Wow, I never realized that was Dom in the hall!

Also, on the word "true" of the phrase "and I to my pledged word and true" it zooms in on Cole and Baird.

Man, I freakin' loved Gears 1. It's one of those games that about half way through, you realize how awesome it is, and you know that it's a classic.

Gears 1 was better than Combat Evolved, and if it was a little bit longer, it would have been as good as RE4. I give it a 9.5/10 and rank it as the best pure shooter out there. It has humor, great characters, amazing gameplay, and epic setpieces that never get old. The gameplay is just pure fun, and yes, it truely is a AAA game, as good as CoD4 and Bioshock.

lol, I like being surprised either way.  I do hope KZ2 is a good game, because there are a lot of people looking forward to it, and I don't want them to be dissapointed, even if they do hate me because of the console I own.

And Shenmue had a development budget past KZ2 from what I understand - that doesn't always mean you get a better game.

I'm not trying to bash KZ2 with that statement, btw, I'm just saying that good games can come regardless of budgets most of the time.

I think it's too early to say which one will be better because Gears 2 is improving on a nearly flawless TPS design, while KZ2 is trying to improve on a rather mediocre franchise...But also can bring more potential new ideas to the shooter genre.

Why is Resistance 2 getting snubbed in this discussion? I personally would take R2 over KZ2.

I own both, and will buy both. Both will be awesome.

personally though, I will have to give the edge to KZ2. Mainly because all the things that made Gears 1 so awesome, are roughly the same in Gears 2. You have some extra stuff that's cool, but the impact it's going to have on gaming is no where near what the first one was. Gears 1 was a 360 game, and Gears 2 will be a 360 game.

KZ1 Was last generation, so the leap will be huge. Also, the money and time put into KZ2 should really help. KZ2 will also have more stuff going on at the same time. The game will feel very much like war (like CoD4 did).

I am just happy to play both of them! 

One of the problems i see in Gears2, is that when you shoot somebody you don't really feel like you are doing any damage. They just stand there and continue coming at you like nothing is happening. Now in the Killzone 2 videos, i feel that each time i pull the trigger i can feel the impact that makes on each and every person i hit.

This is one part where KZ2 pulls far ahead of Gears2, Gears2 just doesn't have the budget or resources to do this. Maybe Gears3 will have this with the next gen Unreal engine, but not now.

Does anyone else get this feeling from the games?

 when i watch GoW2 i cant wait for it to come out but killzone 2 is same old same old GoW2 will be better without a doubt GoW1 was and i quote 'officialy the most amazing game we've ever seen' and it doesnt matter how many players are online what matters is how well it plays people are still playing GoW1 online and iv never heard of killzone until now HANDS DOWN GOW2 RULES!!!!

also we get to use brumaks and reavers who doesnt want to do sit on top and control al big giant weilding rocket launchers?

Gears 2 actually has stopping power implemented, whereas the first title had very little or none.

Watch the latest videos.  Then go and play the originals of both titles and decide which one has the best "chance" of being awesome

The best game between GeoW 2 and KZ2? thats easy, reistance 2 of course!!!

 No damage huh? When you shoot the people blood is everywhere. It's gorey as hell. If you've played Gears 1 and didn't notice it (Which I would have to question your eyes) something needs to be said to you. When I played gears 1, when you shot people they would wince before ducking into hiding, and it would form a kind of bloodlust, when you came after them to saw them in half. The next thing is unlike Killzone, if you get shot a certain amount of times in Gears you're nearly dead unless revived. Gears feels more like a in war simulation. Literally, i've never felt more enthralled in a war than in Gears of War. In that aspect it gave me something not even Halo could give me in a shooter. This is why I believe they are the 1, 2 punch in the shooter department. I'll compare the damage of course because they are shooters and you have to react to a gunshot, but I like Gears 2 better as far as damage is concerned. As far as KZ2 and Gears are concerned in other arguments and comparisons It wouldn't be healthy to compare a TPS to an FPS.
