Played Gears of War tonight on 360. Pretty cool
 

My only problem is that it can get kind of repetative in single player. I guess this is typical of shooters though. Not enough destruction possible. Needs to incorporate more strategy. Only other problem is that when you are running, you tend to get sucked into cover.

I wish I could habe played it online. I bet multiplayer would be sweet.

Tomorrow morning at 11PST Amazon is selling the core unit for $100 with a limit of 1000 units. Going to try to snag one.

what do you mean sucked into cover?

I played it two player with System-Link the last two nights. I have to say it's a pretty cool game. I don't know how one player is, but with two player, it has a lot of cooperative objectives..kind of wild.

As for 'pulled into cover'...this game has a one button cover feature that positions you against the corner of a wall, or ducked down under an object of some sort..and you pop up to shoot when you aim the gun. If you hold down 'A' button when you walk, it makes you when you walk..but it also pulls you into cover spots. I guess you have to play it to really understand.

Good game though.

Can you just buy a core unit and GoW and play? Or do you have to buy the 20Gb drive to load games on?
