It does sound really good, since nmd posted the first Overrun video I've thought it sounded excellent, might have to grab dis

Think overrun solves that by emphasising a mix of locusts, so you can happily stay as ok of the nippier guys whilst others fill out the meat role (I like serapedes and maulers fer example) plus you'll spend a lot of time on the COG team doing what you want. Still, gotta be seen in action. I'll hop on, for sure.

Lots of positive reviews, may have to purchase now.

How fast are Games deliveries  now ? 

Mine has just been dispatched

Woot. Although I'm out late tonight. Will be no this from tomorrow. Probably.

Well Overrun was a lot more enjoyable than i expected. As a team based objective game type, it works very well indeed. Who'dve thought i liked being a Medic? lol! You do need proper communication though, or i imagine it'll be incredibly frustrating.

It'll never overtake the proper Deathmatch games for the OG crew, but it's a welcome distraction.

Rather looking forward to this weekend, assuming Gonzo has had his copy delivered by then.

From what i've read, they've gone more arcadey/score attack with the campaign because its supposed to be just a bunch of fragmented battles/scenarios all with scoreboards at the end. I'm assuming replayability is key.

I do like the fact that enemy spawns adjust to how well you're playing. Hopefully it'll be similar to L4D's 'Director'.

I'll be sure to let you know, come weekend. 

Would you agree on that order of campaigns? 2 best, then 1 then 3.

Sounds more like Bulletstorm...isn't it by the same guys who did that? Really enjoyed it as well. I'm not in day 1 as time is limited and I want Bioshock more, but will get this.

I enjoyed all the campaigns for what they were... I didn't really care about the storyline etc, but I do like blowing up all the massive bosses co-op with mates.

The thing I've always loved about Gears is the MP, I have played the balls off of them all so far, yet this latest offering doesn't interest me just yet... I'm still working on my 2nd prestige on G3 and still enjoying it, so I don't need another one yet (that and Bioshock at the end of the month).

Count me as another couldn't give a shit about the storyline, it's all about the action person. I think the story in the first was the only way I 'enjoyed', simply because it was very, very basic (aliens pop up, let's kill them!). As soon as games start extended their universes I tend to lose interest in their story (hello Halo), usually 'cause they're derivative bollocks.

Campaigns for me are 3 (best), 1 then 2. I never finished 2 though so am likely being harsh; everyone I knew had already been through it on coop and I couldn't be arsed to do it on on a solo so it just got shelved. I thought 3 was excellent. Coop is essential for all gears games though.

Been busy all evenings so far and haven't even d/l'd the demo for this. Will try to do so tonight.

Yeah, the story wasn't important at all. What was good about GOW2 (I still haven't played 3) was the immense scale and level of bombast that Epic got in there.

Popcorn gaming. Lovely stuff.

What?! I thought I'd finished 3 but now I'm not so sure. If I have,it says a lot about the story.

You've never participated in Beers 'n' Gears then?

Never liked the MP though. Only gave it a cursory glance before going back to hot pink laser Haloltimes.
