So I saw the 4th Futurama movie. It was . . . okay. The song was great, movie itself was . . . okay. Guess the only Futurama movie I'll actually own is the third one. No matter; Futurama will never die!!!! Not if I have something to say about it.
I also rented a game recently: Gears of War 2.
My video store doesn't the the 1st GOW, so I skipped to the second one. It's a very good game. First of all, it's better than Halo 1 and 2. (All those rumors that GOW is the better Xbox-exclusive series? I think they're true.) Secondly, it is violent. Like, really violent. This is one of the bloodiest games I've ever played, and I've played my fair share of bloody games. If you've played this game, and chainsawed a foe, then you know what I'm talking about.
The graphics are great, the soundtrack is excellent, the sound design is phenomenal, the voice-acting is strong, (John DiMaggio plays your character! Awesome.) and the dialogue is well-written. There's a good number of swear words, an epic feel to the cutscenes, and even a little humor. All in all, GOW 2 is really awesome. Glad I got a 360! Ha! Eat it, Sony! My only real gripe is you can't save whenever you want. And the controller's joysticks will never be as precise as mouseaim. (Hence why I normally buy shooters for my PC.)
I can't speak for the multiplayer portion of GOW 2, but singleplayer is great. If you have a 360, play GOW 2. Just do it. You can thank me later.
