Playing through the original Gears of War with my brother

[Steven]

I'm not into today's games... nothing personal, just a preference for the old 2D stuff I grew up with. Well, I gotta say, GoW is a blast (no pun intended). Right now we're at the part where the birds will peck you to death if you linger in the dark. My bro just moved the spotlight and I did the killing as we slowly took it one step at a time.

I can't say I'd play GoW on my own, but with my bro, it's been a blast. Solid game.

Reminds me of Resident Evil crossing Time Crisis kinda...

Is GoW 2 better?

I beat GOW, but I don't remember that bird part, hmmmm, I think I did a few things wrong in that game (like just ran instead of doing the right thing). That was the first game to interest me enough to play it all way through on 360. I haven't played GOW2 yet, but I was going to say the only other game I've played thru on the 360 is Mirror's Edge, so maybe you'll like that one.

OMFG. I only own two games for my PS3 (don't have a 360), but one of those two is Mirror's Edge. If you haven't played it yet, it's friggin' fantastic. I'm much more of a fan of the older stuff these days, since the new ones have been kinda crap. However: Mirror's Edge, quick summary: BUY THIS GAME. Swear you'll play it at least twice through.

I really enjoyed the first Gears of War. I bought the 2nd one the day it came out, and gotta say its been almost all i've really played lately. I beat it on Normal and am going back through on Insane. The game overall isn't extremely long, but I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy it. Grab a few friends and play some Horde for some real fun.

None of the new features really feel forced, or overused. Overall I like the 2nd better than the original.

Gears is awesome with friends. Local multiplayer is still my favorite type of gaming.

I've been playing through it with my buddy over the last while, we did acts 3-4 last night.

Co-op ftw.

I don't know much about Gears, are you guys playing split-screen co-op or over Live?

I tend to have trouble with alot of the new games to. I played through GOW1 with my bro and now we're playing through GOW2. Great fun
