    I alternate between beating off and playing gears of war. Fucker is sweet.

    Okay,

    I now own GRAW & Rainbow Six for PC, and GoW for the 360. Here's my GoW review:

    Granted, that is just my first night with it. And yes, I realize all of youc ould beat me one handed, so I'll hold out my final verdict until I master the controls. It's just typical of console shooter games to me - that they're more about being able to manage the controls (twitch factor), than they are about being able to be creative, anticipatory, and outsmart your enemy. I guess that's the RTS gamer in me talking.

    GoW is probably the best shooter I've ever played. The cover system will really be fun for you once you've mastered it, and I like the fact that you actually have to aim instead of just using a button to lock on. My only problems with the game were the overly generic environments and the repetitive gameplay. Titles like this benefit from having a few levels that have you do different things just to break up the monotony. Overall I definitely enjoyed it, but it's not one of my favorites.

    most popular online game for XBL right now. The game is 10 times better online than the campain. You can even campain it with a friend if you'd rather do that to learn the controls better.

    Im having an issue with my graphics card, but this is next on my list to play. I have high hopes, but I've never really gotten into the previous R6 games.

    I never liked the controls on them.

    I guess I'm looking for a new Battlefield game that is worth a damn. That is more my style. I miss the height of BF1942 popularity.

    I hope this is true. For some reason, this game is reminding me of Crimson Skies for the original xbox. Weird controls and not much other depth.

    I dumped that game and went back to RTCW for my online fix, as tired as it was.

    yea, more strategy involved, and if you get with a good team that communicates well, you dominate.

    COD 3 is pretty good too. Get into some big long battles online. Reminds me alot of BF1942

    That is next on my buy list. I wasted money on the COD1 game for the xbox though, and it was just terrible.
