As Gears of War® emerges throughout the world ahead of the holiday sales rush, the Xbox 360™ juggernaut has sold an impressive one million copies world-wide in just its first two weeks of release—elevating the game to the fastest-selling title of 2006 and fastest-selling Xbox 360 game of all time.

The battle rages on Xbox Live® as well—more than 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking an impressive 7 million achievements. On top of being the number one title on Xbox Live, Gears of War has also driven many new members to the network since the game's launch.

Critical Acclaim
Propelling its rise to popularity, Gears of War has been crowned the best next generation game of the year by over 45 publications, earning a 95 percent average review score (as tracked by www.gamerankings.com.) Critics everywhere overwhelmingly agree and have united to make Gears of War one of the best-reviewed games of all time.

"From the very beginning, we knew Gears of War would be an industry-defining hit," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president at Microsoft Game Studios. "As we watched both the game and its hype grow, it became obvious that Gears of War was the rare title that could live up to such incredible anticipation, and judging from the reaction of critics and fans, it's done just that."

Gears of War is a great ass game, but IMO it's really overrated. I personally think the best game on 360 is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and then Gears of War. Oblivion has like 900 times more replay value and is way longer. If you're talking about games JUST on 360, then yeah, GoW takes the crown, but IMO Oblivion is ultimately the better buy.

Oblivion was great, but it has no online play. Gears of War is great because you can play it longer, I know I'll put more than 60 hours into GoW, which is what I put into Oblivion.

im just blown away that it sold so many copys this quick, i mean i knew it was gonna sell good but fuck, i mean take me for example i had my shit pre-ordered for about 7 months before it came out

Triple Sicx · 11-24-2006, 12:59 AM

im waiting on that fucking HALO 3 Beta and Fable 2

Grahf16 · 11-24-2006, 01:17 AM

I'm waiting for Forza 2. That game is going to shit all over the new Gran Turismo. Another reason GoW sold a lot was holiday season don't forget about that, not to mention 360 had a really great commercial spot for the game as well so people knew that the 360 was serious fucking business.

Edit: Apparently EA doesn't think Gears of War is good :<

Alain Tascan, general manager for EA Montreal, has revealed that he thinks Xbox 360 title Gears of War has been overrated by reviewers - with one or two exceptions.

Speaking in a panel discussion at the Montréal Games Summit, Tascan said, "What is Gears of War? I mean Gears of War brings nothing in terms of innovation to the shooter... Like, zero.

"Only two very brave UK-based journalists said, 'You know what, Gears of War is a great game but it's like what Quake was a few years ago.

"Why are people loving it so much? It's like added production value, incredible cutscenes and the best ever graphics ever. I'm sure it's going to be a great success, I can't wait to play it, but let's face that graphics are still number one," Tascan continued.

He then used the comparison of a nice looking girl you might see in a bar and go up and talk to, "And if she's smart enough, that's the gameplay.

"I'm not talking about my tastes, I'm just saying, when you go to metacritic and you see a 96 for Gears of War, then you read the critics saying, 'Okay, storyline - there's none, gameplay is not innovative...' Then I say, why did they give this 96? They were blown away by the high quality of the graphics... Myself, I prefer something more creative," Tascan concluded.

Talk about a fucking hater.
