I love Gears of War, don't get me wrong, but there is just too much wrong with the other two games for me to consider buying it first day. My brother is going to play the Beta, so hopefully they cahnge alot.

Like what?
Gears 1:
Host advantage
Crabwalking
Worthless Lancer (when used on a 1 on 1 basis)
Wallbouncing
Gears 2:
Host advantage
Sniping Shotgun
Glitched Ranks (and the people throwing it in your faces)
Epic not wanting to admit that they love Wallbouncing....
You know, those pet peeves that really detract from the game.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
In GoW, Wallbouncing is sliding into a wall and then backing off of it, making you look like you bounced off of it. You do it constantly, and you become incredibly hard to hit. Which is good, it's a nice, skill based addition to the game.
Only problem is is that Epic doesn't seem to want it, and so they nerfed it with a "If you get on the wall, your stuck there for a second"..... Only problem with that is, is that they also made it where you can cancel going into the wall at any time, allowing you to wallbounce without touching the wall....
I'll try to find a video of it.
Like this:
As for the "Sniping Shotgun"... They gave it a fixed spread, which allows players to shoot far longer than the shotgun in the first game. Only problem is, is that the Shotgun (Close range gun) beats the Lancer (Med-Long range gun) at medium range

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.

I tried to play the demo.
took like, 10 minutes to get in a lobby, then BAM! sent back to main menu.
Deleted the demo. Will never own the game.
Either you have a bad connection, or your teammates/enemies have one. There are some glitches in the demo, but its just a demo!!
It will hopefully be good, and from what I've played it is. And you really quit after 1 dropped game
Oh well better get of my
What is the game like? CoD, or Halo, or something else different entirely?
Awrite 'Deus ex colon adjective/noun verb/noun' or whatever... I only ever call sequels by their number, i dislike bullcrap. For example Dark Knight = Batman begins 2.

Deus Ex is one of the most monumental names in PC gaming. When it first came out, it wasn't really received well, it became better as it aged because of how far ahead of its time it was.
There's a lot behind it, you should really look into it and play it; since it's so old it should be dirt cheap to pick up.
It's almost like a futuristic Elder Scrolls with a more linear story progression.
You can find the first one for five bucks, and I've seen the second for under ten dollars on Steam.
I don't know why the second game wasn't very well-received. Personally, I loved it to death. They're both very much worth playing, and I can't wait for the third entry in the series.

@chrysaor: YES!!!!!!!!! I loved the second! Finally someone agrees, Although it was diluted RPG wise it was still a very fun games. Plus it had an Awesome story. And it had really good stealth gameplay IMO.

The second one is widely hated because people expected more of Deus Ex 1; however, since Invisible War was designed with consoles in mind, the game was simplified quite a bit. Ammo was condensed into one universal pool, levels were compressed down to small areas, and the HUD was too big. These are just a few of the complaints that PC gamers had with Invisible War.
Now a days, these complaints seem rather absurd. In fact, I still think they are absurd because when it comes to entertainment, never make something that it's not: accept something for what it IS, not what it should be.
@Lucifer: Deus Ex 1 was released in 2001 and Invisible War released in 2003, both before HL2.

According to PC Gamer's industry insider news blurp, it is. They reckon they've seen the 'planned' release schedule Blizz wise for the next four years.
According to them we have..
2011 - Starcraft 2 Expansion, Diablo 3 and Starcraft release codenamed 'Phoenix' which they reckon could be egames stuff.
2012 - WoW expansion and WoW Film
2013 - Expansions for Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 and WoW
2014 - The release of Project Titan, which is the codename for this second MMO they are supoposed to be working on.
My personal guess with two WoW expansions that close, they must be Outlands Update followed by the Northrend update, but they could well surprise me and release those together while working on a whole new content expansion.
