I'm not the biggest Gears fan but I would say its worth it for those games + Halo 3, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Dead Rising and all the other exlusives. I have a PS3 and love it buut I only plan on buying the exclusives for it, everything multiplat is for my 360.
Not even close. GoW isn't even worth it's own cost let alone warrant buying a 360. Gears of War is the type of game that you'll beat in one day, play the multiplayer for 2, and never touch again. It's just a mediocre game fueled by hyped and 9 year olds. Worth renting for the production values.
Geow was one of my main reasons for buying a 360....there where other games but Gears is the game that pushed me.Plus most people own multiple consoles nowdays....it minimizes fanboyism!!! lol
Ya those are 2 good games, but there are also others you should look into that are already out and are coming out. It would be like buying a PS3 only for MGS4 or the Wii for SSBB, there are other games on the console, only the 360 has better ones:P
no i wudnt buy it just for them but the 360 has so many other good exclusives to buy it 4 and multi platform i prefer 360 because it has superior online support even if it does cost

Agreed.
My PS3 is purely single player, unless its an exclusive.
No single game is worth buying a console. But yes, GeOW was/is arguably the biggest reason to own a 360 to date, along with several other superb titles like Halo 3, BioShock, Mass Effect, Forza 2, Ninja Gaiden 2...not to mention the sheer joy that LIVE is. Oh, and yes, I definitely believe that along with the aforementioned reasons and GeOW2 in Nov, having a 360 will be a blast. I also think Fable 2 will rock!

I think it's safe to say that you're speaking on behalf of yourself, not the thousands of people that play online everyday.

[QUOTE="trapper94"]I have been a Sony fan through and through, but looking at Gow and GoW2. Is it worth getting one just for those games and maybe Halo 3?DJCUEBALL
I'm in the same exact dilemma and don't know if I should get a 360 either.
Honestly, I would. I'm not excited about anything coming out for PS3 until the beggining of 09 besides Disgae. Not a huge Resistance fan, and as much as I like Socom, it looks really bad. I'm almost offended.
360 has a good amount of exclusives in GoW2, Fable 2, Too Human etc...end of 08 is looking really good for Xbox, and you'll have a PS3 for the crazy 09 year it's going to have.
When I first bought my Xbox 360, it was for two series, Halo and Project Gotham Racing. Then, I heard all this about a newcomer 1st party title, Gears of War. I can honestly say, this game is my favourite series thus far -- it simply has everything I can want (albeit with its imperfections).
What's the one reason I haven't sold my Xbox 360 (well, among others)? Gears of War. But, I say not to only buy an Xbox 360 for one game, buy it for everything it has to offer. Great games (both present and future), amazing online, and an affordable price.
If your gonna get a xbox 360 for just GoW and GoW 2 then noo but obviously your not. But yeah its a great game but its not worth getting an xbox 360 just for the gears games.
When I bought my xbox.It was for Gears and Rainbow Six Vegas.That was the christmas after they came out.But still there are many great games you can buy for the 360.You should definately pick up Gears but get some other games.I recommend Bioshock and Mass Effect

I played the single player a few times, 3 times with my brother, 1 time for each difficulty, and countless other times with my friends helping them. The multi-player kept me entertained for months, almost 2 years on and I still play it. Hardly mediocre. But I wouldn't say get a system for 2 games, check out some other games.
GoW is just one of the many great games that is out. I bought an Xbox because of this, all the other great shooters, more RPGs, better racing games, and EA sports games look better on an XBox 360.
Gears of War is not a good game to buy a 360 for alone, but by now there are so many great games out that you will definitly find something to like and there will be plenty of new games announced at E3 to get a 360 for later on this year
