    Where?
    I went to 2 different GameStops. They were just opening the boxes when I got to the second one. They still hadn't even called anybody yet when I picked mine up.

    The firefights in this game are super-intense. And I'm only playing Casual mode.

    I was going to rent it but the one video store in town that does carry 360 games didn't get it in. It's a chain store that apparently has an aversion to profit.

    They're probably just waiting until tomorrow. Or they may still think the street date is the 12th. Even in the XBL menus, it still says Emergence Day is the 12th.

    I went to 5 different stores before I found my copy. Just keep hunting - you're bound to find it.

    If not today, most stores will get even more copies tomorrow.

    CB truly delivered! I was playing earlier and was again impressed.

    Even if you're not a fan of the genre you may want to pick this up for the eye candy alone. Playstation who?

    Default hmmm...

    I've been playing for a couple hours now. Very good so far; controls take some getting used to, and taking cover is a little frustrating at times, but otherwise awesome. Completely linear; nothing to explore, at fights are staged, and I made the mistake of choosing the harder difficulty (the insane difficulty must open up after playing through).

    Didn't realize that the red gage in the middle of the screen was my health gauge for awhile. No health packs here, I think you regenerate your health automatically.

    Excessive gore, but not a problem...

    Great game...

    Earlier this morning, the press average of this game was 9.5 over at IGN.

    It's now a 9.9 if that says anything.

    On the 3rd portion of "Ashes" at the moment. This game (so far) has lived up to the hype, and then some.

    My brothers up in Orlando ordered it online and have it right now. If it wasn't for this discount I get, I'd have taken the online route, too. Half the time the games arrive early, especially off Amazon.

    yeah so far this game is great.. I unfortunately haven't been able to play online yet because of network difficulties at the house, but the solo mode is great.

    I got my collector's edition yesterday, and I couldn't find out why I kept dieing. And then I realized that this was not Prey, and I could not just run up to locusts and pump them full of lead. Now that I know how to play the game, it is much more fun! Great job Epic!

    Still on the fence with this one. The last two shooters I've played (Prey and Quake IV), I got bored with 30 minutes into the game and never had the desire to finnish.

    In fact I was never even that big of a fan of Halo, I played the second one for about 2 hours then got bored and never completed it. Maybe I'll pick up GoW when it hit's $30 or something.

    I know there is a splitscreen option. I assume it is for co-op/multiplayer. I'm not touching multiplayer until I finish the solo.

    Casual? Why would you want to play this on that setting? I can't wait to unlock insane. The X-play review said it was near impossible, though I expect someones probably done it by now.

    Its co-op Locally, online and system link.

    Quoted from IGN Review:

    Two player co-op play is available via split screen, system link and over Xbox Live, and the Gears of War co-op mode ranks among the greatest of all time.
