Shouldn't there be like an official Gears of War 2, review thread though?

I'll create it if you want?



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

sy guys, Remember, I wasn't the one who bought it up. Heck, I own a 360 myself. Just found it funny when people started calling games that hasn't even been reviewed "AAA games".

I mean, it's okay with Starcraft does it, he's a 'contributor'. But let's keep the hype to minimal. Don't want to eat crows do we?

Trust me, nobody is going to eat crews if they are true gamers. They shouldn't give a damn about the AAA argument.

Actually, I do, I only buy games with 85 and above ratings. With limited budget, I'm not going to waste my 60+ dollars on an average game.

Don't want to beat a dead horse hear, but I thought the three that was originally referred to were Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Gears 2. 

Future AAA title could include Banjo (don't know, looks like a polarizing title) and L4D (hope so), but that would be speculation.  Won't matter to me as I have both of these reserved.  By the way, I envy those with multiple consoles not because I can't afford them, but because I don't have enough time to play all the games.  Resistance, I'm looking at you.

Shouldn't there be like an official Gears of War 2, review thread though?

 

 

I was thinking that too, but the person said 3 exclusive AAA games. that's why I asked.

so..... just one so far then. Gotcha

Seriously, why can't we just enjoy games we like to play? Battle of the exclusives are pointless (even more for multiconsole owners). :/

 

some people take this stuff way to seriously.....all they care about is their beloved system having some nice scores a bunch of reviewers came up with.

banjo, gears & left 4 dead will be played by me AAA or not...

 

easy guys, Remember, I wasn't the one who bought it up. Heck, I own a 360 myself. Just found it funny when people started calling games that hasn't even been reviewed "AAA games".

You're missing out on some fun games then on whatever system you own.  Having an average in the 70-80 range doesn't mean it's a bad game at all, it just means it has some problems. 

Do you at least rent games in the 70-85 range?  Even some 60+ games aren't bad.

no, I don't rent games,

There is also the time factor... in a week, I have 30 hours of school, 10 hours of workout. 20 hours of work, 10 hours of commute. It's eating up my time to play games. I have about 5 hours max a week to spend on games. And I rather not waste it on "average" games, when there are so many awesome games to choose from.

 

Here's games I bought this Holiday season so far.

Fable 2 (haven't touched yet)
DeadSpace (still in wrapper)
Guitar Hero World Tour (played a bit)

Will buy

LBP and Gears of War...

Will pick up R2 if it's onsales or something.
