2. Gears of War 2 (360, Epic/Microsoft, November 7th) Co-Op Experience: 2 Player Online/Offline Story Co-Op and 5 Player Online Co-Op Mode The original Gears of War brought the absolute best co-op experience to date on the Xbox 360 (just look at the ratings on this site for it). So it's no surprise we have high expectations for the latest title from Epic Games. Once again you'll be provided with a tightly integrated drop-in/drop-out 2-player co-op story mode. New this year is the addition of the 5-player co-op Horde mode where you face off against increasing waves of enemies together. It is just too bad there isn’t 4-player co-op through the campaign, but the Horde mode should tide us over.
