Yup, I finally beat Gears of War 2 last night. Two words to describe this game: FUCKING AMAZING. I loved it, I thought it blew away Gears 1 in the following ways:
1) Stat Tracker - Loved this, let's you know how you are accomplishing goals/achievements
2) Story - Story line was 20x better in my opinion and as Sixty said, there was one very emotional scene in the game. You could tell it wasn't rushed and they wanted a better story.
3) Added new bad ass guns - Flamethrowers, mortars, you name it. I loved it.
4) Cooler/better monsters - Quite a bit more challenging monsters and more bad ass looking monsters. Some massive fuckers in this game, was awesome.
I've still yet to play the multiplayer, but I will definitely give it a try out tonight. Afterwards, I'll most likely be making a full review for youtube.
I've got some extra cash for one other game. Which should I pick? Fallout 3, Call of Duty: World at War or Resistance 2? It would be a given for me considering Call of Duty is released and I LOVED CoD4, but CoD:WaW was made by treyarch and they have sucked ass their past 2 games. CoD 2 and 4 were 20x better than 1 and 3. I wish Infinity Ward made all the damn Call of Duties.
Let me know your opinions!

I definately need to get this game! Will have to get the Collectors Edition as soon as I've finished the first Gears.
As for the next game you should get ermm.... either Fallout 3 or COD5 :-)
Great post, yet again :-D

My money's on Mirror's Edge, but I'm crazy-excited for this game, so take that recommendation with that in mind, haha.
Gears 2 is way, way better than Gears 1, I agree completely. I think a lot of why the story is better is due to the writer they brought on to help... I forget his name. But it certainly shows, in my opinion, though there are still moments where the dialogue's insipid, haha. But it doesn't detract, since no one comes to Gears for the story, it's just nice to have a decent one along with the gameplay.
And, what did I tell you? Very powerful moment.
Too bad my 48-hour trial card for Gold ran out, I'd love to play some multiplayer with you, especially the Horde mode, it's so much fun!
Can barely wait for your full review of the game. (^_^)
