The thing about being too engaged in newly purchased game consoles such as the Playstation and Xbox consoles is that time flies when you are having fun. A game console aimed for all ages, people are too glued to their television playing their favorite games such as NBA Live, Tekken or even Gran Turismo that they end up lacking sleep from playing until the wee hours of the morning.

Such produces a hypnotic type of a trance for gamers that simply want to complete a level or stage in storylines that these games have to offer. The game developers are not to be blamed since it is really their job to make the game as addicting as possible.

Self-discipline among the people who endorse and play this game should be done internally. It is their duty to ensure that they know when to stop even if they don’t want to. Besides, they can pull-it out anytime they wish to, when they have nothing else to do in real life.

It has been a common tradition that game consoles would come to a point of having to engage in price drops since immediate demands of purchase for them would not be selling as forecasted. Part of this can be attributed to their outrageous prices such as that of the Playstation 3 and the Wii series. The cost for owning one is simply too much and waiting for some time for prices to be lowered has been an expected trend as can be seen from previous game console installments such as the PS2 and the Xbox offers.

People are simply waiting in line before the price drops hit the markets. The initial purchasers will always be there, largely composed of game addicts who go for distinction and allow their excitement to get the better of them. While these people may afford to burn the extra cash, price discounts are offered after some time since not resorting to such may leave them with a heap of game consoles that will just gather dust and eat up their inventory space.

Some game critics would call it another combat game where the star of the whole story plot would have to defeat all enemies present to get to the boss and advance to next levels but Gears of War offers something more in this Xbox offering. Packaged with upbeat soundtracks and high quality sound effects, it is truly some that will entice trigger happy gamers to check out.

Marcus Fenix, the star of the game is a former soldier who was been locked up for being accused of being a traitor in the opening storyline. He is freed from lockup to help a team called the Delta Squad to fend off the impending threat being carried out by the villains branded as Locusts. Their mission is to find the Alpha Squad but to be able to do so; they must effectively get past the spread Locusts through the various acts and levels of the game.

Finding out the weak points and being alert from the hiding villains in the game is the main ploy. With beefed up soldiers, it would take some time before Fenix and his troops would be killed. Unless of course they are sitting ducks and not careful of his surroundings, the game is a test of awareness, alertness and pinpoint accuracy to rule the threat that the Locusts have carried out.

To spice up the game, short film clips of the movie are inserted where players can somehow depict each of the scenes shown and somehow be able to analyze and get an idea of what the whole storyline is all about. Tricky as it may seem but some people can even get the gist of the movie based on factual trailers. It is these trailers which have been placed strategically for interactive purposes and to easily understand the main objective of goals to achieve per level during game play.

Most game enthusiasts would agree that games would usually follow the practice of movies in providing follow-up sequels such as Diablo, Warcraft and The SIMS. These games develop new installment packages for the fact that ones the original game has been completed, fans clamor for new twists and enhancements that would make the game more interesting.

Sequels are risks as well. Not all sequels are considered to be successful as expectations are taken to another level. It is entirely a new challenge and raising the bar towards the level set by people for the latest installment such as Warcraft 2 or 3, The SIMS 2 and Diablo 2, it cannot be avoided that they will be compared to the earlier version for review and comparison.

Such as been something to consider. While the area of graphics is something that is almost automatic, game play is also important. It should not be done in a way to which it covers only one side of a game developed, but the overall demands as solicited from avid gaming addicts the world has.
