Gears of War

[Laice07]

I just got a 360 about a week ago and this game is one of the reasons why. It looks absolutely amazing, and by all the previews I have read the gameplay will be great too. That also means I have another game to play with X-Box Live! The only bad thing is that my 360 is at home and I'll be in residence for 2 weeks, which means I'll have the game, but not the system since I pre-ordered the game and going to get at launch day. So who else is getting it?

[Mysterio2000X]

I'm going to hate that day. Gears of War, Call of Duty 3 and I THINK The Sopranos all come out November 7th.. and I'm still struggling to collect enough money for Double Agent, Saints Row, GRAW and Battle For Middle Earth II.

Fucking video games.

[Kaney]

Marvel UA, Scarface, Bully, Smackdown and of course Gears of War. I'm totally fucked.

The game looks awesome though.

[The LBTN Express]

Yeah it's going to be a crazy couple of weeks with Call Of Duty 3, Gears Of War, SvR, Tony Hawk's Project 8, Marvel Ultimate Alliance & Rainbow Six Vegas over the next month.

I'm more excited about Call Of Duty at the moment mainly because it's been my favourite series over the years and the game I've spent the most time on that didn't involve managing a football team.

The only game I won't be picking up on the day it comes out is Smackdown vs. Raw, I've got all the others pre-ordered. I can wait a couple of weeks until I've finished COD, RB6 and GoW. Plus I've still got Double Agent to complete and Pro Evo 6 to play the hell out of.

Also I wasn't going to pick up THP8 until I played the demo. It's made a huge leap forward and I was very impressed with it.

Anyone else getting the Limited Edition Gears Of War?

I'm definentley buying Call of Duty 3 also,even if its a bit later but as for Pro Evo, I'lll be waiting for the next one, which hopefully will feature at least a bearable X-Box Live! play and not so rushed game overall. And since my PS2 broke down(my 2nd Ps2 too), there's no point in getting it. Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 is another one I'll get....but I'll have to wait until I get some more cash. Rainbow Six Vegas looks aweseome too, and I rented Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its great fun. I wish I had more money

By the way, what does the limited edition if Gears of War include, and is it worth the extra $10?

By the way, what does the limited edition if Gears of War include, and is it worth the extra $10?

"This limited edition, highly collectible embossed metal box includes the following additional content:

* Destroyed Beauty, the Gears of War hardbound art book

* Bonus special features DVD, including:

* An inside look at the making of Gears of War

* The "Art of Gears of War" trailer

* Gears of War: The Race to E3"

I feel like I've been here before

So the answer is no, it's not.

[Maxx]

Right, so I'll ask who's excited for it, but also be a kind member and tell you to preorder it at a game specialty store, cause they get it on the 7th, and its released everywhere else a week later.

Just a heads up.

Hot diggity, seems like all the decent games come out at the same time. I've already got hold of/ordered PES6, SVR2007 and maybe M:UA. Then there's shedloads more coming out.

And I need to get a replacement copy of No Mercy for my N64.

[EddieRuckus]

Oi, it looks like I'll be having manwhich or something this week because Guitar Hero II and Gears of War are going to break the bank on Tuesday...

Do you think this game will be really hard? I think we are getting it and it looks awesome, but will it be one of those that confuses the hell out of me and I die a million times?

[ZJ Penn]

Yeah I know what you mean. One of those games where there's "too much" going on, so you just end up wandering about getting shot to pieces.

[The LBTN Express]

From what I've seen it doesn't look overly hard. It'll be one of those games that's relatively easy on the normal diffculty level but be very hard on the higher difficulties.

Plus it's more of a find cover and shoot type of game (think GRAW) than a run and gun. So you'll be moving from cover to cover rather than running about all over the place.

I think this shall quench my Halo 3 thirst until they make Halo 3.

[Mysterio2000X]

Does anybody know of any stores that are releasing it tomorrow?

I heard the release date was pushed back 'til the 12th or something, but stores would still be getting some tomorrow.

[Big Tuna]

Electronics Boutique and Gamestop should be selling it tomorrow. But you will likely have a lot of trouble picking it up without a pre-order.
