i still play gears 1 on the occassion simply my favourite game on the 360 ever, absolutly loved it every little bit the graphix the gameplay, i was quite excited for gears 2 played it for a couple of weeks hated it the maps everything, the shotgun, the wall bouncing, the noobiness. i gave it a chance for a few more weeks after that but ended up trading it in for cod 5 which rips gears 2 eventhough it isnt that great. thanks epic for killing gears for me =)
