  • Gears of War Sunday the 27th?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I know it's short notice but thought I'd throw it out there. We had a lot of fun last time we did a GoW night so I thought this weekend would either be great or horrible for it, depending on what people are doing.

I was thinking between 8-9pm Eastern, and I haven't purchased that new map pack yet but I plan to eventually, so if others have it I might as well do it now.

What do you guys think?

I'm game. Let's make it 8:00, 'cause I gotta be up at 5:00 the next morning.

I will also attend. I think your 8 is my 7. I'm not good with timezones.

Thanks you two for the games, I had fun up until the last map where the guy decided to cheat...apparently there's an exploit where you can shoot while running.

We'll have to do it again soon when more people aren't visiting relatives for holiday.

They're apparently fixing that bug

Sorry I couldn't make it. Was caught up with Death Note. I would like to play again sometime, it was tons of fun the last time we played online.

Sorry, I haven't played the game or anything, but I thought that comment to be rather funny. Shooting while running? What a concept!

is there any other game that most of us have in common? I have nothing against gears, but if anyone ever feels like changing up the game, I'd like to know what everyone else has in terms of games that are fun on live.

GRAW, GRAW 2, Splinter Cell-Double Agent, Rainbow 6, and Lost Planet are games who's multiplayer I enjoy.

I got Rainbow 6 but have never played it online. I could try sometime, but it'll have to be next weekend at the earliest. I have to move my mom this weekend.....

The only games I currently Own are GoW, Call of Duty 3, and Dead Rising...and my gf has FEAR and Oblivion which I can borrow.

I've played R6:Vegas and Lost Planet through renting. R6 was awesome, LP sucked ass.

A friend of mine designed the Tower level so I am a little biased, but I think R6 is the better overall game than Gears, but Gears is more fun pick-up-and-play with slightly better graphics.

One way or the other, both are definite must-haves for the system.
