That's funny coming from EA they've been regurgitating the same madden game for how many years now? Not too mention 2k sports games always strive for more innovation. I have gears of war! And man I had to look all over for the damn thing my Wal-Mart got it but sold it out in like 1 hour so when I called they said nope won't be getting anymore until next wedesday then my K-mart said next friday. So I had to drive all the way to a town called winnemucca which is an hour and a half away to get it... And believe me it was worth it! The game is simply breathtaking. And the Story may not be as wild as Halos. But the story really makes you hate the locust. It's War on the Game Not an RPG. So lets not sit here and trash the story considering most wars don't have just one story. But this one does and it's extremely fun! I recommend for sure!
