Well, I continued playing Gears, and I was mildly impressed.
The action was smooth, the story line was entertaining, and the difficulty curve kept me engaged. So even with its gore, it is still a solid game.
The multiplayer however was less appealing.  The maps as beautiful as they are, feel cluttered and confined.
The amount of damage that characters can take is insane.  It took an entire clip to drop an opponent.  I know I was scoring head shots because they were dug in behind a car, and the only thing I could aim at was their head.

More surprises by way of video. This time, the revelations come from Call of Duty: World at War, an upcoming first-person shooter that’s again set in World War II. While the setting may induce a lot of groans, the game does offer some interesting features for multiplayer, just like its predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Surviving in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s online multiplayer isn’t just a matter of skill, or how quick you can pull the trigger. It’s all about being at the right place at the right time. To do that, one should be familiar with the maps. If you’re having trouble remembering things, then at least you should know the difference between a good hiding place and a deathtrap.

According to Infinity Ward director of communications Robert Bowling (aka Fourzerotwo), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s online multiplayer community is 10 million strong. This figure corresponds to the sum of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players. Unfortunately, Bowling made no mention of CoD4’s PC community and its contribution to the overall total.

How unlucky can one get? TimeShift, a sci-fi FPS, is a veritable ghost town when one tries to play online multiplayer over at PlayStation Network. Interestingly, I’ve had the same experience while playing The Darkness. That’s right, no one is around for anyone to play with.

If you’ve been browsing the Internet these past few days, then you may have chanced upon the new “multiplayer” video for Killzone 2, which was shown over at the Leipzig Games Convention. There has been talk regarding its authenticity, since it all sounds manufactured.
Here are top 10 reasons why the Killzone 2 multiplayer video is a fake:

More from 2008’s QuakeCon—this time, it’s the new Wolfenstein. What does those bright energy beams remind you of? If you say Ghostbusters, you deserve a lollipop. Wolfenstein seems a lot darker this time around, thanks to the new next-gen current-gen technology.

Remember the first video tutorial for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that I showed? Well, we have the second part right here. This time, the maps tackled are Bog and Bloc. I don’t think this batch is as good as the first one, but it still provides good insight on the levels nonetheless.

Yes, it’s a long tutorial video for Call of Duty 4, I know. But you know what? The tips enumerated here are very useful and easy to understand. Instead of merely reading walkthroughs and being in the mercy of a tipster’s writing capabilities, a video like the one embedded above gives you a good picture on what to do in certain situations that no Pulitzer-Prize-winning author can improve on.
