GearWERKZ - the Other Half

On the verge of Spring, I am prepping to shift my flag. This, as far as I know, will be the final chapter of the nomadic phase of my life, which has lasted some 20 years. But I am still gaming. New place, new address, but the game remains the same. I knocked off Call of Duty 2 this past weekend, getting completely caught off guard when the credits started to roll. I had no idea that the map I was playing was the title's end-game. I guess that supports my feeling that the CoD series single-player campaigns devolve into bouts of complete chaos with no clear relation to the inter-chapter cut-scenes

At any rate, that means that I am up for a new game for my 360. I recently picked up Left for Dead 2 since I finally played through all of the primary content of Project Gotham Racing 3. On the short list are the following games:

1. Dante's Inferno
2. Tekken 6
3. Forza Motorsport 3
4. Halo 3 ODST

I'll hold off on presenting the watchlist for my April game purchases until I report out on which one of these I pick up. The plan for April is to pick up two more titles for my PS3. In the meantime, I am still trudging through the last few chapters of my first run-through of Borderlands, and I finally got around to popping in Need for Speed: Shift. I can already tell that it will be my new addiction.

The track record of this year's GameWatch Lists so far? I picked up Assassin's Creed II for the 360 (vice the PC version that I was originally tracking). I was tracking Bayonetta over the holidays and did wind up purchasing that title. I have elected to skip Dark Void (because it is not that good) and MAG (because it is not so great that it warrants stretching my pockets to buy it).

That's it for now from the GameWatch. Until next time...
