    Once you give it to him, just don't ever take it from him....he might shoot you in the head.

    Standard is fine unless he's already a huge fan of the series.

    The game is all the same, just extra crap comes with it. The Halo3 helmet is dorky, skip legendary and such, just get standard.

    My 12 year old is fine with the standard. Runs rings around me in battle mode. Then again he did beat it in like two days and I play it with him for about and hour a day. Now he's into Gears of War 2.

    Gears of war is better than Halo.

    Gears is a better shooter than Halo, but I still enjoyed Halo a lot more due to the atmosphere, story, music, etc. Gears is just so damned gray and repetitive.

    Really? Online or story mode? cause chainsawing that giant worm, sneaking into the hollow, and hell even the onrails stages were awesome. I really felt like I was playing the same game 3 times with Halo. And the online play is the same game it has been since halo. Although the first halo was actually a lot of fun.

    Gears isn't as polished as Halo though, too many bugs and lag make the game less enjoyable than it should be.

    Gears is awesome too, but I felt like Halo had more variety in its gameplay due to weapons and vehicles, plus the music was so good that sometimes it just pops into my head for no reason. Keep in mind, though, that I'm talking about comparing Halo3 to the first Gears. I haven't played GoW2 yet since I'm waiting for my Xbox to get fixed.
