My only question, did Altimus run to Walmart last night to get a 360 or will he wait a few months

I bet he did. LOL!

See Extreme why I can't get rid of the 360, no matter how many times I have said that I should.

No. Pretty impressive but I'll just play this co-op at a friends or something.

Other than this I don't see anything else to bring me back. I think I'm finally done with the 360 this generation.

The video was as Epic stated, "Bad ***." I loved how you can use the Locust for cover. Really cool.

LMAO...I just don't get the whole "anti-360" clique we have here at OS.

Between this, Mass Effect, and Bio-Shock 2 next year, that's plenty of great reasons to have a 360.

But to each their own.

Maybe some come off like they are, but I don't think anybody is seriously anti-360. Some just have seem to hit the breaking point with the reliability of the system, coupled with some other factors I'm sure.

There's a good chance Mass Effect and BioShock could end up coming to the PS3 too. I think there's many more reasons to have a 360 than just these games, but it depends on your tastes.

It's about the same as the 360 lovefest we have going here, no? It was the same thing with the Xbox and PS2.

Anyway, that LOOKED SICK!!! This is the only reason I still have my 360. Everything looked phenomenal!

Owning a system just to play one game... and I thought it would have been the other way around when I bought The Show last year.

‘Gears of War 2′ Details And Teases From My Dinner With Microsoft

Tsunoda, recently of the EA Chicago studio behind the “Fight Night” series and last “Def Jam” fighting game, now works in Microsoft as the chief point of on contact with Cliff Bleszinski and the team making the 360-exclusive “Gears 2″ at Epic Games.

Gameplay improvements: what jumps out to Tsunoda in the new game are 1) the destructible cover that won’t let players take refuge behind any old crate and 2) levels that have about 100 characters and bosses engaged in large-scale battles. He said that the first game hinted at a larger war but never brought the player to it. This game will.

So what about the tech demo featuring a cube of meat that got chunks shot off of it, one bloody bit at a time? To answer, Tsunoda wound up pretending he was holding an enemy for cover, as a shield, and explained how that enemy might, let’s say, deteriorate under fire.

Tsunoda told me had played the first “Gears” a lot before taking his job at Microsoft Games Studios (he wouldn’t confess to playing the PC version, saying he’s a console gamer). He volunteered that the gameplay of the first installment could feel repetitive, an issue he says is addressed in the new title.

He said the “Gears” sequel will have a better online system. I asked about clans, and he wouldn’t use the word back at me, but said that parties of gamers would have an easier time sticking together from game to game.

Other “Gears” improvements promised over dinner include better voice acting and directing, the ability to tell characters apart by voice (Tsunoda thought the characters in the first game sounded too similar to each other). He also said gamers can expect a more satisfying story, one that won’t be compromised by content being clipped from the game as had happened with the first “Gears.”
