Gears of War 2

Fall season is great: a little bit of rain, colder weather, and of course the holiday release of new games. The game I'm most excited for is Gears of War 2. The original Gears of War is one of my favorite games, and I can only imagine how this 2nd installment will be better. While the only letdown of the original was that the live play wasn't as good as expected, I hope Microsoft is able to fix it and make Gears of War 2 one of the best games for xbox 360, possibly even better then halo 3 (Hey it could happen).

New Dashboard for 360

Most of my gaming is with my 360, with an occasional hiatus to my pc to play some Wow. One of the new things coming out for the 360 was the announcement of a new dashboard. I'm intrigued to see how it works out, since it seems very similar to the wii dashboard. I had no complaints over the hold dashboard, but I guess Microsoft had nothing else to tweak so they decided to mess around with dashboard. Hm....I wonder how I should design my avatar.....

To Stick or Not to Stick?

To Stick or not to Stick? In between ranked slayer games in Halo 3, I am constantly looking back to my kill to death ratio from the previous match, checking to see whether or not my game skills have improved or not. If your ratio number is negative, you've died more then you killed. If your ratio number is positive, you know that you kicked ass and killed more people then died. For the past few months, my kill to death ratio has been in the red, and it was frustrating me. Then I learned about the sticky grenade, and realized how well it helps. By sticking an opponent with the grenade before you die, not only do you keep your kill to death ratio even, but you help your team win by killing opponents from the grave. Now if only I could learn to stop dying so fast.....
