He means Gears 2.

OT:

Why is it all of these game line-ups threads before E3? Wait until after this huge convention with megaton announcements before talking about Line-ups. Sheesh. who knows what's happening at E3.... well, we already know all of MSs secrets, but who knows what Sony + Ninty are up to?


Yeah... I can udnerstand why though.  I mean E3 does make you excited over games you already know about.  I know i'm pumped over a few big games.  Mostly 360/PC/PS3 multiplats though.

1/ GoW2 is a non-event according to me since it is a NOT coming from the PS2 area
it is only targetted to people already having a Xbox360 (hardcore !)
AND it will come to PC at the end ...

2/ YES, the xbox360 line-up for the second half of the year08 will be stronger than the one for the first half of the year.
I agree.



Time to Work !

Sony has a better lineup IMO, and you never know what Ninty has coming up...

IMO Gears of War 2 could be the last game of significant interest on the Xbox 360/PC and there's a very good chance that the system could be dead by 2010 considering Microsoft's extremely shortsighted business strategy. I also don't think there will not be an Xbox 720. And if there is one it will dreamcast.

 

 Lol you really hate MS don't you? Btw that's a double negative so you must think there will be a 720 or...?? You need to chill with all this MS hate bro. All these past threads you have been making are just different ways for people to discuss why X or Y is better than the 360. Essentially you just want someone to say MS sucks don't you? Whatever makes you feel better.

OT: Eh I don't think any system can claim they have any half of the year locked up. And the only way we could prove that was who had the more successful half year in software or hardwares sales (depending on how you look at it) Ninty is still a mystery that I'm sure will end up being full of awesome. The PS360 also have some of the strongest lineups we've seen in awhile. And this is all Pre-E3. MS, without a doubt has an infinitly stronger lineup than the first 2 quarters of this year but "locked up" is a bit premature. Time will tell.

The only thing we can really be sure of is that MS has a lineup to keep the 360 owners happy over the holidays. Everything else is extreme speculation, whats worse is that it is extreme speculation about an opinionated topic.

Its a bit too early to start declaring anything of the sort yet.

whatever said:
The 360 is getting God of War 2?

 

Gears of War is, by far, the most popular game with the initials GoW and therefore it has taken those initials away from God of War, which is only a fraction as popular.



JDSnow14 on 14 July 2008

yeah if gears of war 2 makes the big inpact like i think it will and maybe one or two more big games for the 360 they could very well get closer then nintendo exspected so hopefully the every year games like madden or other games can pull in big numbers as well
