Gears of War Beats Halo 2?

Wow. Not that I was hoping it wouldn't, but it's rather shocking. Well, not as much shocking as -- look, just listen to me, will ya?

According to GameSpot's article on it, the big man behind the stats of XBOX Live's most played games has released a new statement -- Halo 2 is no longer the most played game over XBL ... as they say, "the sounds of 'running riot' have been drowned out by the sound of chainsaws."

Then there goes off the people with the narrow mindset that nothing can beat Halo 2 no matter what ... look, give Gears of War a fighting chance. The staff there worked hard, most-of-all-so probably Cliff himself. It takes a lot to try to beat Halo 2 on the top of the charts over XBL, and I bet that wasn't GoW's intention at all during its creation. It just ... happened.

Regardless, the people who say that nothing will ever beat Halo 2 or Halo and that they will always be the best?

Open your eyes people-- it won't stay like that forever. Gears of War may've proved that already.

But, hey -- only time'll tell, right?

And, hate to cut in on the subject, but this just came across from my friend Charlie -- are they serious? As well as this?!? And this! xDD If they are ... oh, shoot! There's even unlockable achievements! And the game actually runs!

I'm pickin' this up tomorrow. No matter what. I'll come back with a report tomorrow. Or soon. I promise. Reaper promises. And you can't beat that, yo. xDD
