For any of you that own an Xbox 360, I have to say that Gears of War is definitely worth buying. I was unsure at first about it bieng third person (I really didnt like Advance Warfighter) but this game is pretty much one of the best games I've ever played, and that title doesnt come easy.
After getting it 8 hours ago and 7 hours straight of gaming, I am visibly shaking yet I still havent beaten the game. It is such an intense game with just the right amount of "bosses" and ambushes. If I had one game to suggest buying, it would be Gears of War (Although I havent played FEAR yet). Definitely worth your while.
P.S.
If anyone wants to play sometime, my Gamertag is "SpaceShadow".
