Topic: The dominance of Gears of War

Gears of War launched on tuesday, I have been playing as much as possible since then. Since today is officially Emergence Day (I think its the day that all stores put it out for sale, only gaming stores had it first day). Just wanted to note some of the more awesome points.

Review rated M for Mature

Chainsaw on the bottom of the machine gun cuts people in half
Bow that fires arrows that explode on impact.
grenade tags let u run away as your opponent explodes
Running from cover to cover looks bad ass

If you haven't played the game, go to a friends house, or gamestop, or anywhere. JUST PLAY IT.

That sounds awesome. Do you have a link?

Its tough to actually understand whats going on in the site, but it gives you a feel for the game.

Ps. You need to be like 17 to get in the site, so i wont tell you to lie about your age

I've seen it, it looks really good but I think its a little to praised. Yes it is indeed great but its no match against Halo or DOOM original.

Come on Jesse Fett, the original Doom is an unfair basis for comparison.  Nothing can come close to it.
Sounds a little violent and gory to me.

I agree with Chrys that it sounds gory. A kid at my school has it and he is telling every1 about it, with every little detail about the blood and the guns and the chainsaws....etc. Actually, it does sound pretty fun.

I'll admit that I find it awesome when the blood splatters against the screen, but thats just me.

But seriously, the gameplay is all based around teamwork, it has online co-op, the run & cover system works amazingly well.

Only small problems with gameplay, but its to be expected, no game is perfect.

If you're not into gore, its seriously not that bad other than the chainsaw. Plus you can shut off the really bad stuff if u want to.

Bah no more talking, more playing.

Gears Of War sucks.

Socom es way better.

From what my friend tells me it sounds like a very interesting game, but alas, I am lacking the Xbox 360 to play it.  But there is the issue of when KOTOR 3 comes out...  If it is only for the 360 then I may have to consider buying one.

I have never played it, (so don't insult me, I don't really know what I am talking about) but I was wondering how it honestly compares against a game like F.E.A.R. I played that on my computer and loved it, one of the best games I have ever played.
