And yeah, scripted boring story. Chainsaw no fun at all, if you want gore and intensity try Manhunt 2.

I don´t think GOW2 will be any better at all. Probably worse and even shorter than the first.

lol. U sir are a liar! Why the hell would u beat the game in "every difficulty" if u found the controls "botchy" and didnt enjoy the game? What ur saying makes no sense...hooah!

I just picked up gears 2 on my lunch break. if you buy it from circuit city, it comes with a free $20.00 microsoft points card.
which I'll be using to finally buy Braid

I think it's just today and tomorrow.

Ah Braid... the best game released this year in my opinion. Iphone port?

[BATTLE BORN]

that would be sweet. I've just played the trial version but I'm looking forward to the full thing. I thought I'd wait as I had just been sucked into Bionic Commando, and Castle Crashers. then nearly forgot about it once I picked up the orange box and went on a portal/halflife binge... (just started episode 2).
between that, Dead Space, gears 2, and braid. I'm gonna have my hands full for a while....

speaking of portal...
has anybody tried the new downloadable challenge rooms?
I beat the first 14 or 18 levels or whatever, but then there's still a bunch of locked ones too. anybody know how to unlock them? I must need some sort of achievements or something...

I'm waiting to get orange box on sale. The price has never dropped, and its been out for a year. I really hope the Braid dev ports it to iphone. It's so simplistic, I think it would actually work. But yeah, back to Gears 2 - Meh

I got it for $30 brand new. you can probably find it used for even cheaper

no offence, but you think gears is too scripted but like cod4. I hate too scripted games, but loved gears. I was not a huge fan of cod online, but loved halo 3. I don't understand why some people hate halo. I can understand preferring each one for their own reasons, but neither are bad, I prefer Halo but have my, I think valid, reasons.

But onto gears, definetly I will love it, bots for multiplayer if icant contend with the nerds or crazy good people. Longer story, base defending mode. I also want lots of games in the near future:
Gow2, farcry2, fallout3, mirrors edge, endwar, cod5, halo wars, lotr conquest, and more

I didn't get into COD online either. Everybody is so damn good at it. and to me it seems like every time you raise your gun, half of the screen gets covered up, including your target.
I didn't get terribly into halo3 multiplayer, but I did find it a bit more enjoyable.
I didn't get into gears 1 multiplayer either, but it looks like they're bringing a lot to the table for number two.

I recently downloaded halo 1. can I play that online? I never had an original xbox, but I would play it with my friends a lot in high school so I'm pretty familiar with that multiplayer. (back when the pistol was worth a damn)

Yay for GOW2! Been playing since lunch and it's great so far.

I take your point about cod4 being scripted. - for that reason I haven't even finished its campaign. But the freedom of the multiplayer has made it my fave online game. Gears online, it's just kinda boring for me. Fallout 3, now that's a game
