Kawaad - On a quick sidenote, have you actually played Gears of War? From the videos, before I played it I thought "oh gosh, another crappy 3rd person shooter" as I dislike FPS games since they are a dime a dozen. Just.........Rent it......Go online....And play co-op, or find a r/l friend and play co-op at your house. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. Far better than 4p Goldeneye games back in the day - just amazing. The single player is OK, no idea about multi, but the story mode + co-op is just absolutely amazing - a must-play. Playing through insane with someone else has re-defined FPS/3rd person gaming for me - and raised it to a bar that no other game can come close to. Also, some X360 RPGs on the horizon: Lost Odyssey Blue Dragon Eternal Sonata Mass Effect (!) Circle of Doom (Kingdom Under Fire is one of the best RTS/RPGs ever made) Magna Carta 2 Infinite Undiscovery Cry On Anways, my 360 Not enough RPGs - Although this will be a good year for 360 RPGs with Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Circle of Blood, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Culdicept Saga, Shivering Isles, and Two Worlds, there is still a lack of J-RPGs and CPRGs. We need the rumored Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Also, not enough strategy and/or sim games - although the 360 is the strongest console with RTS/Sim games, there are still not enough. I want games like Galactic Empires, Civilization, World in Conflict, ect, ect. LOTR:BFME2 was great on 360, C&C3 will be good, but we need some substantial games other than BFME2 and Viva Pinata. Also, some sort of supplement to XBLA for those of us without broadband - more disks w/ games on them, and downloadable content. I know they have some remote kisoks with stuff for download, but I want kiosks that I can take my 20gb HD to, and download some friggin games.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
