Gears of War vs. Rainbow Six: Vegas
Which game should I get next? Because these 2 games looks quite very amazing. Gears of War has incredible gameplay and graphics.

Gears of war is good but extremely short and the split screen mp sucks other than that it is good but not great (I don't really like games like GoW)

R6 Vegas...never played it but it looks very good online MP looks very good and you can customize your character (online mp only) story seems good...if you are/were a fan of the R6 series I would highly recommend it...

I'd say get both of them :)

Gow has the best Graphics and Gameplay of all the 360 games, i think.

and Rainbow Six has the best Multiplayer i think, i don't have R6 but people tell me its amazing.

I would flip a coin. To help you out tho I'll compare them to what I thought they were.

R6: Definitly more real, Has lots of action and stealth, Graphics are very good, gameplay is great, online is fun along with split screen. Single player is longer than GoW. More weapons and you are able to mod your weapons.

GoW: It's like an action sci-fi game, Tons and tons of action you never really use stealth, the graphics really make you say "wow", gameplay is great, online and split screen is fun but not as much fun as R6. GoW gets frustrating sometimes excepally on insane but I thought R6 was twice as more frustrating at points. The single player is short.

Both are great. I really don't know which is better so eh just flip a coin.

Personally Wong it's up to you.....I like GoW as far as aliens and stuff go, but I just can't deny a good real life terrorist shooter, Like R6. I think as far as MP goes a majority of us will be playing R6 online and the game in general. Check out Gamefly my friend.........The World is Your Oyster

LMAO...If that's his opinion on GoW...I don't want any of that smoke.


GoW is a Well balanced game. And you can Damn well bet that a sequel is already in the works. Gow set a new bar as far as gaming and graphics goes. It's a Mad World

Good point... didn't think of it that way, sorry.

I guess I am just tired of seeing his troll comments about Xbox games, in general... must be the two hour drive that I had to make into work this morning that has me all wound up. The snow isn't supposed to stop in the Chicago area until 12 or 1pm CST.



EDIT: Just saw this article, while I was farting around online here at work... definitely relates to this topic.
