    I'm excited about it, but I'm probably going to wait because my wife won't be happy with me if I get it and don't buy her something. I'll just get it at Christmas. :(

    I've been getting pumped. Co-op on the first was awesome. My roomate and I plan on not coming out into the real world until the game is beat.

    There has been no hype on this board at all which I found weird.

    I saw adds on TV about it. I've been considering buying a PS3 and this looked like a cool game.

    I really wish that the price of a PS3 would go down.

    Blu ray is cool. I have both but rarely play games on my PS3. Actually the only one was MGS.

    Gametrailers review. They say a lot of improvements made to the first one, better balance, more features. Overall the core game doesn't change a lot, but the enhancements they've made make it a better game.

    I played most of the first one in co op mode. Looking forward to playing this.

    I want to like Gears of War, but I am just not fond of the over the shoulder camera angle.

    I think its the best part. Taking cover while still being able to see whats going makes it more realistic to me than 1st person shooters

    I understand that...I'm tempted to give it another go, but I just don't know. I couldn't get into Resident Evil 4 because of that same angle.

    yeah, quirky camera angles aside, this should be one for the ages...
