The X360F Gears Of War Play-a-thon

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, announcing the 360 Fanboy Gears of War Play-a-thon. I'll be picking up the game this afternoon and playing the eff out of it. I can only assume that the other X360F bloggers will be picking it up in short order as well. By now, I'm sure you all know that multiplayer GOW is where it's at, so I ask you all to check out the offficial X360F leaderboard at MGC and find someone to play with, whether it be co-op or versus. If you'd like to play a few rounds with little old me, send a friend request to SenseiRAM (I know, I know, number 70 on the leaderboard). And since the leaderboard only holds 100 people, anyone who isn't listed can feel free to share their Gamertags here. So, go find a buddy an rev up that chainsaw, power your way through the campaign, or lay down some punishment in multiplayer.

Once we've all gotten a chance to play and get the hang of setting up custom games (if possible), we'll try and set up an X360F multiplayer frag fest later this month. Have fun and we'll see you on Live!

22. I preordered a copy from my local gamestop store, buy they said they are not getting it until tomorrow. That is such crap! When you preorder a game you expect to be able to play it the day it is released!

23. This is stupid idiotic shit. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and was promised a Monday night midnight sale. Now it's Tuesday, I'm gameless because of a "shipment" error.

I call another Gamestop nearby and they only have games for only pre-orders. Why can't games just come out on a uniform day like DVDs?

And I got my deposit back from Gamestop. This is the last time they screw me on promises they break. Guess I'll be heading over to Bestbuy or Circuitcity tomorrow.

25. My EB said the release date was Wednesday.

I called Bullshit. I saw street date was the Tuesday the seventh. They said thats the ship day.

Listen, my parents owned two video stores for over 20 years. We had games for rental and CDs for sale. Everything has a STREET DATE of a Tuesday. And the stuff is usually shipped the weekend before that Tuesday so the stores can have it first thing on Tuesday.

I don't get it.

Cheap bastards probably didn't want to pay a higher shipping cost......

lets play some co-op

27. Los Angeles EBs got them early, releasing them today at 7pm to at least people with preorders.

Seems to be an issue with EB/gamestop jumping the gun, or being given preferencial (sp?) treatment.

Either way, I'm damn stoked

28. My Gamestop isn't getting any of the games the "release" today until tomorrow. Apparently it's just a ship date. So I don't get to enjoy this great game until tomorrow... I was sure games released on Tuesday, but not at my stupid Gamestop.

30. No one has GoW here yet either, I'm guessing everyone's getting it tomorrow. I will play the royal heck out of that game once I get it.

33. GREAT game so far! Single player is SICK and multiplayer seems like it could end up being lots of fun!


GOTY no doubt!

34. Richmond, Va: Best Buy, Target, Gamestop all have it for sale today 10.8.06.

Looks like a late night tonight.

35. this game is pretty much amazing...multiplayer is a blast, single player is "epic".

Posted at 9:25AM on Nov 8th 2006 by akil 0 stars

36. I got this game right when GameStop opened today, and I say I am VERY impressed with it, I am darned glad I bought this game. The single player is awesome, as expected, and the multiplayer keeps Epic's reign of very good multiplayer games. I feel this definitely rivals Halo in multiplayer.

This is a MUST OWN for Xbox 360, our first "must buy this console" game (yes, Oblivion is awesome but its multiplatform). Now I feel it would be odd if you didn't have this game with a 360. Its like not having Halo or Halo 2 on Xbox, not having Mario on GameCube or Wii, and whatnot...

I will definitely have a multiplayer spree online when I get the time (which I have all of tonight and tomorrow), which is surprising since I don't play multiplayer games too much for some odd reason.
