    No need for Gears of Wars 2, just do like Ghost recon and implement those new maps and stages and it will be worth booting up for some more action.....
    Look at it from Microsoft's point of view.

    They now have two exclusive games which sell units. You drop Halo and Gears every few years and earn some serious cash.

    Then when it is time for a new console you try to get either Halo or Gears, or even both as a launch title.

    Or you have one as the next console launch title and then have the other drop around the same time as a PS4.

      It's a hoax, on the Epic game forums they stated the site is fake and nothing is coming on 12/24. Sorry guys.

        I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: the videogame landscape is changing. As Sony loses big money exclusives (GTA, MGS to name 2), MS gains them (GOW, possibly RE to go along with Halo).

        I say this with no emotional investment in any of the big three. In fact, we need all three to be competitive to keep each other in check. But with Nintendo's re-emergence with the Wii and MS penetrating the market as deeply as they have in this new race, Sony is really in a tough spot. And they put themselves there.

        I wonder how many more people there are out there like me? I was ready to get a PS3 day one until I saw the price, availablilty and the fact that there isn't much to seperate it from the 360.

          What makes you think I never gave it a real chance?It's a good game but imo it was overhyped and I really hope when part 2 drops in '09 it's a much better game.Rainbow Six is more to my liking,but I will fire GOW back up when DL content arrives.

            We all obviously have different tastes and that's cool but GOW is the best game i have ever played imo. I just finished a 2 hour MP session with 7 guys i've never played with before and it was awesome. The game is simple enough for anyone to play yet still takes skill and practice to get really good. I love what they did with this game and can't wait for GOW2! Personally i found GOW better than Halo 2 (gasp!) which while being a great game in it's own right never captured my imagination like GOW has done....

              I'm almost done with Act 4 and there have been a few parts where I've questioned it myself. I've done the single player co-op with a friend and we've had a blast. I think we're going back thru on Casual after we finish Insane just to see how quick we can get thru it. I haven't touched College Hoops, Rainbow, or any other game really since Gears came out. Just an incredible game
