My love for you is like a truck

I looks as though Xbox 360 has made a massive on-line ad-buy to coincide with the release of the PS3. Always willing to do my bit, I have just watched the new trailer for the only first-person shooter I want to play this side of Halo 3, Gears of War. While the trailer has camera angles I would not expect to find in game-play the whole was rendered using the same Unreal Engine. Stunning. The story-line is also worth pondering; the Xbox 360 site summary does not do it justice.

Gears of War® is the first game developed by Epic Games exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and Xbox 360™. Gears of War thrusts you into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.

In this third-person tactical action/horror game, live and breathe the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warrior fiends. Immerse yourself in an experience so intensely emotional and gut-wrenching that playing will be like controlling a blockbuster action movie.

I shall remain loyal to Sony, thank you. THe 3 looks to have better graphics than the 360, and I already, well, more like The Wife, have a pretty substantial PS2 library.
Of course, I'd rather be a two platform family, but until such time Viva la Playstation!
