Preorder on the way. What could have gone wrong anyway with a franchise like Gears of War.

I hope they include a Madworld-mode after we´ve finished the first playthrough. That would be awesome. B/W awesome!

Performance is much better. The interface is crisper and more responsive imho.

....after all thats what germans do come to Austria for: cheaper gas, better cakes and M-rated video games. ;-)

I finished all the games but GTAIV on that list. Gamerscore wise though I couldnt care less. Guess my average GS on all my finished games is about 20-25%. Thats ok for me. I like a challening SP experience and once I´ve finished it, I go on to the next one.

I love my Normandy tee!! :-)

I totally agree to most of your points here. RE5 is not to be dismissed because of slightly uncomfortable controls. Human beings are after all able to adapt.

However, I have to point out, that I myself found Dead Space to be the new king of horror survival this season. I´m only through a quarter of the campaign so far, but not for a long time has a game had me get startled after every corner. The sound design is just so eerie and again adds to the horror that awaits in outer space. I see from your comment that you felt the opposite, which I personally cant comprehend, but different people ... you get the point.

All in all a very good article.
Peace

At least for the games that I played from different regions, I can say, that I had no problems with the save games, as long as they´re tied to the same gamertag.

e.g. my brothers game was a PAL version which I created the first saves with on my Xbox. Then I got myself the (compatible) NTSC version of the same game using the saves I created with my brothers version. No problem so far!

As someone on IGN stated, it´s not possible to "downgrade" the internal flash of the 360. So I guess we´re out of luck with that method...

Banning the person who leaked it sounds logical to me. But on the other hand, banning every single person who installs the leak is a bad joke imo!

I don´t see M$ do that...
