Gears of War

Last night I headed over to a mates place to play some xbox360 we recently got him for an engagement present. I thought it was just going to be some light hearted stuffing about, you know, trying some of his new games but generally just chatting and drinking. We started out the night playing some 3 player Halo 3 Deathmatch, Halo is really really boring, maybe the single player is something more exciting (I wouldn't know since I haven't played any of them) or maybe the killer part of the game is the online experience, but everything else about it feel a bit generic. Although the vechicle driving is fun (although nothing more exciting than doing the same thing in Unreal Tournament.)

Had a steak dinner next, which was tasty, then loaded up Gears of War, this game is a ton of fun playing Co-Op. I can't see why anyone would want to play it any other way. We playing through the first Act swapping in and out between the three of us when we died etc, then it was decided that we were going to finish the game in one sitting.

Big mistake.

This game goes forever, I thought doing Co-Op we'd breeze it in under a few hours, about 6 hours later we had finished about 2am, with myself having a massive headache and eye watering problems (We played it on a giant 50 something inch plasma, with the stereo up way too loud). Got home and collasped in bed.

Never thought i'd have a giant gaming session outside of the homies in Melbourne, guess I just did.
