Dude, this game is shaping up to be a monster. In every aspect.

I guess you could easily say Halo 3 and Gears are two totally different games. My thing here is this: Halo has been the "it" game for MS and Xbox owners.

I truly believe Gears will have a loyal following and the multi-player will be as heavily rotated as Halo 2.

Halo is a great game in itself, but Gears of War is brining a new franchise to Xbox (360) and it could be AS big as Halo or possibly bigger.

It's fresh. It's graphically sexy. Gameplay owns. The mood is gritty. I think the name "Gears of War" will be a name to be reckoned with years to come.

Sequals? You betcha. (Epic? )...but anyway, what do you guys think?

Gears of War is strolling through town and maybe Master Chief will have some hard competition from Marcus and crew.
