The Graphyte

Finally the much anticipated sequel to Gears of War has finally been released and its an epic design for design team epic games. The game is easily the best looking project to hit the xbox 360 console, gameplay and mechanics have been polished and the game looks simply amazing on an HD TV. You just cant help playing the game and finding moments were you have to stop and look at the rain shimmering down a window pane or the nasty pulsing veins of the internal organs of a titanic rock worm that you have to fight your way out of. The game looks good and most importantly does not go heavy on the cheese.

The story is a good one, but not the most original, and what gives it a spicy kick is the cast of characters. Cole Train being the comic relief in the game and also a source for being a little extra and exploiting the multiple ways of killing the locust. The game has a great combination of tactical fighting as well as run and gun, simultaneously providing a great range of weaponry. All in all the game is a great look at how far console gaming has come and has definitely set the bar high for what is expected of games to come.
