Gears of War hits the streets today. I’ve been keeping an eye on this game over the past few months, if only because the PR machine behind it seems unstoppable.

Gears of War has been getting glowing reviews today…Some people are calling it the 360’s killer app, and some are even calling it the best-looking video game they’ve ever seen.

You don’t see too many third-person shooters these days. Should I get it? I don’t know!
$60 is a lot to spend on a video game. Fry’s has it for $52 this week… Remember back in the 90s when Neo Geo games were $200? Oh, how we all laughed. :-/
