I wasn't a fan of the GoW at first. Then I got into it a little further and ended up loving it. It was even better playing in co-op mode. I'm very much looking forward to this one. Love the new chainsaw attacks.

Cannot wait. Halo 3 is my multiplayer game of choice, followed closely by GTA IV but Gears 2 may change that. The co-op in Gears was fantastic though. Here's hoping they bump up to 4 player co-op.

Bring it on!! And if Hollywood decides to put Gears on the big screen they have to get Batista to play Fenix!
