If you own an XBOX 360 and you don’t own the greatest game ever created you need to move to France, you cheese eating surrender monkey!

The game I’m talking about is Gears of War. Holy crap is that a sweet, sweet game. You need to make sure you have a high def TV to really enjoy it in sweet, sweet 1080i.

It’s also one of the ultimate party games. With the advent of affordable LCD TV’s (my 37” is only about 60lbs) we can get several to a location and let the chainsawing, grenade sticking, torque bow, boomshotting commence! Sure, playing on XBOX Live is pretty easy and fun too, but there is something to be said about getting 6 of your buddies in a room, throw back some beers and down some chips and have a good ‘ole time. (Besides who wants to get pwned by some 12 year old kid online?)

Halo 2 is still pretty dang fun to play, and the upside of that is you can play 4 to a TV (Gears only allows 2 per TV) so you can get more dudes in the game.

So yeah, Gears rules. Video games just ain’t a bunch of anti-social dudes sitting alone in a dark basement. (Though I have done that too. Haha)
