Gears = better textures, different playstyle, less open world delivered with extreme polish
RFOM = good textures, different playstyle, more open world delivered with solid polish
Both look very good, RFOM2 is a bigger jump from RFOM than GoW2 is from GoW, but then RFOM was clearly rushed for launch and was near enough the developers first FPS. GoW was delivered with a 'when its done' attitude and maximum polish from a seasoned shooter developer and it showed.
Anyway, I've just spent the morning playing FPS on my PC for the first time in yonks and I'm coming to the conclusion the real killer is both these games should be on PC! Damn consoles for dragging shooters off their true home!
I want the lot of you to get gaming PCs pronto and play shooters properly!
That said I'll be owning RFOM2 on PS3 and playing GoW2 at my mates house - and he can come to mine and sample some RFOM - see, 360 / PS3 owners can be friends!
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
