Hey man (none / 0)

This game is gonna be amazing! :)
But please don't post scans. We really need to support our gaming magazines because they need the support and work hard for exclusive content.
Recently Games For Windows Magazine was ended after years of dedicated service. It was one of the best magazines and in my opinion Jeff, Shawn and the whole team at GFW are some of the hardest workers in terms of their magazine.
Anyway, this game will pwn ;)

- I completely agree with Zoso. (none / 0)
  
  I wrote a similar sentiment about the scans of the Game Informer Gears 2 article that have been floating around the web. We need to support the print media of our beloved hobby. Otherwise, magazines will start closing up shop. It is very similar to software piracy. Someone eventually pays for it in the end. In this case, the hardworking editors, writers, & staff are handed pink slips because the profit margin is non-existent. Let's do our part by not contributing to the demise of the written word.

    and I must say its one of the better issues lately, though only one main preview. The other previews are good, including but not limited to: HAWX, Battlefield Bad Company, Starcraft 2, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Sonic: Dark Brotherhood Chronicles, and Mirrors Edge. Oh, and the Gears of War preview images are fantastic...can't wait for the Business and Media Summit 2008 before E3. Between this and Resident Evil 5, there are going to be some creaming gamers out there.

        Abe and Grymm are friends outside of Gearheads (like school and what-not), so I think he's just messing around.
        And Machete, did you play FNR3!? That game ABSOLUTELY deserves a 10/10. Getting a bunch of people in a room trading off after each fight was so fun, man those were good times. Graphics are still amazing.

        We'll see. But that is the one I am looking forward to. (Mind you, if they put FNR4 on the Euphoria engine, then it will be like a realistic Facebreaker.)
        UPDATE: I wanted to get some screenies to blow your socks off with, but I came across the official site and a trailer instead. And guess what? The dudes who made FNR3, are making Facebreaker! So, ...we are BOTH right! ha ha ha

        based on original gameplay, elite art design, introduction to a new series, and new standard for cinematics.
        The reason GEARS got a 10 was not just based on graphics. Read the reviews from OXM and other places. They explain themselves nicely.

        was broken and its single player lacked any real depth.
        That said, the game is frickin' fun. Does it deserve a 10 on the fun scale? Ya~Overall? No way....

        However, (none / 0)
        
        the advancements they made to the way people play co-op were extraordinary. As was the entire cover system, that no other developer has been able to do as well. In terms of gameplay, it absolutely deserved a 10, especially if Halo got it.

        imo (none / 0)
        
        Halo's multiplayer is still broken.
        And Halo 2's single player lacked more depth to me because at least with GOW it was an introduction to a new universe and series.
        And even at that, GAMES ARE ABOUT FUN. Why do you think BRAWL and Mario Sunshine get such high scores without crazy graphics, good online or anything? They are fun!

        How is Halo's multiplayer broken???
        I agree about Halo 2's single player but at the same time Halo 3's takes the campaign mode to a whole new level in terms of huge battles, on top of player with 3 friends.
