I always flip through the bargain bin at game retailers, just for this reason. There are many games that I know I'd like to play, and wont have time to get through them 100%.
For those games, I try and grab them used or in the sale-rack. That way I can add them to my library to play as it comes to me, or to give it a try.
Your opinion that Gears of War is average is refuted by the tall-pile of Game of the Year awards it recieved.
And, the way reviewers, gamers and the industry praised it.
You're entitled to your "opinion", but it seems like a lie frankly, because you're in a ridiculously tiny tiny minority.
I'd wager you're astroturfing on behalf of your precious.
Gears of War 2 will sell consoles because the press is going to be crazy about how terrific it is, and, 2008 will have hit after hit after hit.
That momentum will continue from 2007, build throughout the year, and Gears of War 2 will be finishing blow in time for xmass 2008.
We'll soon have more info on a dozen AAA games for 2008, Gears of War 2 is going to be an "all year" build-up, and will outsell every other Xmass '08 title.

B) You're comment belongs -->
C) Most importantly -- you are 100% dead wrong. The heat issues were solved on the elite via CPU/GPU changes, redesign and component shrink and elimination.
Please take your tired, stale lies somewhere else.
"The Big Issue: Has Gears 2 saved 2008 for MS?"
No. Because the Xbox 360 didnt need to be "saved" in 2008.
Even without Gears of War 2, there are a dozen AAA exclusives.
That said, Gears of War 2 will likely be on many Game of the Year lists, and will outsell just about everything (maybe not madden/GTA and other such super-mass games)
"first party indie devs are most likely going to develop their games for psn instead."
Why? XNA is a channel for smaller games, of the "indy scale" to earn income on Xbox 360, Zune and PC. Larger Xbox LIVE Arcade titles, will be priced relative to their production cost.
As the console install base increases, so does the over-all market. There is plenty of opportunity for everyone. Now that there are more than 18 Million Xbox 360s, and MAN...
The indie games *are* the very same producers who are making XNA games. One in-the-same.
With XNA, and publishing through the XNA Community, FINALLY those indies will have a way to earn royalties.
MS just gave the indy game developer an opportunity to do his work and earn a living.
You're way off base here. MS just created a channel of Direct-to-Gamers revenue system for Indy developers.
This is a disruptive business model for the ...
This should come as no surpise to anyone.
Kotaku is a rabid-anti-anything Microsoft site; a totally worthless blog, who is always trolling for traffic.
It should be banned from the site.
You're remembering all the way back to last week eh?
What is that I smell?
A lawsuit from Lego? Yeppers.
@1.1
What game can you play that have those features? Its not resistence. Nope. Not Uncharted. Nope again.
You're talking about things you've seen in demos.
Like always, Xbox 360 owners are *PLAYING* features that PS3 owners only see in marketing.
A great example is User Generated Content. Users are using The Forge in Halo 3 today -- where is your LBP? Oh, only in marketing.
The reality is that Xbox 360 is delive...
"its a updated unreal 3. engine and the engine has been pushed to the limits just by adding dynamic lighting,dynamic water and destructible environments,"
You dont make sense. Clearly, the engine is extensible, features that you list have been added. How could this mean there is a "limit"?
What are you talking about?
Leave it to the Playstation Editor to say the most ridiculous things:
"I wanted to see what would happen if Marcus cut the meat cube or the other jiggly blob-thing, although I imagine stuff like that probably isn't procedural and has to be pre-animated."
No. Not pre-animated. Not a chance. *THAT* is the point. The cubes were precedural, that is exactly what was being shown to you idiot. The character was interacting with the cubes in a natural way....

Toshiba Agrees to get out of HD-DVD.
Sony agrees to get out of Cell and give the business to Toshiba.
anyone who thinks this is Toshiba "backing PS3" is a moron.
Look at the uninformed moderators.
Xbox Originals do not have the limit, there is no DLC limit, just Xbox LIVE Arcade limit (and, we now know why don't we (the XBLA as the portable gaming library for the coming Zune Game (whatever they call it)).
It will be very interesting to see what MS & R* arranged for the marketing of the game. MS & R* may have more than just he exclusive GTAIV experience, but they may have an exclusive marketing arrangment.
So, R* and MS may work to market it together (I'm betting this is the case).
So, when they run commercials on TV, they might talk about the coming exclusive content, and they may add the Xbox 360 "tag" at the end as well... doing the mass-marke...
According to reviews, there are no games in that list that suck.
It is actually;
A) Games that were good, but didnt sell well.
and
B) Games that were good, and sold moderately well.
Go have a look at my comment below. There isnt a game that has an average of less than 70/100.
