Spoiled by Gears of War!


Anyone else feel completely spoiled by Gears of War on the xbox 360? It's gruesomely-addictive HD loveliness has left me finding other games quite weak and generally lacking something. Picked up G.R.A.W. pretty cheap on ebay last week (the game that first made me want an xbox!) and it just feels like GoW's fatter, clumsy, ugly older sister.
NFS Carbon is good fun but now I've unlocked most of the stuff on it it's not so much of a challenge - not quite the same enduring appeal as GoW.

Rainbow Six - Vegas looks good, but I've got a feeling it just won't be as satisfying as GoW. Anybody else suffering from GoW addiction? More importantly, when's GoW 2 coming out?!

Well, i definately agree with you against G.R.A.W - although they are very different games.

The only other game i have is PES 6 - which is addictive enough!

The only gripe i have with GOW is the lack of colour - everything is sooo grey, its sometimes hard to tell the difference between they enemies and your teammates - otherwise its pretty damn cool - just wish I had an HDTV

Liked the game at first, but its got little lastability about it, as online was quite poor. Was hoping that it would be as good as the halo series, but halo 2 still is the best console game around.

Re: Spoiled by Gears of War!


What about Dead rising? Looks great, getting it wif my 360 this/next week. I chose it over GoW/ Call of D (some of the games i also wanted) so i hope i made a good choice Ill just sell WWE for it.

Dead Rising is a right laugh!

Zombies + Lawn Mower = Alot of points.

As someone who has completed such games as Call of Duty 3 and Gears of War and has Rainbow Six and Elder Scrolls. I can safely say that Hitman is the best game out on the 360. Honest.

Graphically GOW beats the rest, but gameplay wise, there are a few better games like COD3 for example.

Re: Spoiled by Gears of War!


Haven't experienced Gears of War yet but will soon. At the minute the best game I have for graphics is GRAW but the game itself is unbelievably hard and annoying! I've got dead rising and elder scrolls coming from lovefilm on rental for a bash.

I just got Vegas and only played it on-line, I am happy with the on-line as some previous games were not that good on Live. Should get GoW tomorrow so have no idea about that right now, I just hope all this hype is worth it.

I also have Dead Rising and it is great fun.
