    It would be awesome if they did an expansion for SP, but I'm sure they're just gonna hold back and wait until part II. Milk it for every penny.

    I could see playing through this entire game a few times though.

        Is he the guy that got killed by the big dude with the jagged sword? If so, I agree, one of the coolest videogame moments for me.

I might have finally found a shooter I'm willing to say is better then James Bond on the Nintendo 64.
              I just wish I had more time to play this game. The maps are fantastic and perfectly sized for 4 on 4, the action is INTENSE, and the playability is unequaled in any shooter that I have played. As for being compared to JB on the 64, aren't we being a bit nostalgic?

                Maybe. Bond was my favorite game ever.

                    Well, I just finished the game on casual. All I can say is Wow! That final boss was a B until I finally figured out how to kill him. Died 10 or 12 times until I finally figured it out. Cant wait to try hardcore and then insane. Probably gonna mess with the MP games for a while though. Good luck on everybody else trying to finish up! Great game Epic!

                      WOW! Is all I’m going to say about my experience playing Gears of War both SP, MP, and Co-Op. DXZeke and I both completed the single-player mode via co-op last night on Casual. I will say that this is one of the best, if not the best titles on the 360 and has the right to be right next to Halo as the leaders in pulling the 360 in tow as exclusive franchises. Don’t get me wrong here, GOW has its good and bad, and is nowhere near perfect. Like Extreme asked me after I made a comment with only being in ACT 2 of the game that I felt this game could be in my Top 10 all-time favorites, well now it is. I don’t know exactly where it would be in place, but it is a top 10 title for me.

                      The story is not fleshed out like I expected as were left with many questions throughout the game, but the cutscenes do a very good job progressing what we know about the invasion of the Locusts. Also we get orders during the game into our earpiece that help with our objectives and to a degree the dialogue gives us a bit into the story. EPIC did create one fantastic game for the 360, now Cliffy when can we expect GOW2.

                                I still don't understand the hype with Halo. Never got it. Never will.
