Gears of War

[Assface]

Anyone else play this yet? I don't play a lot of shooters but this one is pretty cool.

I saw a commercial for it, it looks great.

That song is from the Donnie Darko soundtrack IIRC

yup

that was a great ending to donnie darko, with that same song

That song is from the Donnie Darko soundtrack IIRC

It's called Mad World, it was by Tears for Fears in the early 80's but it's a remix because it's totally different. I have no clue who did the remix

 

[nathan]

The version in the commercial is by Michael Andrews who did the Donnie Darko score.

 

[HeavyB3]

Gary Jules does the remix. They played it a few times on Alt Nation on Sirius a couple years ago, it's not bad.

I think this is the one in the commerial.

Okay I got it sorted out. Michael Andrews is responsible for the Donnie Darko score. He's playing the piano in the song. Gary Jules is his friend and the singer.

 

[BACH]

Yup, that's it.

Simply an amazing game that lives up to the hype.

Amazing graphics that sets the bar for "next gen" games, great music and sound effects.

Also this game is genuinely INTENSE. Enemies popping out of nowhere (There will be several "Oh crap!" moments). Taking cover is very necessary and when you do it feels like you're in danger. There really isn't a "run and gun" aspect that you normally see in shooters. Of course some of the real fun is up close combat (I don't recommend doing this often) where you can use the chainsaw bayonet and watch enemies be sliced in half.

Only negative is that the game is short (roughly 7-9 hours long), there isn't much of a storyline and some of the character AI isn't all that great.

I'd give it a 9.4 out of 10. Not perfect but pretty damn close

Well, I don't like shooters, so 7-9 hours is just perfect for me.

I do like storylines and good AI, so that sucks.

I'll rent it at some point...especially if gametime is that short.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I just rented this for the 360...pretty sweet so far. I like the way you take cover and move from cover to cover...pretty sweet.

 

[BigRedRage]

fun but cant play ranked with friends anymore. Im playing nba street homecourt and paperboy!

 

[JS22]

I love this game, and have beaten it 4 times. (3 times with different friends via XBL and co-op.) However, versus mode online completely annoys the hell out of me. Either I suck hardcore, or everyone is a freaking Gears master. It's hard to get into the online mode when you're constantly dead!

 

[blindseyed]

Megadeth did a song for it.

[Covert Rain]

Simply the best FPS shooter since HALO. The game rocks.

 

[PortlandCardFan]

So I just got the game and slowing getting better at it. How many of you do online co-op? In a couple weeks I wouldn't mind trying the online stuff.

This is the most addicting online game I have ever played.I am on it every night . If any of you are playing on line and you want to play my tag is Grey Bone III.
