Yesterday, after being forced to sit through the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre flick, gamer audiences in Chicago were allowed to play Gears of War on the theater screens. All reports I've read have said the same thing: Massacre boring, Gears of War amazing.
Once we got past the bore fest that was Texas Chainsaw Massacre we got see in my opinion what is the must have game of the holiday season. The controls were great, even though you had to adjust for them, and the game is just plain old fun! My only complaint would be that I wasn't able to play it again.- Antonio Mercer (Chicago, IL)
You will find more reviews on Endangered Gamer, Jystiq, and probably everywhere else. I don't think any Kotakunauts got their hands on it, since we all live very far away from the various selected cities, but everyone says the same thing: super badass totally sweet oh my god rad.
Hilariously, the marketing scheme to get geeks in seats for Massacre probably backfired, as no one is talking about the movie except to breathlessly mention how crap it was before delving into their Gears descriptions. Of course, it probably boosted the opening day numbers quite a bit.
