MS sure payed Gamespot, that's why G2 scored lower than the first and Fable got an 8.5 instead of a 9. :roll:

Imagine this:

What if GI thought that Gears 2 deserved a better score than Resistance 2?

:shock:

Gears 2 also happens to have a higher rating on GameRankings.com than Resistance 2 does.

Gears 2 is turning out to be a widely accepted "slightly better game".

What's the point of saying "Gears 1.5" when someone equally as boring could turn around and say "Resistance 1.5"?

Some people..

Woah there, you're contributing to the filth that ruins system wars. Gears 2 is not a "vastly superior" game. Both games are great. Please don't embarass fans of Gears.

I guess there is no way Gears could be better than Resistance:?
