I put a ton of time into thinking about GEARS 3... and what REALLY happened...

You want to know a very different point of view, on where the Gears of War saga will go... Let's re-cap with part two. Certain Locusts became crazily infected from living around the immulsion. The ones no longer affected were trying to seek their way out from the underground in plans to escape the immulsion effected Locusts. Now... this is my guess... Gears of War 3 will indeed be a prequel dating back to the events of E-Day. Which Gears 1 took place 14 years after E-Day. That is where you will learn that the Locusts main concern isn't to wage war upon the humans, but to evade their own infected species, which is why the Locusts intent was to sink Jacintoas they were tomove above ground to live with the humans. Now with Marcus' father, he knew of this plan as we already know him and the queen knew each other quite well... perhaps the queen sought after Marcus'father to discusstheir plans with a human, to see his initial reaction...and at the end... is why he is upset with Marcus, and the rest of the Gears for destroying the Locusts. Also, if you pay close attention to every single word the Locust queen says in both games, in the intros, as well as in game... the locust just wanted to come above ground... and the humans didn't take the time to find out why, they just waged war upon them... which is why the locust queen refers to them destroying themselves, because they are fighting a war that the COG had brought upon itself. So Gears 3 will be about E-day, and the locusts plans to sink jacinto, and destroy all the immulsion which would end both civil wars of humans vs humans, and the locust vs locust. But the COG simply see them as an unknown threat and wage war upon them like silly humans would lol.

Honestly, it all depends on what games you wish to play... what content you want to download... etc., with movies, and TV shows downloadable... a serious gamer, or serious pursuer of entertainment should get a hard drive. Now on either the 20GB (if still available), 60GB, or 120GB... is enough space... if you simply plan on only owning 5 or 6 games then i'd say go with the 20GB... I personally have approximately 52 retail games, and exactly 75 Xbox Live Arcade Games... and I download any and all content available for the games I own... I have a 120GB... and with all that... i still have 93GB available... which I feel there is nothing wrong with having the extra space... Better too much, than too little!

GT- ALIEN LOCUST

I don't know what games you do, or don't own. But I'll make some suggestions... you can pick up Condemned Criminal Origins for probably around $15-20, Rainbow Six Vegas for around $25-$30, the 1st installment of Ghost Recon which you can pick up for only $10 or less, Earth Defense Force 2017 for about $15-$20, PGR 3 for about $8-$10, Saints Row for around $15-$20. There are tons of good cheap games.... but u should've been more specific on what you do or don't own, and what kind of games you like if you're looking for any good suggestions!

Call of Duty 4 impressed the hell out of me when it first arrived. But now I find myself going back to games like RS: Vegas, Halo 3, Gears... and now waiting for Turok. I beat the campaign on Veteran, and really enjoyed COD4 for its single player. The multiplayers is fun, and I'm not saying its cheap, or noobish, or anything of the sort. It just gets a little boring after a while. When they release some new content via Marketplace... my tune will probably change!
