Are you in the mood for a cover shooter (Gears) or first-person shooter (Halo).<br />
<br />
I personally enjoy Gears more because it's a lot of fun, there are a lot of great personalities, and the story is easy to follow across games. I have a lot of fun with Halo, especially co-op, but I have given up trying to follow the story.

Having never played any of the games before, I picked up copies of GOW 1-3 + Judgment and the Master Chief Collection when I got my Xbox on black friday. I just completed the first games in both series in the last couple of days having played a mission or so at a time, and I kinda found they complimented each other. Halo is a lot faster paced and kinda arcade'y, and Gears seeming slightly slower paced, also it helps that the reload button on each are the same.

I didn't even <i>cover shooters</i> were different than <i>first person shooters</i>. I thought and FPS is and FPS is and FPS.<br />
<br />
I finished Gears 1 like a week ago; finished Halo 1 last night. Preferred Gears by a mile. <br />
<br />
Gears: shoot shit, clear the area, move to the next area. shoot shit, clear the area, move to the next area. It's simple, it's fun, and then there's cool parts/elements added with the trains and carts and tanks and that make-sure-your-path-is-lit chapter. The story was zzZZz, but I didn't mind.<br />
<br />
Halo: walk through these big levels that have like 10 different areas even though they all look the same, so you get lost <i>a lot</i>. A lot of backtracking; a lot of "have I been here before?... am I supposed to go back through here?" Checkpoints at odd places; if you get to a checkpoint low with health you're fucked. No aim button. Would have preferred more than two weapons at a time. Grenades you can't see killing you. Sometimes enemies respawn, sometimes they don't. you can't tell if they're dead or not. Story was kinda neat.<br />
<br />
finna dive into Lost Odyssey this weekend. I was actually looking at buying this, and Blue Dragon, when I first got the Xbone. never played em; love Sakaguchi+Uematsu. <br />
<br />
Also I've probably played like 5 hours of Peggle 2 without realizing it. fuck EA access :\</div>
