Is Gears 2 The New Benchmark For Video Games?

[Zkuq]

Even though GeoW2 is a 360 exclusive, you're clearly trying to compare it to all games - on other platforms as well. Thus it is safe to say that this is the wrong section for this thread.

Anyway, I don't think so. I haven't played either the first one or the second one but judging by how they look, they'll be pretty similar. Nothing groundbreaking, that is. They are definitely polished games but they bring nothing new. However, we already have several extremely polished games so there won't be a big difference so I think new benchmarks are either very hard to set or are pretty worthless without bringing something new as well. And please remember that I'm not saying GeoW2 will be a bad game, though I'm not interested in it personally, either.
