I've now finished Gears of War and I have to say it was great. Smile

It's now left a hole Crying or Very sad

Nevermind, I hear they're going to make it at least a trilogy.

Oh well, on to Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Very Happy

i found Gears of war to be a tad short. I really enjoyed it though and i am currently now playing through on hardcore difficulty...eventually moving onto insane...its going to be frustrating =-/

Sadly Gears of War is typical in it's length for an FPS. The average FPS takes between 10-12 hours to complete.

Great game though Very Happy

I've yet to try the harder difficulty levels, I bet it's even better.

Tempted to try FEAR soon. Looks good Smile

what'll probably happen is that i'll keep playing it until i get bored of it and then it will sit on my shelf gathering dust like all the others!

I just dont get the FIFA games , they are unresponsive ulrealistic and the computer takes to doing what the hell he likes with your players ,only the myriad of stats gives it any positive points in my mind, give me pro Evolution any time.

Looking forward to playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance for XBox 360. Looks great. I get to play Spiderman & Wolverine Very Happy

If I were to get a football game I wouldn't know which one to get. Some say FIFA, some say Pro Evo. Confused

that is true of every edition between FIFA 02 and FIFA 07. These two are excellent in terms of gameplay and the latter adds some great features which take away some of the earlier demons from the computer players by giving you more abilities (holding off players, trapping, cushioning etc.) All good stuff.

No insult to Fifa but i dont really think of it as a really footy game, granted it may have improved but i find myself a little hacked off with EA in general , their games become more generic every season (for they come every season now) , only the ice hockey series bare any real fruit and even then they are becoming more banal and indistinguishable from the previous incarnation. Oh Burnout is good also.

Evo is about sheer playability, this was proved even early on in the series when they had no official statistics but still sold like hotcakes and played like a dream.

Not sure how fast hotcakes sell but im sure its pretty fast.
