Gears of War

This game is amazing. Plain and simple. In my opinion, it blows Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Halo 3 right out of the water. The possibilities in this game are endless. There are many different maps and weapons to use as well as options. For example, this game isn't like Halo 3, or any of the other shooters. You can't just run in and kill everyone yourself. You need your team to be with you if you want to survive. So there is an action part to this game as well as a strategic part. Whenever you play online, the goal is to kill the other team members. One of the main keys to this game is pinning the enemy down and flanking them. So teamwork is crucial to success. You also have to be smart. You have no aiming reticule when you are in the third person. So you have to guess or just know where your bullets will travel. Also, the sniper rifle is one of the best weapons to use, if you know how. You have to me smart to use this weapon because you are aiming for the enemies head. The enemies head is very small compared to the size of the rest of their bodies. Also, you have to trace the enemies movement well before you can take your shot. This is very hard because you don't know where they are going to go because you don't control them, obviously. This isn't your normal game because you have to be able to evaluate every situation that you are in and know exactly what to do and recognize this and react instantly. It's very difficult to get good at because I have been playing for a while and I am just barely getting the hang of the game.
