If you are looking to Gears for story I suspect you will always be disappointed.  The only problem I had with Gears 2 was the new weapons being just gimmicks.  Try them out once and then go back to the old trusted lancer and sniper rifle combo.

Originally from that E3 Netal speech I think - went along with the joke of Milo being a paedo grooming simulator.

There has to be a reason why EP3 has taken so long.  Maybe it did just get so big they said fuck it, lets keep going and call it HL3.  Didn't they do similar turning L4D DLC in to L4D2.

Most outlets have only done one review score for both and mentioned the difference - what do you expect them to do?
 
I like metacritic - ignore the meta-score and just use it as links to a whole host of reviews.  e.g. new IGN layout sucks - it is easier to find their reviews via metacritic for anything but the newest games.

You can pronounce it however you want - I am no stickler for so-called "correct pronunciation" but Worcester is still only 2 sylables (woo-ster) and Worcestershire only 4 (Woo-ster-shi-re) although a lot of people say them with 3 (wor-chest-er) and 5 (wor-chest-er-shi-re).
 
Just an example of how the rules of pronunciation can change over time.

@eroticfishcake: If you think that's weird, the dictionary also says that some people pronounce the word "boil" as one syllable. "
How do you get 2 from Boil.  Never heard anyone say Boi-L

Always held to be one syllable.  I remember they talk about it a lot in English Lit classes as poets hold it as one of those rare words with no rhymes for it.
 
Even though we obviously pronounce it as two sylable that doesn't mean it isn't one by the strict definition.  Just get any American (and a number of English people) to pronounce Worcester (as in Sauce) and count the syllables.

It isn't really an install like PC - it just makes a perfect image of each disc on the HDD.
