Does Mountain Dew Game Fuel Make You Better at Halo 3?

There has been a lot of promotion trying to raise hype for the ever-popular Halo 3, but one of the most popular items has been Mountain Dew's game fuel. This version of Mountain Dew offers you a citrus blast along with some well-needed caffeine to get you in the zone when playing Halo 3. Obviously, this was just a genius promotion from Mountain Dew, but does game fuel actually allow you to play Halo 3 any better than before?

Obviously any boost of caffeine will make you more alert and more at attention which is good because you need to be aware of your surroundings every second when in a game of Halo 3. You can't be running along in a daze and expecting someone to just come out in front of you. You need to be aware of snipers, rocket launchers and crazy folks on vehicles as well. Since Mountain Dew game fuel is giving you that added boost of caffeine, which will definitely play to your advantage. You don't necessarily need game fuel to get an added caffeine boost. Regular Mountain Dew and even energy drinks can even help you here but obviously soda will cost you less then an energy drink.

Many people say that Mountain Dew game fuel really does help them play better and this could be true but you also have other variables that come into play as well. I've had game fuel while playing and we totally dominated a team yet two rounds later we get run over. You could simply be playing a team that just isn't very good or you could be playing against the best. Personally I think that game fuel can add some perks but it's definitely nothing like the commercial makes it out to be. The caffeine is a nice bonus but you can find other forms of caffeine as well.

A lot of people say they really don't enjoy the taste of Mountain Dew game fuel but honestly I think it taste really good. It reminds of you of Mountain Dew of course but the added citrus makes it taste so much better. The amount of sugar in regular Mountain Dew alone is pretty high so your getting the same thing from Mountain Dew game fuel and then some plus some more caffeine too. I do not believe there is any form of diet Mountain Dew game fuel so if you want some added fuel for the gaming mind, your going to have to settle for the sugar and calories.

Bottom line, Mountain Dew game fuel does its job in giving you that caffeine boost but in terms of making you play better, I believe that completely depends on who your playing against and with. Some people live by game fuel and don't play Halo 3 without it, so bottom line is that it comes down to the individual. My opinion however, I saw it really don't have that big of effect but it sure makes for a good drink.
