SD, its better than Gears imo.  The tactical shooting is awsome.  It has the best Crouching i've ever seen.

Is it buy worthy or rent worthy?

Seabiscuit36

Definitely buy worthy.  Its not as tactical as previous R6 games so it has a fun feel to it, but not as arcadey as Gears.  Rent it, if you like it i would buy it.  I think the demo is still available on XBL, but i can tell you the controls are much better on the game than the demo, or at least the demo i played in december.

buy, buy, buy

i made the mistake of playing Rainbow first, then playing GRAW...it's not even close.  i immediately stopped playing GOW once i got Rainbow.

Meh, nothing compares to Gears of War. The only thing that could have been better about it was the length of the story, way too short. Hopefully if(when) GOW2 comes out, it takes longer then 8-12 hours to beat.

I was owning people online in it for awhile as Mode4564 on my friends 360 but it broke....damn it. People sure do hate when you sneak up on them with the chainsaw gun though....

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

I've been playing Need For Speed - Most Wanted for awhile. I love that game.

SunMo

there are more things that limit GOW than just the length...the weapons are limited, the enemies are limited....all in all, Rainbow 6 is a much better game.

Haven't played Lost Planet but from what I gather its either people love it or hate it.

Grabbed a couple games that were collecting dust and traded them in at Game Stop for Rainbow 6 LV.

Transformers is coming out on the 26th, movie games always suck but the chance to play as Optimus or Megatron (there's a good path and bad path) might be too hard to pass up.

Lost Planet kind of stinks i thought from the demo.  The Graphics are unfinished so is the gameplay.  From people i know who have it, they love the multiplayer but the single player stinks.

I just bought a 360 today at the PX, got the military appreciation pack.  It came with 3 games and some arcade thing it also came with a year free of online all for $450.  Pretty good deal because i got it on my military star card with no interest for 6 months.

The wife just got me Lost Planet for my birthday/father's day. I have GRAW and GoW already, and they fill my shooter fix. I play a lot online, and the GoW is pretty fun that way. Is Lost Planet good enough to replace one?

I was kind of thinking about MLB 07 for the 360. I want a sports game. Haven't seen much about any of them.

Is Rainbow 6 far and away a much more improved shooter than GRAW or GoW that it will be fun to play even though I'm worn out on FPS?

Is there anywhere on the interwebs where I can buy XBox 360 games for less than 60 bones?

You mean like somewhere where people can put on their own items for sale, and people bid on them to get them at lower prices than normal retail? Nah.
