Gears of War 2 thread

Yeah GOW 2 has seem to be a mixed bag on reviews. anyone else play multi-player? This would be my many reason for purchasing the game.

I've never been a big fan of GOW online, but the solo campaign is well worth it.

Thanks I think I will rent it. Mother in law is coming for the next two days, I will just lock myself in with GOW and knock it out.

Yeah definitely worth a rental. You can probably knock it out in 10 hours or less.

I beat the game yesterday, took me all of 8 days and I didn't even play it every day. Very short game but well worth it. I'll definitely play through it again.

I know there aren't many PS3 owners here but I got to give props to Resistance 2. It's disgusting how they made the environment that huge (http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/resistance2/video/6194216/resistance-2-gameplay-movie-4?hd=1&tag=videos;hd;15) and that busy. (http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/resistance2/video/6200694/resistance-2-gameplay-movie-12?hd=1)

In one in-game scene they have 20 humongous ships and hundreds of small ships wizzying by. It's insane.

I keep hearing awesome things about resistance 2. I may pick it up this week. Either that or the new COD for 360. Anyone play the new COD online? Is it nearly as cool as CoD4? I still play that game with some regularity. Has to be all time best online game.

The new COD is pretty good, pretty much the same game as COD4 but set in WWII, but honestly it's been tough to get used to the old weapons, I miss my M16.

Was anyone else kind of disapponted with this game? For all the hype I heard about it being bigger and better I found it to be almost exactly like the first game. That's not a bad thing, as I loved the first. But given that the then revolutionary gameplay isn't as much of a revelation the second time around I found it harder to overlook the weak story (seriously, that last level is just plain silly. Worst final boss of all time).

My XBOX is getting fixed now (third time in two months, morons) so I haven't gotten online yet, although I'm sure that's fun. But I don't know, I heard so much about how the scale of the game blows away the first one and, save for a few scenes, I found it to be pretty much the same game of tunnel hunting.

Now that I'm sure most of us have finished it what do you guys think?

Also, Dead Space or Fallout 3 for my next game?

I actually liked it better than the first one.

I just played the demo of Deep space and it seemed weak but has gotton great reviews.

I am leaning towards Fallout 3 never played any in the series but it seems like a game that will entertain for a long time.

I still have not played GOW 2 and from the sounds of it I am not missing much.
