Games Of War

My oldest bought it for me for fathers day, is it any good? I do know it took forever to install, but I figure because it was make by MS that would be normal. Any thoughts?

Do you mean Gears of War? I've seen positive reviews of it.

Your right Alaron it is Gears of War. When it was done installing it told me I had to install drivers for my cpu in order for it to work. didn't know a processor had any drivers. I also have COd4 which I plan on installing next heard it was a awsome game..

Gears of War was an 'Editor's Choice' at Gamespot. It was one of the best games to come out for the Xbox 360 and the PC version was described as an improvement. Both Gears of War and CoD4 have great multiplayer games.

I'm not sure about the driver- I've never had a game asked for that.

The game asks to install a driver if you have an AMD CPU, I had to install it and so did a friend who has an AMD.

Interesting- is this driver specific for this game? I use AMD and have never been asked to install a driver- but I have not played the PC version of Gears of War.
