1 edit | Might get an XBOX360 just for this game
You may have guessed it: GEARS OF WAR. It looks fucking AMA------ZING.
I'm not even going to TRY to describe this game, but I'll give you the goods instead so you can see for yourself:
IMAGES:
That's about half of the 30 screens over at Gamespot.
VIDEOS (all the videos you could possibly want to see, including high-res ones):
»www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.ph···&id=1650
This really looks too damn good to pass up. All this time I thought it was multi-platform.. and just now it hit me that this is an XBOX360 exclusive 
DAMN!
The videos do a much better job of showing what kind of quality we may expect from this game. The videos seem more polished than what you get to see from most games. It's pretty obvious that the production values on this are ridiculously high. The voice-acting, the direction, the art and design.. everything is top-notch. Dark, gritty, nasty, just the way I like it  . Watch the videos and you'll see what I mean. I just saw "quality" dripdripdrip from every frame of those vids..
You're damn right I'm hyped up about this one. Check out that media and try not to be yourself--(that is, unless this really isn't your type of game, ya poor bastard  ).

Assuming it's as good as people expect, I'll be playing this fall.
I wish the multiplayer had more than 8 players though( I think it's 8) - but depending on the maps that might be enough.

For a shooter with nice graphics, COD 3 looks like it might be good (also out this fall).

Yah I think COD3 and GOW will both very likely live up to their hype.

The logic doesn't make sense.. why won't I won't a PS3 anymore? I'm sure GOW is great, but that doesn't mean that's all there is out there, obviously
I can't wait for GOW but don't have an X360 yet. |

GoW isnt the only GREAT game on the 360. trust me once you get playing on the 360 and try out the library, you wont buy a PS3 after.

I have a 360 but i still plan on getting the wii and ps3. There are games thats not sold on specific systems.
Like MGS4 which looks awesome, and Assasins Creed for the ps3 and I am sure they will make a socom series for the PS3. It might be your personal opinion on the 360, but I would have to disagree 360 is the only system to get.

MGS4 looks like shit. low polygon models, washed textures. looks like a PC game from 5 years ago.

said by Julio :MGS4 looks like shit. low polygon models, washed textures. looks like a PC game from 5 years ago. WTF!? /methinks MGS4 looks fucking AMAZING. MGS games have always set standards in terms of consistently great looking GFX, no matter what platform they came out on. This is true starting all the way back with MGS1 for the PS1.
Anyway.. I can't miss Assassin's Creed for the PS3. That's my personal console-seller title for the PS3. Same goes for GOW and the 360. I can't say I'm interested in the Wii, really, but PS3 and X360? Fuck yeah.
Where to come up with the money for all that though? Especially when I plan on getting a new laptop this Spring? Daaaaaaaaaamn.
