Gears of War Comments by Martin Davies

Resistance has failed to interest me, even after seeing the videos of it, all I could think was... whats the word? Meh?

GOW just looks like a game I have to play, the haters fall into 2 camps, those who hate whats popular and Sony fanboys. All of their reasons given Ive seen can be answered with: "...and why would that mean the game is bad?" or they give reasons that would apply to every FPS in existance "its got guns and you shoot things, how boring". I find it all rather ridiculous but I care not, this could be THE 360 game that persuades me to get a 360 ASAP rather than wait for a good deal next year.

lol@Calgon

Irony? Hypocrisy? Both?

"And why would that perce be a bad thing? Or would you prefer yet another spiky hair transsexual clichéd standardised anime character type of game?"

Can't they BOTH be bad? They both seem to target 15 year olds, surely there's plenty between the two extremes? Movies don't seem to have any problems with it.

@ Lex_Luthor: its called opinion :/... and you talk of hypocracy? how many 360 threads have I seen you whining in? too many, why are you here? do you own a 360? If yes so what(Id quietly call bollocks if you said that or suggest you sell it btw)... you ARE a Sony fanboy.

Its quite simple, GOW has always seemed like killer app material to me(ie. good potential), Resistance has looked nothing more than being decent at best(ie. competant but nothing to get hyped up about). If Resistance turns out to be better than expected then power to them, its not as important to 360 owners(or those who are going to buy one like myself) as it obviously is to PS3 fanboys(theres not alot of games worth getting excited about for the PS3 that I can see personally, so the behaviour from them is understandable, especially when you remember many of them are around 15 or so). 360 has way more promising titles in the pipeline than PS3 does(thats why the people making the most noise are the PS3 fanboys... they cant stand those words "Im going to buy a 360 for this" or "I cant wait for this game it looks great"... they will continue to move from one high profile 360 game to the next in the same manner as always, its all so predictable!), GOWs main competition is on the very same console its being released on.

"the haters fall into 2 camps, those who hate whats popular and Sony fanboys"

Don't be a retard.

Calgon, yes, I do have a 360 as it goes, enjoying fine enough as well too.

Lex_Luthor: I find it baffling that you own an "Evil" MS branded machine(sell it quick then, Ken wont like that!), Id rather discuss the articles and games themselves than have to deal with all the Sony-Zombie/trolls in every thread, talking nonesense(wasnt me who brought up resistance, I gave my opinion on it and that was that, even though it had no place here) . Thats the main problem with EG too much trolling.

Most of it from you.

No you! :p

I'm amazed that no one asked one of the Quite Important Questions:

- Does Gears of War MP system Link work with at least 2 players per console??

I nearly threw CoD2 out the window after having frustratingly discovered that it's a one-player-per-console LAN game.

>"Hey BB u gotta be jealous but not of bill tho - that little boys are feasting their eyes on these "heroes" instead of u :)"

This would have been a burn if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not actually a bodybuilder (I'm a boxer).
So you just missed out.

Names can be confusing, eh Blair? :-)

Follow the link, click apply changes if necessary, and your away.

And a 9.6 on TeamXbox. Looks like the guys predicting a 6/10 for this are likely to be disappointed.

So them graphics aren't cgi then...real ingame visuals!Who needs Cell,
Blu-Ray and a £425 price tag?
It's gonna be a good Christmas for 360...see you next year Sony....or NOT!

Gears Of War is ONE of the best shooters out there but there are a few better than it.

My Top 5:
1.Halo 3
2.Metal Gear Solid
3.Call Of Duty: World At War
4.Gears Of War
5.Halo 2
