Video Game Review: Gears of War 2

Sold only for the Xbox 360, Gears of War 2 is a much-anticipated sequel. As a tactical action game, it's fast-paced and adrenaline-charged. It's predecessor, Gears of War, sold 4.7 million copies and and ranked among the most popular Xbox games in history.

The second installment picks up six months later and continues the epic battle between humanity and the Locust Horde that lives underground. While the game is full of action there's also a story there – it's not just about killing enemies.

The reluctant hero, Marcus Fenix, seems to really understand the emotions of loss, survival, and retribution. Couple that with more weapons, new characters, nastier enemies, and better locales, and there are more thrills and more emotionally and physically charged moments for any gamer who was a fan of the first Gears of War installment.

Hackers Hold the Key to PSP

Three teams of hackers, all working together, keep finding ways to unlock the real potential of the PSP (PlayStation Portable) video game system.

Those who are against piracy worry that these hackers are out to make money and do illegal things, but the teams insist that's not the case. Instead, they do it partially just to see if they can – it's their hobby – and also so that they can customize their own games.

A lot of PSP players would like to be able to change the music in a game or maybe customize one of their characters. With the PSP hacked, they are able to do that.

However, each time the hackers break in, PSP updates the firmware, meaning that the unlock 'code'
no longer works. Anyone buying a brand new PSP will have to wait until the hacker teams succeed again before they can adjust or copy their games.

Soul Caliber 4: Where’d the Trophies Go?

The new Soul Caliber 4 game doesn't support trophies in the PlayStation 3 version. There's an in-game achievement system, but it just tells you that you've unlocked whatever thing you've just achieved. Then you've got to go to the museum and look at the battle records to see your 'trophy.'

Between that and it's lack of support for any kind of custom, in-game music, it's got a lot of die-hard gaming fans upset.

Oh, and there's no rumble option for the DualShock 3 controller, either.

Whether you think rumble is great or whether you think it's 'last generation,' there are probably people who still want it and won't be getting it. Whether this results in any kind of loss of sales still remains to be seen.
