Hi guys. I just found out (on the UK Official Xbox 360 site available here) that the highly anticipated Xbox 360 first person shoot, Gears of War, will probably be released on the PS3’s launch date! This is a really cool move on MS’ part because the level of hype surrounding this game is massive. It focuses on the last pockets of humanity who have to hold out and defeat a massive alien threat known as the Locust Horde. The game is simply stunning, and the level of interest surrounding it is huge. The game looks like an action lover’s dream and the graphics and score will be amazing. in fact, it could be as ground shaking as Halo:Combat Evolved. I remember seeing it last E3 (a massive video game expo that’s held every May in LA) and being blown away. The environments are amazing and the use of darkness is excellent. You see the Locusts are at their most deadly at night. If you love action games, or first person shooters then you should definitely check it out. On another note the highly popular, and totally wicked, TV show LOST will soon have its very own game! Yep you read that right. You can find the really interesting read here. To say that it has the potential to be mind blowing is an understatement. Ok guys this concludes my first videogame post.
