This game completely blew me away. From it's amazing array of weapons to the feeling of invincibility after shooting someone's head off, Gears of War is a masterpiece of a game.

~GOOD~
-Great, balanced multiplayer
-Amazing weapons
-Detailed storyline
-Easily likable cast of characters
-Challenging
-A gun with a friggen' chainsaw bayonet

~BAD~
-Game sometimes glitches while chainsawing and blood lingers in air for a few seconds
-Hard to tell when you're going to be killed
-It's never fun being grenade-tagged
-Everyone except Berserkers and Boomers have the same Health

~UGLY~
-I get shot in the face by a shotgun, and I miraculously live, I've just been "downed". So a teammate comes and pokes me on the head and I'm instantly fine again? wtf
-Carmine's head didn't explode

Truly, there's not much to hate about this game. I've been a dedicated Sony fan my entire life...until I played this game.

So I guess you could say this game changed my life, huh?
