I saw this game on the E3 "08" live broadcast and it looks insane +chainsaw dueling.

Gears of War was enjoyable for me, but got a bit stale afterwards.

After watching some Gears of War 2 videos though, I am wow'ed. Tons of new weapons, a more epic scale singleplayer, improved multiplayer. I might pick it up, it's looking quite good so far. Miniguns and flamethrowers make everything better.

There is also a confirmed survival mode called horde where you basically have to hold off against increasingly difficult waves of locust. Goes up to 50 waves, 26 being Epics record.

Maybe when Gears of War 2 comes out the first one will go down to an acceptable price where the preowned Xbox 360 version is no longer £10 more expensive than the new pc version and I'll actually buy the bloody thing.

I second that...

I borrowed GoW from a friend back when it first came out, beat it, gave it back and never thought about buying it. Then like a few months ago I had some spare cash and thought I might pick it up and play it again for ol' times sake and here I find it still almost the price of a new title.

It's almost been 2 years now! I think they could afford to bump it down to about 30 bucks brand new and like...20 pre-owned. It's exactly like Halo, it's the 360s iconic superstar of a game....I recall I couldn't find Halo for 20 bucks brand new until like...4 or 5 years after its release.

I could care less about the new bells and whistles...the first's gameplay and action was fun anyway...I'd much rather like to see a coherent story that makes me give a damn
