Gears of War 'Best Game' at GDC Awards
Wow, GOW sure wrapped up pretty much every award under the sun. This should hopefully quiet the Xbox 360 doubters. MS and Nintendo took top honors.

There are already games out which uses Unreal 3 engines, like the Rainbow Six: Vegas. They are really heavy on PC. They how will EPIC manage fast gameplay to be guarenteed for UT07? Sure a DX10 card wud be needed to play it without lag. Seen the DX10 video guyz???

So the novelty of GOW hasn't worn off on the gaming community yet. Not surprised, it's a brilliant game. I do believe alot of people were writing it off for being a fad that would quickly pass after everyone got through the game and moved onto the next lot of titles but I think at any point this generation you'll be able to look at what GOW was doing and recognize that it's a pretty remarkable title in it's own right.

No wonder. The power of DX 10 realised, however keep in mind that if it comes to PC, U will need a gamepad, playing it with keyboard & mouse is really tough

Nah. Epic Games know what they are doing. It naturally will be keyboard and mouse.
