But I need to say that there was no other game like Halo, when it comes to story with SiFi action. they did a smart move by reping the Halo Novel! I agree with U above all….

GoW is gritty, down-to-earth, and could probably be filmed on a leftover war film set with a few guys in latex monster outfits.

I too prefer Halo and can't wait for Halo Wars or Halo 3. But there is something about Gears of War that makes it a little more "real". I'm talking from a cinematic sense. I mean, a movie about the Master Chief would be awesome, but there's still a large element of the fiction to it. He is a cyborg leading humans against outer-space aliens. Whereas GoW is actual humans, against semi-monsters, but they're still creatures that inhabit the earth. It has a futuristic/armageddon semi-real feel to it. I know that sounds ridiculous and I'm probably describing it horribly. Plus it could just be the graphics from the game that are skewing my opinions. I just think that GoW might lend itself a little better to becoming a movie, (from a realism standpoint like a horror/conceptualization standpoint). Well, at least until they've mastered being able to give me robotic arms and legs... I can see your argument and even agree with the storyline premise.
