I thought the rendered videos and the gameplay would be different, like the rest. I was shocked to see that they are the same. Had fun playing and kudos to the devs, it shows alot of thought went into this game. Most of the people I talked to loved the game. Tuesday cant come soon enough. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=165041" width="1" height="1">http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/26/Be-the-first-in-New-England-to-play-Gears-of-War.aspx#164415Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:27:32 GMT055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:164415ZaFtxXI got the email from Jennefer.
