love is a many-splendored thing

In other news, experienced gamers are breezing through GoW in less than 12 hours. Demands for a sequel are already starting to come in. Come on, people, let Cliff “CliffyB” Bleszinski have his well-deserved vacation.

If you really are looking for something to do, you can play the game as Marcus Fenix’s hunky studmuffin friend. If you do that, you get this “Brokeback Sera” achievement:

  • I Can’t Quit You Dom (30 points) Complete all acts in co-op as Dominic Santiago on any difficulty.

And how’s the multiplayer so far? See, we told you it wasn’t your usual run-around-and-shoot (well, the noobs are still doing that, asides from going to jail for beating up kids). It’s really got plenty of the turning around corner and jumping for cover and strategy, doesn’t it? And you can try for these:

  • The Nuge (20 points) Kill 100 enemies in ranked matches with the Torque Bow.
  • Seriously (50 points) Kill 10,000 people in versus ranked match total.
