Quote:Definitely NOT a Halo killer. Halo was the "Diablo" for console gaming. Likewise for Halo 2.
But Gears of War does rule. Totally.:D
On a side note, the new Halo 3 trailer debuted on MNF (here to see it or it's available on the Xbox Live Marketplace) and it was killer. Halo 3 is going to make a bajillion dollars. At least.
I beat GoW and was very pleased overall. I thought that the boss fights were overly easy (although perhaps the 'Insane' difficulty will address that problem) but they were still fun - especially the Berserker sequences. I had the same issues with the story as Rhydd outlined as well. But, like I said, excellent work overall and I plan on playing it through a couple more times before trying out the multiplayer.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
