@ Optyk
Considering this is a preview gor gears 2, and cliffy B has rarely spoken (other than a few quited lines), it's not even a worthy enough complaint. |

Not only do I not know a single person who has a modded xbox360, this is something that I've never even heard of since the PS1. I wouldn't ever get my xbox modded ""don't care what anyone says" You shouldn't. For every high-profile game you have the propotional amount of angry ppl bashing it (GTA; Halo; Gears 1). Fact." Well said sir |

Dear Games Publishers,
Please release some games in the summer. Thanks. P.S. "Did i read you protect broken derricks to make a change from a journey where you are "railroaded"? I utterly despise game design like this." Word, lazy as fook. |

Not heard of mods since the PS1? The original xbox was well known for being a rather easy to hack system, hence the advent of people using them as media centres (which no doubt was inspiration for the 360's and PS3's media abilities ... the ability of a machine to do games and be a media machine is fantastic to me). My mate thought the old xbox was a great investment, all those games for free? What value for money! I've heard my boss talk about modding his Wii, the PS2 was fiddly but moddable, the PSP is easy to break into, the DS requires the purchase of a card and memory card. The only machine which so far has not been hacked is the PS3.
When GTA4 was coming out, a week before launch I saw someone say "oohhp, GTA4 has just gone up" which meant it found its way through to some form of torrent site. |

I'll pick this up cheap next year in the lull. Just can't be arsed with it. I'll have Fable 2, Saint's Row 2, Rock Band 2... It's too much.

I've never understood these "#.5" comments... how exactly is a game supposed to earn a full +1 to its name then? Become a completely different game? Halo Racer? Gears of War RTS edition?
It's a sequel... of course it's going to be similar to the first you big idiots. To be honest I'm not that excited about GoW2. I didn't enjoy the first as much as most but I do have the sequel on preorder! :P |

MrED209: I am sure they are not alone though; so it's a bad excuse not to develop a PC version.
Personally I prefer to have a smaller selection of games that I've paid for -- too much choice and nothing gets played much. I will probably buy GoW2 when I buy a 360 as I liked the PC version of GoW, I'll also get Fable 2 and a few other titles too -- darn it, already got too many to play for the time I have available for gaming. |

Not sure about this - wasn't that enamoured with the first one to be honest, so not sure whether this'll be my cup of tea. Will keep an eye on it and see how it goes though...
On a side-note...how come anyone who says anything negative about this or the first game is automatically targetted on here by practically everyone else? Think this could the first series that seems universally loved around here...strange... |

I couldn't care less if someone dislikes I game I love, there's nowt wrong with a bit of constructive criticism, everyone has different tastes and all that.
Although typing things like '' GOW 1 SUX LOL, CUZ ITS GAY'', is just asking for a bit of backlash from the game's fans. |

Well fuck Epic and their shitty console games anyway. They aren't releasing this on the PC because people didn't buy the first one. That was nothing to do with piracy: people didn't buy it because it was a technically flawed, badly ported game that by its very shallow, immature, slow and clunky nature was never going to appeal to the PC gaming masses anyway.
If they'd make a proper PC game, like we all know they can, then people would buy it. |

Wow! What a cliched comment! I bet that you just sit waiting for threads like this to open up, so you can comment. In between scratching your arse and sniffing your fingers, no doubt... Give it a rest, you spong. I bet you're prohibited from owning a deep fat fryer in case you burn to death due to your innate fuckwittery. Yours, not used to being annoyed at fucktards, Blantyre. |

@amcd28: Such agression.
Maybe you should stop playing so many shooting games and play something else for a change? That way you may be able to calm down a bit. Dunno where you're gonna find another genre on that machine though.. but i'm sure there are some available if you look for them (try viva pinata or something equally childish) |

@ smelly
Well then. No agression. Just the truth. You troll for the sake of it. And that makes you the lowest common denominator. Here's something. I hate stupidity/baiting people for the sake of it and you undertake that on a regular basis. Haven't played a shooter for God knows how long. Actually playing KOTOR/KOTORII on 360. Also just back from playing Rayman with the wife. Shooting? No. Even I participate in casual gaming. And hang on a minute. Would you be referring to the console with more JRPG games and variety than PS3 as shooter only? |

Gears of Bore, more like.
How such a mediocre, dreary concept like this can have such iconic status in the gaming world is beyond me. The marketing wheel is now in full swing, sadly. Ergo: we'll be seeing Cliffy B's veneers for some time yet. Yawn. |

That last line coming from the biggest pro-Wii poster on this site is irony-tastic. |

L0CAL CELEBRITY: You play through a game on the easiest and most uninteresting difficulty and then complain that it's boring?
Absolutely, Xerx3s (or should I say weirdo stalker?) You seem to think more difficult = more fun, but that's pigshit frankly. Try doing the Mile High Club on COD4 on Veteran difficulty, you fucking lightweight. |
