In the last few weeks, I purchased (with trade-in credits) Final Fantasy XII, Gears of War, and Guitar Hero 2. I’ve been juggling my play between the three, but Gears of War got most of my attention. Gears is great. Nothing particularly innovative, but looks great and plays great. Online co-op is a blast. I finished it in about 3 nights, while short, it felt about right. Now I shift my attention to Guitar Hero 2 which has a great selection of songs, a lot of which I heard for the first time and became an instant fan. It’s awesome when a video game can introduce you to great music classics. The game is definitely an improvement over the first in terms of visuals and difficulty. Being able to pick it up anytime and riff a couple tunes, this will be a favorite of mine for a long time. I haven’t got too far into Final Fantasy XII. I like the story. I’m not sure if I like the gambit/battle system. I think it’ll grow on me, but time will tell.
