Maybe we will see a EA and Microsoft Games scandal

I smell a huge scandal between EA and Microsoft Game Studios, and EA are really asking for it. In a recent panel discussion at Montreal Games Summit, Alain Tascan, general manager for EA Montreal has criticized Epic's third-person shooter in an unprecedented way.

Tascain said that Gears of Wars does not bring anything new to the table, to be more exact, he said that "Gears of War brings nothing in terms on innovation to the shooter?Like, zero". As for the resemblance with Quake, this was caused by two UK journalists who said that Gears of War is great game but that "it's like what Quake was a few years ago".

Tascan also praised the game, namely the "incredible cutscenes and the best graphics ever". He admitted that he can't wait to play it and once again emphasized the cutting-edge graphics of the game.

Maybe not all of you got a chance to experience the game as it was released on November 7 in North America, but only some lucky retailers got a few copies of the game. If you are serious about purchasing the game, wait until November 17 because on that day, the nationwide release will take place.
