After weeks of prep, we finally hosted our Xbox 360 Community Playdate with Gears of War 2 last night. While we officially played from 8-11pm ET, a bunch of us were on early and late to get in as many games as possible. I think overall, we played over 500 rounds during the official time frame. Matches were mixed over almost every map and every game mode.

We’re very pleased with how everything turned out, especially the reaction we got from all the cool gamers we played with out there. There really are some cool people on Xbox Live, you just have to sift through the assholes.

I’m hoping we can do this again sometime with Microsoft. To everyone we played with, thanks for making it a memorable experience. To those we couldn’t get to, we wish we could have played with you. We’ll play Gears of War 2 again soon with our weekly Game with Loot Ninja nights, so check back and get in on the action.

Again, we want to thank Microsoft for this opportunity! But most importantly, we want to thank you, our wonderful readers, for checking us out and playing with us!
