Gears of War 2: No Cog Left Behind

I can't wait to see more about this game.

If this is true it looks like I'll be buying two copies of Soul Caliber. One for the 360 and one for the PS3.

"Just like Eric, Greenhorn is the type who wishes to hold back the sort of person who wishes to forever hold back video games as "man toys". Yes, these are essentially toys. Expensive toys. But they have the potential to be so much more. We should not be so short sighted. Don't you yearn for a great story, characters? Don't you want more? Can you imagine playing a game that is as stimulating as "The Idiot" (no jokes, please) with the look of the greatest of games? How wonderful would that be."

@ Lord Bowser:

How about Bioshock, or even Portal? Both great games, both this generation, both with incredible stories. And guess what? Both were FPS titles... how amazing.

You make yourself sound stupid by the large words you try to incorporate into your posts.

"When most of their money comes from screwing developers, it's dirty money. "Pre-order haze, and if you don't like it, trade it in for full store credit, so we can sell it used for $55 and make 100% profit on it"."

You really think that they're going to sell it as used? My guess is they'll shrink wrap it and resell it as new. The deal is only if you keep the game in new condition with instruction manual - neither of these things are required when normally trading in. I highly doubt that Gamestop would take any kind of loss by giving 100% back and then reselling it at used price. The company is just to shady to do anything like that.

"Actually, when I left in 2004 Gamestop managers were given the right to buy stock on the cheap, in otherwords...Gamestop would match 1 for 1 with 5 years or more of service.
As for DM's it was the same thing but you only needed 2 years of service, usually because Gamestop likes to promote within."

Stock option is no longer available to employees. As far Gamestop promoting from within, yeah I guess so, but this is most likely the case because someone coming in off the street would expect more money than Gamestop is willing to pay. Plus if you've been with Gamestop long enough to receive a promotion most likely you already know that it's a shitty company to work for (that or you don't care) and therefore you would be less likely to quit after a few months.

"How many PS3 exclusives titles with an average score of 90 and above?

None.

Wii: Mario Galaxy, SSBB, Metroid...

Go and play your inferior games."

Good old Fernando, what a douche...

Most of the crap that they air on Gamestop TV is just that... crap. It's just like GI magazine, it's meant to sell games that the general gamer would usually pass on. Every once in a while they'll throw in a good game or two, but its always surrounded by garbage movie games (as a previous poster mentioned) or some other crap.

The hosts are annoying as hell and their lack of video game knowledge is clearly evident. As many others have mentioned they often mispronounce names unfortunately nothing comes to mind at this time. The only bright spot is in fact when there is a new female host who is good looking, but the dudes that they get to host the show are a bunch of tools. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter much because I no longer shop there and don't plan to in the future.

@Norm:

"I'd have to agree that the new dashboard is annoyingly convoluted. If it's the latter, then.. =P"

I have to say that I agree. I hate the new dashboard, I much preferred it before the update.
