Gears of War was undoubtedly the perfect opener for the Microsoft Press Conference at E3 2006 and proved that it was definitely the title to have this year.
At Gamestop (I'm a store manager) the company sometimes picks arbitrary release dates just to list a game in the computer so we can take reservations on it. That date for Gears of War is an arbitrary date. For instance, we list 14 games coming out on the 360 that day, including Too Human, Strangelhold, Crackdown, etc. We expect it the first or second week of November-- the busiest two weeks of the year in the retail game industry. Most stores will have a midnight opening event whenever Gears of War releases, thats for sure!
This game looks amazing, looks better than the pre-rendered killzone footage for the PS3.
This looks amazing i cant wait to pay this it would be so awesome if it were 4 player co-op...but 2 is fine also
I hope the release date Gamestop has 10/02/06. Stays like that. Because this game is why I have a 360.
