Gears of War 2 - Game of the Year IMO

Where do you start with this game. Brilliant graphics, brilliant story, sound effects and above all brilliant game play. Big guys with big guns sorting out some big problems. Managed to finish the story on co-op with a friend (thanks TL) and feel like starting all over again. It is a bit hard to explain but there many bits and pieces that make the game very enjoyable - the maps, the guns and creatures. Details such as the tip of the gun getting red if fired for a longer time. Maps with impressive atmosphere. Head shots, executions, achievements, variety of weapons and the easy of using them are just some of the features that Gears 2 got it spot on, better then any other game I ever played. I think every one that like shooter games should get this game.

Gears of War 2 and 1 map differences

Wondered how will maps compare between the two Gears games and found this great video that shows some of the differences. Haven't received the game yet (3 hours to go until I get home) but it looks great so far so me well excited :).
