I think I'll be getting Resistance 2 first, then maybe Gears 2....

[Cry Havoc]

GOW with the same score as Resistance 2. If Sony continues momentum, we might have a huge battle for the best epic FPS. Everyone would benefit from this.

[IronMexican]

Gow= 3ps

Gow= 3ps

[dirk4mvp]

Gow = 69x better than Resistance.

[PM5K]

All console shooters are inferior anyway. :lol

Yeah but at least you can connect a KB/mouse to your PS3. You would think Xbox would be able to do that based on a damn computer software giant makes it.

If only the gaming industry showed as much love to the PC sector as they do to console!

So anyone going to a midnight release tonight?

What a joke. The only game I've ever played that deserves a 10 is Ocarina of Time. The next closest game would be Bioshock, which I'd give maybe a 9.5 on a 10 scale. GTA4 wasn't anywhere near as good as San Andreas nor Vice City.

[IronMexican]

San Andreas was the best SP game ever. Back when I was 14, I was hooked.

[BruceBowenFan]

the campaign is pretty good

I just beat Saints Row 2 and had more fun playing it than I did GTA4, hell I had more fun and spent more time on SR1 than I did on GTA4.

GtA4 got boring to me at about the middle mark, then I kept hoping it would end so I could move on. Even now when I feel like just driving and killing everyone I pop in SR1/2 and not gta4.

Sweet, now you can sell me Saints Row 2 for 20.00!

[ClingingMars]

GTA4 multiplayer free mode is fun, but it does get old after a while.

GOW2 is fucking epic.

I work at Best Buy and boy, some of these fuckers are nuts.

We gave out the replica guns, and for the ones that missed out on it they threw a damn fit. It's somehow my fault their fat ugly lard ass was too slow to get here. We 'hid merch stand' or 'didn't have enough supplies' .. one guy even demanded he get his game for some discount. I told him 'give me 20 bucks and i'll get you a discount' .. lmao he was smarter than I thought I suppose.

FO3 strat guides are going like hot cakes. I love working at Best Buy, I get all the new shit early and with discounts. I win.

[SAtown]

Is this any different from the first GOW? The reason I ask is that I've been watching people streaming GOW 2 MP matches on justin.tv every once in a while and it doesn't look any different except for the maps. From the looks of it, it looks like a GOW expansion pack

yup I had way more fun on SR1 then I did GTA4. I will admit GTA4 had an awesome story line but after that there is nothing to do. You can't fly planes driving cars suck somehow a cop is at every corner.

btw gow 2 = best game on the xbox 360 so far. I'm 56-45 on my k/d online :O

I haven't played the competitive MP mode yet but there's a new co-op mode called horde that's pretty badass. Basicly you and 3 other players try and defeat wave after wave of enemies one after another while earning EXP. Pretty addictive stuff, also the single player campaign is outstanding. Huge improvement over GoW1.


As far as SR vs. GTA there's no way i'd wanna play SR over GTA. GTA is so much more mature and adult were as saints row's story is goofy and childish. Saints Row 2 and Mercs 2 kinda fall into the same category for me as GTA rip offs that lack the polish and creativity that GTA has. The only thing worth playing in SR2 is the activities and those get old after a while. Actually after playing SR2 i DL'd GTA:SA off xbox live which is still leagues better then either SR1 or 2.
