GOW2 – First to Play Event

Jen Hochstedler — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:24:56 +0000

Well, last Friday afternoon Opal, Supa and myself trekked down to the Experience Music Project & Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle. We waited in line for 2.5 hours so that we could be the very first to play an unreleased multiplayer map from the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection. There was also a GOW creators panel that we accidentally missed BUT we got to play one of the maps.

It was a pretty cool set-up and luckily not too many people came so we got to play a lot.

You can’t tell but they are playing some Horde on one of the new maps.

We enjoyed the COG tags…made of real metal even. Thank you!

Opal Grrl recently joined NyX Grrls for some reason. Maybe she was bored or wanted some new people to make fun of. Whatever the reason she is here and we are stuck with her now. I was able to dish up some amazing scoop about Opal though.

So, what games have you been playing lately?

Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War 2

What got you into gaming originally?

My dad and I would play when I was little. We had an “Intellivision” console. Good luck finding one of those now a days!

What do you like to do in your free time?

Kill stuff! Not real things, of course…*ahem*

Well, on that topic…what is your all-time favorite weapon in a game?

Gravity Gun from Half Life 2

Opal's weapon of choice!

Be honest, what are the top 3 titles listed in your Netflix queue right now.

BSG, BSG, and…BSG (I kid you not!) lol

What is your junk food of choice?

Pizza!

Any cars that you just dream about?

1968 Fastback Mustang, Tesla Roadster, 2009 Dodge Viper (just to name a few!)

Favorite single player game?

Any of the Splinter Cell games.

So, what’s your favorite multiplayer game?

That would have to be GOW 2

Out of all the games you have played since those Intellivision days, what is your all-time favorite game?

I can’t say that I have one all time favorite, but the top 3 would have to be GOW 2, Bioshock, and Grand Theft Auto Vice City.
