What were you expecting? Its got the same engine and its on the same console. Graphically Gears 2 is going to a more polished version of gears 1, not some gigantic leap forward that some of you guys seem to think it should be.
Gears 1 looked great, and i'm sure gears 2 will as well. I'm more interested in how they tweaked the gameplay and whether they fixed the host advantage in the online.
I really don't get this kid. He's obviously a gamer since he posts here all the time, yet he never has anything good to say about any game, console or franchise. Just endless whining and complaining.
I agree, this is pretty terrible news for pes. While they were always lacking in the epl license department, the last couple games have at least had all the full kits from the spanish, dutch, italian and french leagues. Now it looks like only a handful of teams will be featured from the spanish and italian clubs.
After playing the fifa demo though, I'll be picking up pes again regardless. I just hope they fix the miserable online experience from pes 08. As for fifa, from the dem...
Well, props to the site for giving code veronica its due. It was one of the best dreamcast games ever made, and probably the third best in the series after 4 and 2.
I hope this isn't chris' blood.....
I spent about an hour with the beta today and after just that its obvious that lbp lives up to the hype. It doesn't even feel like a beta, I haven't run into a single bug or even a single instance of slowdown.
I had doubts about this game, but the hype is legit. The game looks great, it has a very simple design so they polished the hell out of it. It reminded me of the first time I saw mario 3, how simple yet gorgeous everything looked. The controls are smooth and responsive, ...
I'm stuck at work but got my beta key. How is it? Does the beta have a lot of content or is more of a shortened demo kind of thing?
Try using firefox, right click on the link and open multiple (like 10) tabs for each link you need, then keep refreshing each tab over and over. Worked for me.
Just got my beta key, took about half an hour of multiple firefox tabs open and constant refreshing. Just so you know there are still 2056 left, still plenty for those who haven't gotten theirs.
I've never played one of these direct snap cheesers before, but I've seen the tactic discussed in madden message boards. Its good to see ea finally taking a step this year to crack down on the glitch users and actually taking away their online wins. We need more of that for the disconnect glitchers and the nano blitz abusers too.

One of the many weeks cod4 has beaten halo.. numbers based on amount of unique users per week. What exactly is so complicated about that?
Forget martyrdom, he needed juggernaut
Bioshock would be my no. 1 too. This guy actually has assassin's creed rated in the top ten, and higher than bioshock. That alone makes me loose all respect for his opinion.
Cod4's online is just as popular. If halo 3 "dwarfs" the online community of all other console games, why is cod4 constantly beating it for the #1 spot on live. And the list is also titled the "best" 360 games, not the most popular. Halo 3 wouldn't even be in my top five. Top ten maybe.
Call me callous, but I laughed out loud when I saw the picture next to the headline.
It was a gutsy (and correct) move for them to reinvent the franchise like they have. The trailers look amazing. I hope its a success and starts a trend where devs don't just rehash old franchises with a new coat of pain and put them out as "next gen". DMC4 would be a perfect example of what to avoid.
Out of the five they list i'd go with soulja boy. Seeing him die over and over again in multiplayer deathmatches would be worth it alone.
I don't think theres a clear cut better option on the exclusives this winter.
Both consoles have great ones coming up. I'd say motostorm resistance 2 lbp and socom are about even with gears left 4 dead and fable 2. If anything I'd give a slight edge to the 360 if left 4 dead and gears 2 live up to the massive hype. But if socom ends up as good as last gen's, and resistance 2 takes the franchise to the next level the sony might have the better lineup. Either way its good to own b...

I'd put ok computer above kid a. Kid a is an amazing album and a worthy second best imo, but we'll agree to disagree on that one. And yea, they are the best band in the world without question
I'll believe it when I see it. Resistance 1 is a great game, which I still own and still play occasionally, but it did not hold a candle to gears 1 in the graphics dept. To even look better than gears 1 resistance 2 will have to have made a huge improvement over the first.
Other than uncharted, mgs4 and maybe bioshock, there still isn't a game out that looks better than gears 1, and thats 2 years after its release. Don't underestimate epic.
