So with all the games coming out this holiday season, deciding which ones to purchase now, and which ones to wait 6 months till they drop below $30 was difficult. I already bought Fable 2 (just finished the main story line last night… a little disappointed) and what I was in need of was a multiplayer title as COD4, though still fun, is getting a little stale. That immediately ruled out Dead Space and Banjo-Kazooie (sue me, I want a platformer) and all that was left was COD:W@W, GoW2 and Left 4 Dead.

I played the COD beta and though it was somewhat enjoyable, I couldn’t justify spending $60 on yet another WWII game. Since I wasn’t a big fan of the original Gears multiplayer the decision was easy.

The demo has been a blast to play, even though it’s only about 20 minutes long, it never gets dull. Now, if all my friends come to the same conclusion I’ll be in good shape this holiday season.
