Here’s the core of the issue though; Gears of War 2 is a great game, with a lot of hype around it because it’s (OMG) the sequel to The BEST game since, like, ever! and so on. We don’t think the second coming of Christ wouldn’t have this much hype around it (not unless he wrote a really great press release).

That’s the reason our review has gone up after release instead of before it, when we first had code – because of the hype I mean, not because of the return of Jesus. We wanted time to actually stop and think about how good the game is, not just write based on the heady mixture of anticipation and macho self-gratification.
