Official Gears of War Impressions Thread

Re: Official Gears of War Impressions Thread

2 days in and im still amazed at what this game can do, amazing.

10/10 in my book, havnt seen one flaw.

I hope I get to the point where I like it that much, but the jury's still out. Kind of annoying is the occassional inability to hear or be heard by your teammates when joining a game. Is there a "Deathmatch" type of game that gives team points per kill or does every game have a round scoring system?

Re: Official Gears of War Impressions Thread

how the heck do I chainsaw people? I try tapping B but it doesn't seem to work?

after activating the chainsaw by holding/pressing the B button, then you have to pull the right trigger.

I never press the Right Trigger. I just hold down the B button.

Same here, and the chainsaw kills are quite satisfying..

Isn't that sniper weapon a tad bit powerful?

Only if you can hit the active reload everytime. If you jam it once you're SOL.

Gears of War Limited Collector's Edition Review

http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/17...ion-Review/p1/


So, is the Gears of War Limited Collector's Edition worth the extra $10? Coming from someone who hates the idea of spending money on useless crap that'll just end up cluttering up my life, I'd have to say the answer is a definite "yes." You'll be getting a book that actually manages to improve the game experience in many ways (it explains everything from why Marcus was in jail to the Socialist roots of the Coalition of Ordered Governments to what "Jack" is), complete with some gorgeous concept art. The DVD is great, too, although it does get a bit repetitive if you watch the whole thing from beginning to end. If you want to have the ultimate Gears of War experience, this is definitely worth picking up (remember, supplies are limited... or are they?).

Cliffy B declares in an interview that "I think we've only scratched the surface of what we can do with the 360. There's far more potential down the road to do more stuff. As amazing as I think Gears is, I think we'll definitely push it much further"
