08 Nov 08 Gears of War 2, Server Tweakage
Yesterday I picked up copies of Gears of War 2 for my brother, his friend, and myself. This game is fantastic. All of the quirks and bugs that still linger in the first are absent from the sequel. The multiplayer is bigger, better, and one-hundred times more entertaining than the first. Horde mode is a blast to play with a group of friends, and the party matchmaking is something that Gears players have longed for since forever. The campaign is also way more intense and entertaining than I expected.
Unfortunately this game has caused me to put purchasing Resistance 2 on hold, and to neglect my friends on Warhammer, but it’s the one and only sacrifice I’m willing to make for a 360 title this year. Get it.
On a side note, I’ve done tons of server tweaks in order to boost performance a little. The result? A huge performance gain. Happy day.
26 May 08 Memorial Day
It was a nice Memorial Day. We had a block party on our cul-de-sac with all of our neighbors and friends, ate a lot of food, and just hung out. Joe came over for a bit and we finally finished off the last mission of “Army of Two” for the 360. Finally.
Army of Two is probably one of the least rewarding games that I’ve ever finished. It was cool for a few laughs, the gameplay wasn’t bad, but there were quite a few bugs. Not to mention we had to pull up a guide on occasion because there was simply no obvious direction to follow to complete an objective. It was worth the $20 I spent on it when it was released, though. Hurray for Best Buy reward zone coupons.
