So I had 10 bucks I had nothing to do with, so I picked up the original Gears of War yesterday.. Now I wonder why I didn't do it way earlier. Even if you ignore the chainsaw gun (but who wants to do that?) the dive-behind-cover button is one of the best controls I've seen in a game ever. XP If it wasn't 5 years old I'd rant way more about it.

So now I'm wondering, is GoW2 just as good? I know 3's coming up in not too long, but I'd rather play through 1 and 2 first.
