First Gow Review!

It was moment that defied all logic as I struggled to come to terms with how the first moments of a videogame had entered my soul like no other before and left me tingling from head to toe. I literally took up position behind the cover of a car and sat there shaking my head in disbelief, frozen with awe, but occasionally brave enough to take a few pot-shots at an enemy on the far side of the map. As a person who’s been gaming for 18 years, I can honestly say that playing Gears of War is undoubtedly the highest I’ve ever felt. Forget drugs and alcohol, everything you need to get that adrenaline pumping is coming our way in November.

Our day at Epic is wrapping up, and I find myself slightly disappointed- not because Gears of War doesn't deliver on the hype, but because, from what I've played so far, it absolutely does. I don't want to leave here just yet. That time I need to get used to taking cover.... can't I work on that now? Like, today, while I'm still here? Can't I work on getting my Boom Shot route times down? Can't I just stand around, ogling the Mansion's graphics for a little longer? Alas, no. Bleszinski politely escorts all of us out the front door and waves goodbye. But as I walk across the parking lot, I look back and notice him smiling at us. Wait, is that a smirk? "Oh, he knows what he's doing," I slowly realize. Today, he teased us with a brief, tantalizing taste of Gears of War- and then he cuts us off, leaving us hanging and wanting more. Now, we're Gear-less until November....What a dick.


Check out this months EGM for all of it, its a good preview article.
