    Gears of War (XBOX 360) Commercial

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcc-ERAEwA

    The Playstation 3 commercial thread reminded me of this commercial that started airing on television not too long ago.

    It's pretty neat and has a very "strange" atmosphere to it, especially with the music that they chose to put in the commercial.

    However, one cool thing is that everything you see in the trailer is gameplay footage -- not cinematics/CGI.

    Gears of War is supposed to be one of the top XBOX 360 titles thus far, and is set for release November 7.. So it's not far away AT ALL.

    Don't think I'll be able to get it since it'll more than likely be moved back as a "Christmas present," but jeez this game looks awesome. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

    Not many upcoming titles for the XBOX 360 that are quite as impressive .. the only other really impressive upcoming game that I know of is Rainbow Six: Vegas, which is just flat out amazing.

    Both games use Epic's Unreal 3 engine, so that's why the visuals look so good and more developers are starting to license it for their games.

    Re: Gears of War (XBOX 360) Commercial

    Sorry to bump a somewhat old topic, but I just wanted to give an update on this game's success thus far.. it's already been getting reviews:

    1UP -- 10/10
    "We review the most important game on the Xbox 360 (so far)."

    TEAMXBOX -- 9.6/10
    "Finally, the Xbox 360 has the killer app that everyone's been waiting for, a game that should be shown to anyone who doubts the system's power."

    Yahoo! Games -- 4.5/5
    "Welcome to the real next generation. If you were looking for a critical reason to buy an Xbox 360, Gears of War is it."

    GAMESPOT -- 9.6
    "Gears of War is an outstanding technical achievement, but in addition to looking and sounding amazing, it's a seriously awesome action game."

    IGN -- 9.4
    "One year in, the Xbox 360 has its Killer App. And we mean killer."


    The game has yet to score below 90%, and has an average critic review score of 96%.

    This, my friends, is a reason to get the XBOX 360 if you don't have one already.

    I knew it'd be an awesome game, but I didn't know it would end up being THIS awesome.

    Whats the song in the commercial for it
    What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

    The song is "Mad World" by Michael Andrews.

    It was also in the Black Hawk Down (movie) soundtrack if I remember correctly.
