LOL @ the whole bu-bu-but let's take the 'two top franchises away strategy..
You can't take em' away because they exist..
Then Pirate Thom has to go to Wikipedia to find numbers for Gran Turismo to compare to Halo?
So now we have compare a staple franchise that was on a system that sold 100 million copies against Halo? LOL
Then you got P_Bomb having to resort to using alow budget multi-plat game like ...
Had a blast with Unreal Tournament since the very first one on PC up until the console days. I even own the series for my Dreamcast. The last one I bought for the 360 and THAT game got criminally overlooked. I had a blast on that hoverboard..especially on the bridge level.
But, it's clear the interest waned and the success of Gears shows the direction Epic wisely chose to go in.

LMAO @ Pirate Troll pretending Epic fits into the fantasy console war babble.
It's well known PS2s Killswitch hs been mentioned by Epic. But, it doesnt come close to pulling off what Gears did for the genre.
Naughty Dog clearly meant Gears when they made the quote, which means the direction was inspired by Gears.
Even Killzone had a Gears inspired Boomer in it, which came from Gears as well. At least, the developers have the integri...
Lmao @ the silly hate this game gets that people will say anything. Theyve supported the heck out of Black Opswith new content and your pretending that infinity ward should care about Treyarchs' Black Ops when MW3 is released a year later?
I salute Bowling and the team for work hard for their fans for 2 years to keep pushing the franchise as far as it can go. Especially after what they went though a couple of years ago.
Can't wait to play the final product......
Cliffy hit it on the nail as usual..
Uninformed gamers reviewing a genre that they hate is a straight up injustice. It hilarious how his comments got Destructoid and now Gamepro losing their minds and spinning the comment as negative as possible.
Doesn't matter..at the end of the day..Epic delivered.Gears is here and when those numbers come in Cliffy can enjoy the fact that the fans voted with their wallets..
Bmr
Lol...same here I stopped playing even before that..I got stuck on this one part and kept meaning to jump back into it..but my problem has always been that I buy too many games and forget to go back..which Is why I look forward to this collection more than ever
Shadow honestly is my most anticipated title this year for the PS3. That game literally blew my mind when it was released. I still remember the first time I saw the first collosus..I had goose run down my back..
To see it now in HD is honestly a great treat as the original reason I wanted a backwards compatible PS3 was for this game. Could never find that metal gear bundled one so I gave up. Then bought a Slim like a month or two after it dropped.
IMO God o...
Good Article..love Kinect Sports..look forward to Season 2..especially Darts and Golf

I have said it before, Gears will simply be a beast at retail. I predicted 3 million first week, but the pre-orders alone allude to the game topping even those loft numbers.
Simply can't wait to finally lose my life to this incredible series.
Life is good

@ Legion
Who wants te split screen experience and multiplayer has made a billion times more progress since we played a decade ago .
Just like the title says..this is EXACTLY what we wanted. Reach overhaul, Online co-op, Jetpacks on my face halo levels. And f-ing achievements to beat it on legendary..all priceless..and all for 40 dollars
Life is f-ing good

Lol @ me being the only one on N4G telling everyone that Microsoft will announce 720 at E3 next year. This was in the face of article after article saying that we don't need need new consoles.
I kept saying it then like I'm saying now..you have a few who are saying that new consoles are needed now..but by next year it will be overwhelming. You will see a WiiU next holiday and 720 the year after that

LOL @ Zero
You need more caps..ALOT!
Great game..love From Software..can't wait for Dark Souls

Panzsr Dragoon FTW...
Been waiting for this game since the announcement. Always thought it was coming in 2012. Child of Eden showed how these type of shooter experiences can be amazing..screenshots show how graphically it will be on par with that gem.
Evil
Go Gears...
It's great to come home and see all of the great reviews..
Been toooooo long of a wait for this one..this game is going to eat up my life..
Lol..until the Rage and Dark Souls double header

@ Styn..
That is until UC3 comes out..Naughty could pull of the highest game ever made..
It's a great year for gaming

The author tries..but is barking up the wrong tree.
Sure Micrsoft threw a big party in NYC to celebrate the launch of Gears. But, this isn't because they do this for every game to market and outsell the competition.
It's because Gear of War is a HUGE franchise for the 360 and arguably as important to the 360's success this gen as Halo.
In fact, Micrsoft has been throwing parties for years..that Gears party doesnt even come c...
