I'm super excited for the 3rd and final one.

haha yeah pretty much. To go off topic slightly: I enjoyed the story in the second one. I had no joy in the multiplayer. I still play the first one time to time. Second one they mess it up. I have high hopes they fix these issues in the third one.

The first Gears of War will be in my top 5 games for a long time to come. Also my favourite video game trailer ever.

I agree, that has to be one of the best trailers ever!

I don't really have a favorite book..I read too much..

My favorites this year are The Passage, The Road, The Strain trilogy..

I'm gonna have to recommend the audio book version over both the book and the movie.
The reading is outstanding. The movie couldn't capture the words.
You're going to find it a bit gloomy but seeded with crumbs of hope if you're willing to look..and think.

I'm guessing you've played both games, so there's no spoilers here.

The 1st book is all about Saren and Captain Anderson, You remember at the beginning of the first game right before you get on normany as a specter you talk to him about his past. Well this book is all about it.

The 2nd book takes place after ME1, the reference Shepard once, but that's it. and it's all about the girl in the first book, and kids being trained with biotics . And they reference the end of this book when you visit the migrant fleet in the game. which is cool. ALso you start to hear about the collectors.

The 3rd book is all about the illusive man, and you learn alot about him, not done with it yet, cause Im taking my time.

They are writen VERY well, I believe he actually wrote the story for the games too.

Worth reading, you'll love them.

Sweet. I'll have to order them then. Anything with the Illusive Man and I'm in!
