I hear Wolf Among Us is pretty good too.

My history with Gears games is weird. I actually shunned the series for a long while. I didn't like the dude-bro macho attitudes and just thought it was another multiplayer shooter. However, one summer I started Gears of War 1 and found that it was a lot of fun single player and even better playing the whole campaign in co-op, not to mention Horde mode. From there it was right into GOW2 and then Cliffy-B's swan song, GOW3 - the best game in the series.
Those gunships didn't fare too well in the World War Z film I'm afraid. But really, that should be a good place to be in a zombie apocalypse.
I thought it looked better than Star Wars from only two years previous.
They're both great in different ways.
I heard there's a movie coming. Not sure how that's going to work, but the book was good.
I'll put it on my list.
I've tried other RTS games on 360. LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth II and others, but Halo Wars worked the best. It's Ensemble, Age of Empires, enough said.
The second one too. I tried the demo and got stuck. IN THE DEMO!
Further reading has revealed that I probably contracted Vampirism in a quest I did last week where I had to kill some vampires as a Mage and didn't realize I'd got it. Three days later, when I went to sleep at the Arcane University, I became a full blown Vampire and had a dream about being burried alive (I miss-remembered the dream above). Apparently it takes 3 days for the disease to become permanent.
Once before, when I was in the Fighter's Guild, I had gotten the disease and noticed it. So I drank a Cure Disease potion right away. You can cure Vampirism like that if you catch it early.
