[AlchemistiD's Death Count: 032]
(I didn't count the first time with the pillar, since it didn't actually kill Marcus)
I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a rut playthrough wise since the end of Resident Evil 2, so to alleviate that, here's Gears Of War 2 for the 360! Is is just me, or am I doing a lot of sequels this year? Mega Man Legends 2, Resident Evil 2, Parasite Eve 2...well heeeeere's another to add to the list.
Gears Of War 2 is a textbook example, alongside others such as Mass Effect 2 and Homeworld 2, of how to properly make a sequel. Many of the weak points of the previous title have been addressed and improved, the better mechanics of the previous game have been left mostly intact, and the size and scope of the action and plot in GOW2 make the events of the first game seem like just a small skirmish.
Something that still bogs this game down would be the bad squadmate AI, which makes it's return from the original GOW, and is the reason I'm not making the mistake of playing this game on Hardcore like last time. Never again, Dom...NEVER AGAIN.
