Aww, no Gears characters in PS3 version? Gimped!....nah I didn't look, my bad. I'm at an impasse right now. I want a game I can play co-op with friends, and I'm not sure if that's gonna be Lost Planet 2 or Mass Effect 2. I know they're very different games..but could either of you recommend which you believe would be better for that sole purpose? Genre isn't really important..but right now I'm leaning toward Mass Effect 2. I've heard a lot of good stuff about Lost Planet though.
