    Livingston Mall in New Jersey had an EBX and an EBGames. Are those related?

    My brother and I beat GoW2 in 8hrs.

    Great game though, depressing at times, cause people in the game who were likeable died....oh well. Had a great war movie feel to it.

    A friend and I finished it on co-op recently. I think we averaged about 2 hours per chapter, so we were a bit slower than you two.

    Great game, though. Kind of incredible that it looks so fantastic but is only a bit of an upgrade on the first one that came out so long ago. Shows how much they pushed the 360 right off the bat.

    The multiplayer modes are fun. Sometimes I like picking it up and playing horde in single player when I'm bored, too.

    I had to beat it in one sitting, it was like watching a movie, it was very intense and draws you in. Great game.

    I think I beat in about 8 hours on two separate systems. I definitely liked the story, but it's not a game that I'll be buying any time soon.

    Meh I'll doubt I'll get it for a while, I have 3 games which should easily occupy me for ages, Fifa 09, CoD5 and Midnight club, plus Fallout 3 for Xmas, I won't be getting any new games for a while, next on my list is Football manager 09 on PC

    Short in which difficulty? I doubt you'll find it that short in Insane.

    It was short on normal, only about 8 hours. I'd say that's standard fare for a shooter anymore though, and games in general. Doesn't seem like a lot of games are all about lengthy campaigns anymore. The only games that I've put more than 12 hours or so in to over the last year is Fallout 3 and Super Mario Galaxy.

    I played on Hardcore co-op with my Gf and it took us about 10 hours to finish the entire game.. and GOW2 feels more like a movie compared to GOW.

    Beat it on hardcore in two days (4 hour intervals) I have no clue how you guys stay on 10 hours straight! LMAO!!!. Tried insane, but way to hard! haha.. Will try INSANE on CO-OP though.

    Playing HORDE online is fun.
