I wish there was a filter so you could see only Member comments or free users if you want to. I'm getting tired of the lame youtube like comments from the free users.

I can't see that anyone has posted the official Epic-link in order to get the Griffin character (Ice-T). It will redirect you to a Facebook page. Accept the terms, get the code, input the code directly from the dashboard or on Xbox.com. Here goes:

I'm really looking forward to Gears Of War 3. I hope I'll be able to finish of the last book - Coalition's End - before the game ships.

Just FYI, a code to download Griffen was available to those who were friends with the Gears of War 3 page on facebook. You had to "like" a specific page to get the code. I, for example, have redeemed the code on xbox and and have Griffen waiting to crach some skulls. :) Can't wait for this release. Thank you so much for the peek!

I reallllly wish this was on PC. I absolutely adored Gears 2, but my fifth Xbox broke last summer and I declared fuck it and got a PS3 as my new console. I really do not want to buy an Xbox just for this.

The new version of Trenches is a lot better now. I didn't like that level in the beta.

A lot of people really like the 'same ol same ol' of Gears. A lot of people also really like the multiplayer. Incremental improvements on things that people really like aren't a bad thing.

I find it funny that Brad says the graphics looks better than Gears 2 and that's the same exact comment when Gears 2 came out and looking better than the first Gears. How ironic.

It's too bad that the shotgun is still jacked up in multiplayer. It's what always turned me off from the competitive modes of any Gears game.

The whole JEFF thing 99% killed CashWhore---- sorry I mean GameSpot for me.

The final nail in the coffin was that they totally raped GEARS 2 in its review and gave THE PIECE OF CR*P that was BRAID 360 game of the year, WHERE MOST/ ALL other XBOX GAMES WERE MULTI PLATFORMS but GEARS 2 was NOT EVEN IN THE LIST OF NOMINEES. This is what stopped me using GS

I bought Ikaruga when it came out on XBLA because I had heard so much about it, but only managed to complete the first level. these games are not for me. Also this is 1200p while Ikaruga was 800 IIRC. I hate that almost no games are 800 anymore. Also I hate it when the video finishes playing while I'm typing and it jumps over the the next video and I had to go back and type this all over again.

I wasn't really all that excited for Gears 3 until Tuesday when I remembered it comes out next week. This has only served to increase my excitement. This game looks amazing.

@belin43: I'll never understand why people play sports and racing games. I'll never understand why people play farm simulators and train simulators. I never understand why people play fighting games and FF games. Whatever man, to each their own.

Too much menu showing, not enough story gameplay showing.
