I agree we need more. The things we could do in games if we could do more.
It amazes me how amazing the first Gears of War looked. Now we are onto number three and the changes are dramatic. It's funny how Epic said they were pushing the 360 with the first but it looks like they were just getting started.
Indeed it looks excellent. I'm still not sold on the WiiU yet though.
I agree with all you said. Call of Duty is not the god of gaming. Honestly, it needs to die. Other games that are 10x better are lost in the shadow of that game.
