Well, it's not a horror game, but it certainly pulls the "OH FUCK! Get the hell outta here!" in several moments. But, like the best games out there now, Gears is best experienced with a friend. Online co-op is the best creation ever put to the shooter genre. Nothing is better than listening to your buddy dying while frantically trying to stave off the oncoming enemies while retreating to defend him. That's pure intensity. Guess what Resistance doesn't have? Automatic voice chat. It's what Counter-Strike innovated many years ago and it's what XBL mandated from the beginning. Even most people in PSN don't have the most crucial tool in online gaming, the ability to speak. Sony, and their stubbornness on Bluetooth, fucked this in the ass. Just try to play three players with voice... It can't happen. Thank you Sony, thank you , Bluetooth! *edit: I'm only referencing the pure limitations of Bluetooth technology and if you want to argue that, go for it. It's a shitty technology for controllers coupling that with headsets is purely stupid. The last thing I want is a voice tech that burns out in two hours and I don't want tech that takes up another spot in my Bluetooth setup, especially one that requires its own remote to make shit work. Multimedia, my ass. Buy the trick, make it work. |
