Co-Op Release Alert: Gears 2 vs. Resistance 2

It's a clash of the virtual titans this week.  In this corner we have Marcus Fenix; big, brawny and wielding a chainsaw machine gun.  In the opposing corner we have Nathan Hale; quick, agile and infected with an alien virus.

Up first this week is Resistance 2 for the PlayStation 3 which releases on November 4th.  The game features a unique 8 player co-op campaign.   There's also a 2 player split screen co-op mode that can be combined with the online mode.  

Gears of War 2 launches this Friday, November 7th on the Xbox 360 and features two seperate cooperative modes.  First is the 2 player co-op mode through the game's single player story.  Next up is a brand new 5 player co-op mode called Horde.  This mode pits players against wave after wave of the Locust Horde.  Both modes can be played split screen or via Xbox Live.  

So which game will you be purchasing?
