@S.T.A.G.E. , well everygame is modeled or built on foundations that other games have established.  Gears wasnt the first of its kind, nor will it be the last.  My point was that gameplay and the mood of the game seem to reflect oneanother.  And ad for saying that im justifying the ps3, you must be crazy.  because last i knew it was the ps2 that the xbox, andxbox360 stole ideas and built off of.    I also own both consoles and as for origionality, playstation has been there from the start.

 

The only thing Gears built off of was the Kill switch and unreal tournament foundations. Storylinewise it is its own style, despite the large amout of marine games. What is of itself is what makes it great. The best of everything Gears is that was borrowed was borrowed from ambitious styles and did right what they lacked in the past. What you said wasn't justifying the PS3. When I said justifying the PS3 I was referring to fanboys trying to gain hype for a PS3 game off of a 360 games already attained glory. I would be crazy to state that Splinter Cell on the 360 could gain as much fanfare as MGS. MGS is unique in its own way and cannot truthfully be duplicated in its actual depth. Microsoft did copy ideas from the PS2 era, but thats because they want to take out the PS3. Playstation and Microsoft represent monopolistic coporate entities in the gaming industry who will rule the gaming industry through dominant force. Sony did that in the beginning and Microsoft is using their power better than the first try. Sony is expected to understand how to make a proper piece of electronics as opposed to Microsoft whom is dominantly software.
