around. Can’t blame them, why sit inside infront of a screen on the weekend! Oh well, I managed. I did at one point break out my players guide from BradyGames. I knew I needed some advice on killing Raam. I think I played through that scenario 10 times and I finally killed him. At first I saw an exploding body, and though it was me, *grumble, grumble, I get to play through that again…* I was wrong though! Raam fell to the ground and I won! The ending movie is absolutely excellent, especially when the Locust goes off on his Brumak.
The reason I purchased an xBox360 was because of this game. I am glad I did because this is probably one of my all time favorite games, maybe it’s the amount of detail, maybe it’s the badass weapons in they game or how you can play co-op mode over xBox Live! I’ve completed the game once with a friend over live and once by myself. I must say, doing it by yourself isn’t nearly as fun as doing it with someone. Dom acts like an idiot half the time and is completely useless. He tends to get in the way more often then not.
Multi-player deathmatch is another reason why this game kicks ass. That and Epics already released a new map pack, both new maps are excellent. Something that I thought would be really would be to have even more people (4) in co-op mode. The more the merrier.
Well if anyone wants to play Gears online let me know! It’s a wonderful game and I can’t wait for Gears of War II!

I've already beaten the game once with someone on xBox Live! but I could play through game tons of times. How does chainsawing zombies into pieces and watching the blood spray everywhere get old?! It's so stress relieving!
I read on several places that there will be 2 more games to make a trilogy. Without giving too much of the game away, there's definitely a place for another game after this one. They ended the game that makes you WANT more!
Both Keith and I are highly impressed with Gears of War, and we're not the only ones, Gears of War is the most popular game on the 360 right now and it's getting very good reviews. Some thing that makes Gears of War and amazing game is the fact that you can play co-op mode over Live!
If anyone else has a 360 and plays Gears of War, I'd love to get some co-op going! My gamer tag is 'vtequine'. Even if you don't have Gears of War feel free to add me to your friends list!
