Initial Impressions, Wiki and Contest Update
Well I’ve had my copy of Gears of War for about a day now, and it lives up to everything I expected so far. I haven’t even scratched the surface of the single player campaign yet, and love it so far. I’ve actually been addicted to the multiplayer game so far, getting used to the gameplay mechanics and getting owned on a regular basis. But after taking too many beatings, I’m going to take the advice of some fellow players and start to play the game on Hardcore because it’s the best training method available to those wanting to play multiplayer. So I’ll be skipping the Casual mode and going right to Hardcore. So far the Hardcore AI has kept me on my toes. Expect a full review once I wrap up with the game.
Over the next few days I’ll start to lay down the ground work for our Wiki strategy guide that I have mentioned before. Hopefully I can launch it sometime in the next few days, so the community can help it grow into the best resource online for Gears of War. We just want to get some of the structure in place before we let everyone into it to start contributing. So please check back if you are interested in helping out the community. We may also be giving away goodies to the best contributors over the next month, but that’ll be announced officially once it’s launched.
Also, I am going to sweeten the pot of the contest. Now the first place winner will receive a Gears of War: Collectors Edition instead of the standard edition of the game. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Collectors Edition and decided to give that away instead. So if you haven’t yet, go and sign up because there is still plenty of time left! As a tease, here is some sweet shots of the Collectors Edition box from Xboxygen.
