I just realized I forgot to preorder Gears 2 Special Edition. I hope it's not too late!



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

And yet people still believe sequels are only bought by people who own the original, and thus won't sell more than the original or push hardware sales.

So it is news to some people..............

Why is anyone surprised by this? Gears 1 didn't have an established brand to drive preorder sales. Gears 2 does, with the brand having been established by Gears 1. That's the thing about sequels: the established brand makes marketing much easier.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
