Gow2 better have an amazing storyline at least 10 times bettter than Gow1 or Halo's if it is going to win me over. If there isn't a vast improvement in that area then GoW2 is going to be quite a disappointingly stangnant "upgrade".

Cliff seems to be doing that by hiring a novelist/comic book writer.
