‘Gears of War’ the next Halo?
Cory Bergman November 9th, 2006
A new Xbox 360 game called Gears of War hit store shelves this week, and it’s generating monster buzz. In fact, it’s sold out everywhere in Seattle, and there were long lines outside of Best Buy stores on Tuesday morning. (I made the tactical error of not signing up on a waiting list, so now I’m going to have to wait for my Amazon.com shipment. Arggh.) Anyway, so what’s the big deal? Gamers are giving it Halo-sized reviews with such praises as “Xbox 360’s killer app” and the “most gorgeous looking game” ever for the Xbox. Unbelievable high-definition graphics, living physics, frightening surround sound and realistic AI. And of course, Xbox Live compatible. Games like these have the potential of becoming cultural phenomenons, huge revenue generators and the reason why people go buy bigger HDTV sets. Screen grab…
Yikes!

If you go to servermechanic.com and play the online game and have one of the highest scores at the end of week, you can win a copy of Gears of War — Free.
Check it out - the game is about a man and a stubborn server that just won’t start — man vs machine duel until the death =-)

I want a 360 so bad. I want to play GoW. I hear it is so tight.
