It goes without sayings that Gears of War 2 is a great game. Epic has taken Gears of War and improved every aspect that could have used some tweaking, added a whole pile of new enemies, weapons, game modes, and completely changed the landscape.

For some time now, I’ve been toying with the idea of ditching my “formal” game reviews for lower key, casual observations. Take this post where I discuss my thoughts on Dead Rising and Saints Row after spending some time with the demos of each game. Now compare it to each game’s review. Another good example of a casual, open-ended post is my take on Splinter Cell: Double Agent after playing the first few missions. I never did get around to reviewing that game.
