Well, today I got to play about an hour (and a bit) of Gears 2 (both SP and MP), and from what I experienced, it's going to be up there in awesome with Left 4 Dead. Graphics were awesome, AI was decent and the fun factor was more than expected. I can't wait for this baby to come out. :)
Oh, and if anyones in the GTA, I highly recommend you check it out:

I hate you.
it looks the same as gears of war 1, just with different levels.
It doesn't feel that way.
