Top 5 games worth your money this fall (part 4)

Marcus and Dom are back and this time around they're taking the fight to the Locust. The second game in the series will be available on November 7th, 2008 and if you thought the original was action packed, the sequel looks like it will put its predecessor to shame. Sporting new weapons like the Boomshield, Ink Grenade, and the Mulcher, you've got many more ways to essentially tear your enemies apart piece by piece in this game. One of the many things that sets Gears of War apart from other shooter games is that Gears is just downright raw and gritty action, how many other games can you use the chainsaw attached to your lancer machine gun to saw an enemy into nothing but bloody chunks...and the best part is that it just never ever gets old! Gears of War 2 also sports chainsaw duels where two people meet with the chainsaw revved they will lock saws and whomever can press the B button the quickest watches his enemy suffer an amazing gory fate. Another feature of the second game is the ability to use your downed enemies as shields to protect you from fire which means even in death the Locust will serve you a purpose.

The story in the second Gears revolves around the Locust finding ways to make giant emergence holes that can destroy entire cities. The COGs in last resort are taking the fight to the Locust, by using large machines that can drill holes deep into the underground tunnels of the Locust network of caves. You can expect more depth about the characters backgrounds in this game. So this November, if you're looking for some fast paced downright brutal gaming, look to Gear of War 2...a title that is sure to deliver for all us action junkies.
