While 2 & 3 were more polished experiences...#1 takes the Cake. Let me explain: a lot of you guys might not remember but during the 360's launch there was much talk about the system not being much of a leap over the OG Xbox because most games didn't look that much better.
As a 360 owner back in 2005-6 I was scared to death of the PS3'S vaunted Cell chip, yada yada. Then came the trailers for the OG Gears and I was blown away. For the first time I actually saw a game that graphically represented a gorgeous true leap over anything else ever seen.
The game released to compete with Resistance ( a launch title on the PS3) Gears looked worlds better. Gears immediately submerged me into its world with the greatest looking visuals I had ever witnessed. The shooting was tight and the game excellently paced. The first encounter with the Kryll was terrifying, in my opinion the cover and shoot mechanics were already polished to perfection.
It was a cinematic game, with great likeable characters. The coop was just as fun if not more so than the main campaign and at the time I don't remember any coop experience being as rewarding.
Gears was the reason to own a 360 before Halo 3. It was the reason I bought another 360 after my OG one died of the RRoD. I love Gears.
