I’ve honestly never been a fan of Zero Punctuation or The Escapist. The first few episodes of ZP were slightly entertaining, but they have gotten terribly predictable and boring. Zero Punctuation is obviously meant to be funny, but it’s really starting to get old. What’s the point in bitching about every aspect of practically every game they review? Grand Theft Auto IV isn’t the greatest video game ever, but it’s certainly up there with some of the best. He mentions having to waste time driving people all over the city, which obviously means he has no clue about the taxi system. Why waste time driving people around when you can take a taxi and get anywhere in a couple seconds?
Now that you have all had time to check out the first Gears of War 2 gameplay video over the weekend, what do you think? Personally, I’m not all that impressed with what I saw. I was certainly expecting a step up in graphics and less choppy gameplay, but didn’t see anything in the video that showed me there were many improvements. It looks like pretty much the same game as the original Gears. It did look like the pistol was full-auto, which hopefully is an indication that they have improved or at least changed some of the weapons. To be honest with you, I was not a huge fan of the original game and felt like it was the most over-rated title of 2006. I’m not saying it was a bad game. I felt it was a good game, but did not deserve the overwhelming praise it received.
My reasoning behind my feelings for the original Gears primarily deal with the fact that the game at it’s core did not offer anything new in the genre. The game engine itself was impressive, but the gameplay was severely lacking in my opinion. I know that’s not the most popular opinion in the world, but it’s a legitimate concern expressed by myself and others. Fortunately, Gears 2 will be longer and more epic. They have tweaked the multiplayer elements, but I haven’t had the opportunity to see what changes have been made yet. Epic also added a chainsaw duel mode which should add some depth to the new title. From what I have seen so far, I expect Gears 2 to be a slightly better game, but perhaps not as great as some people expect. If you are a Gears fan, you’ll probably love it. I just hope they added enough to attract gamers that weren’t so hot on the original.
For several weeks, I have noticed that the #1 search terms leading to our site happen to be “Lara Croft Nude”, so I decided to go ahead and let that search string pay off this time.

… a couple of days so don’t worry! Well, it’s almost a month, but hey cut Bioware some slack. The game is almost finished part from final polish and some optimizations, and now it’s all about play testing and distributing issues that needs to get sorted out.
Being a huge fan of the game I am really excited to see it in super high resolution, and without any technical fuck-ups the 360 version was riddled with.
And being so excited actually means that we here at Kezins.com will have a complete run through of the PC version as soon as it gets out. What’s new, what’s been scratched, and how it feels wasd:ing a conversation wheel and biotic powers will be covered here at launch of the game. So stay tuned on June 6th, because I live in Sweden (sorry), and we’ll give you a personal and exciting impression of the game. We’ll be a couple of days late, but it bare with us, as we promise you an honest perspective on the game the big boys might not give you…
