As a fan of the series, I was excited to regroup with Marcus, Dom, and the rest of the remaining COG to finish the fight against the Locust and Lambent threats. Gears of War 2 left off with a last stand of sorts, where we witnessed the last human stronghold flooded in an effort to destroy the enemy. Gears of War 3 picks up two years later, and everything has continued to go to shit. The government has fallen, the COG essentially disbanded, the Lambent continue to infest the planet, while the remaining Locust struggle for survival above ground.

While it may not be perfect, it’s pretty damn good, and definitely satisfied my thirst for some retro Transformers action.

This is where I start raving about Killzone 2 and my readership that prefers Xbox 360 either turns their head or rolls their eyes. Let me be the first to say that up until about the beginning of February, I had the same immediate reaction to Killzone 2. After the reviews starting pouring in, most of which stayed above the 9/10 fold, I started paying closer attention and began to get excited about the game Sony’s been touting since long before the PlayStation 3 has even been in our hands. It seems the wait was …
