INSANE: Gears of War

Got mine. Just Fucking INSANE.

Theres people everywhere running around trying to get this. Pure Kaos.

CNN has even made reports where people are actually geting beat up. Hahaha,

quote:
Detroit, Michigan- A teen patron attempting to purchase a copy of Microsoft's eagerly awaited, "Gears of War" was assaulted while waiting in line at a local Gamestop Video Game store. The 15 year-old was beaten by a 36 year-old waiting in line, also. Apparently, an argument ensued after the cashier claimed there were no more copies available. The 36 year-old named "Deion" started yelling and tried to cut in line in an attempt to purchase the last copy and a brawl started. The older customer sent a barrage of fists and harsh language at the younger patron. The police were then called. "Deion" was arrested for aggravated assault and is currently awaiting arraignment at a local correctional facility. The 15 year-old was taken to a local hospital for several wounds to the head and neck. The final copy of the game is being held as evidence.

Trust me the game does actually live up to its hype by a long shot. Looks like microsoft $1 billion dollar investment did them well.

Good luck trying to get it.

The scores are in:

Game Informer: 9.5/10
Gamespot: 9.6/10
Yahoo! Games: 5/5
IGN: 9.4/10,
With the headline;
"One year in, the Xbox 360 has its Killer App. And we mean Killer."

There will be more reviews to follow,
but these are the initial & defining scores.

Gears of War is here,
and it delivers.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) - At 4:00PM ET: $28.95 Up 0.11 (0.38%)

Microsoft is gearing up for very big gains in the future, and this simple game proves it.

Unfortunately for Sony, the majority of the "killer apps" for PS3 will be available for 360 - Microsoft however is doing a great job of keeping it's exclusive titles just that; exclusive.

I was fortunate enough to get ahold of one of my m8's that I had worked with for 3 years at Software Etc. who now manages a Game Crazy 30 miles north of here. He happened to be running an extra shipment of copies down to the GC here in Point, so I did end up getting a copy today (The GC in Point didn't get enough in its initial shipment to fill reserves)! w00t!

Can't play it for a couple hours tho - Homework....

Hahha. Nicce got your copy.

I'm poorer than the average hobo so I can't even think about affording this title. Lucky for me, I got a bunch of local friends that have picked it up already. Too bad I don't even have time to play video games. School sucks.

Uhm. Soon enough, all decent games will be HD-DVD's, and the HD-DVD player will equal out the price of the 3shitty to the PS3.

The price of the PS3 is just due to the 405nm blu ray diode in it. Each diode, I could buy right now for $1,199 at the power of one of those little dollar store lasers, any higher and price goes up by a lot.

Xbox doesn't really have exclusives that I know of, except halo. Which takes the cock anyways.

They stole all the other games from Sony exclusives, like gates said when 3shitty was being released.

Give it some time, and the cell processor will easily kill the 3shitty.

Yeah i'm thinking Gran Turismo 4. Some of the new Final Fantasy Games epic RPG's etc. thats where sony kills it.

lol @ xbox haters...why don't you just play whatever you like and let others be? in other words, shut the fuck up about it.

Nice thought out opinion. Hahha.

Killzone and Gears of War shouldnt even mentioned in the same sentence.

I've personly played gears of war, and its nothing like any game that out there at the moment. Whole new experience...

This game is running on a Unreal 3 engine. Graphics are insane.

And yes, well all know graphics dont mean shit, unless there back up with good game play. And trust me when i say this.....

Gears of War makes any other next-gen game seem like a little school girl bitch in terms of game play and graphics. Go out your way and try to give it a quick play. Then come back and eat your words.

Btw.

GI Review 7.5 - Killzone

GI Review 9.5 - Gears of War
