[Video]Zero Punctuation : Gears of War 2

Posted by Chris


The Escapist : Video Galleries : Zero Punctuation : Gears of War 2.

I know this is rather old But I just wanted to make note of one of my favorite reviews of any video game ever. Zero Punctuation continues to get funnier with every review. The review of Gears of War 2 is spot on though I wish that he ventured online or to multiplayer as that is the best part.

iPhone App Review: Galcon 10/10

Posted by Chris

So I've noticed iPhone reviewers generally only review games they like. Not surprising as there are so many crappy apps out there so to review them all would take forever and probably be really boring. Next time I'll review some less then amazing games and pack them all into one post just to be fair.

So on to Galcon. I have been playing this game for a while and still find it fast,  fun, and challenging. It is a Real time strategy game set of interplanetary warfare. It is similar to the game played at the end of "Ender's Game" if you've ever read that.  Think space risk but not turn based. It is very simple and  a lot o fun.

You start off controlling one planet which gives you so many resources (guys) a second. You  send your space ships out and have them take over other planets which will give you more guys. You want to take over as many planets as you can while trying to stop your opponent from doing the same and eventually wiping them out.  There are a few different versions of the game which ahve different rules but I rarely play them the Classic is challenging enough for me.

iPhone App Review: UniWar 8/10

A turn based strategy game about space marines and alien bugs. It is kind of like a mix between Starcraft and chess.  I haven't played the multiplayer yet or the online games but the single player campaign is a lot of fun.I haven't gotten bored of it after playing it for over a week and for that its worth my $3. the only down side I have is it can feel somewhat slow.  You can play through the tutorial with the free version and get a great feel for the game.

Gears of War 2 Party

Posted by Chris

2 TVs

Alexis, Micheal, Nate, and I beat level 50 of Horde in Gears of War 2 last night. We hooked up 2 XBoxs to 2  TVs and played for about 3 hours. So awesome!

It was so much fun. We need to do more LAN parties.

Next we're going to up the difficulty and try to beat it again.
