Cog in the Machine

^{Gears of War: Wii Edition}
Since I've made the jump to HD with my XBOX 360, I suddenly felt overwhelmed with all the good games....that were shooters. There can be too much of a good thing.

So I took a break from them to play some happier, lighter games. A few months later, I'm reading about Gears of War 2, and feel my trigger finger itching.
But wait! I hadn't played the first one yet!

Now, you may not believe this, but I'm an avid videogame player. And like many things, I like playing games because I'm GOOD at them. Shooters, however, I'm not super great at.

I'm bad enough at shooters that I am the one who plays them mostly melee. Which you aren't really supposed to do in most. In any case, I picked up the first game. It looks amazing.

Now if I could only beat the first act.

Because of my pride, I refuse to play it on anything but hardcore. I'm getting better, but damnit, I've never spent so much time DYING.

Well, except when I'm without my games. Then I die every day on the inside.
