Gears of War

[Steelrat]

Multiplayer just keeps getting better and better. Sure, I suck, but I have fun. And even I have my moments, like chainsawing 3 guys in a row last match

Absolutely a great game. Once I perfect the controls (since they are a bit unusual for the normal FPS player) it'll be even better. Perfect maps, awesome graphics, great gameplay. Truly a killer app for the 360.

hell yeah it is. we went out and picked up my friends preordered copy (i don't own any consoles since the N64, i'm a PC gamer guy :]) and took it straight back to the house and played a good 3 hours right then. it's amazing. the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is totally innovative for a shooter, and god damn if it isn't fun. i really love them for putting co-op on the story mode because that's definately the most fun way to play through it. i've had a few spots make me jump, namely the little sections with the Behemoth thing that chases you around, haha. not to mention multiplayer is just awesome. nothing better than curbstomping your friends and not ACTUALLY busting off their jaws :P

Tons of people are complaining about not getting their pre-order, yet my brother walked right into Funcoland and picked up a copy without a problem

Does the behemoth thing look like a baby whale wearing a yamica?

I'm a PC gamer too, but I realized that my next rig was going to cost over $3000, and I only play one or two games. The value just wasn't there. So I bought a 360 and a few games. Gears is great, NFS is fun, and I'm looking forward to Star Trek legacy. PLUS, I was going to buy a HD DVD player, and you can get a 360 with the HD DVD add-on for only $100 more than an HD DVD player by itself.

What cames you playing lately on the ol' PC? I've really only been playing BF2 and BF2142, though my computer is so slow it makes playing BF2142 more like watching a slideshow.

I told you to get a 360 Steelie...

Really? I went into Best Buy in Brick wed. There was a Gears of War stand FULL of collectors edition and the regular edition.

[Thordic]

Apparently the delivery got screwed up to a bunch of stores and pre-orders were late. My brother knew a bunch of people who didn't get theirs.

I got it a couple of days ago and ive put a few hours in. Its a great game but im still trying to master the controls.

[Archangel Kid]

Ohhh, damn that sucks to be them.

You know, I'll probably never know. Single player bores me to death in most games, I'm all about multiplayer.

how long is the story mode?

how long is the story mode?

Lowest difficulty setting is supposed to take approximately 10 hours. There are two harder settings, one of which needs to be unlocked. There is also co-op play available.
