No (playing) Gears .. only news.

The weekend has come and gone and I didnt play any Gears of War...sadly. I was hoping to finish it in coop mode this weekend and then start all over again in single player.. but we just never got to it. I did do some other gaming this weekend though. In fact I started playing Halo again on the PC. With all the hype going on about Halo 3 these days I thought I could use a refresher course in what Halo is all about. My plan was to play Halo on the PC and then Halo 2 on the Xbox.. but now with Halo 2 also being released on the PC (Halo 2 Vista) I might just wait till next year and play it on the PC rather (I still dont like FPS's on the 360... prefer the mouse and keyboard.) Other than Halo I have also been playing Battlefield 2 and started playing Company of Heroes as well.

I downloaded Megadeth's Gears of War song ealier and I must say ... I like it. But then again I have always liked metal. For those of you interested, the song is available for free from Megadeth's website or using this link. Just go to the Nov 22nd link on the front page.

In some other Gears of War news...Microsoft accidentally admitted last week that Gears of War will be a trilogy when Jeff Bell from Microsoft said: "The goal of this ad is to establish Marcus Fenix as the hero of the Gears of War trilogy." Now that the cat's out of the bag Epic followed it up by saying: "If we can keep making quality games that fans obviously then why would we have to stop at three?" I think all Gears of War fans will agree.

I haven't really had any/much PS3 news on here but here's something interesting. The first rips of PS3 Blue Ray games have appeared on the net already. The first games to appear were Madden 07 and Resistance. It seems they manage to do this by running Linux on the PS3.
