Man, you have to go and do some research on Gears of War, it really looks like it is shaping up to be a killer game. They are using some unique gameplay elements that I have seen in some videos (reload skill system, context buttons for cover/environment, full co-op). Things like that.
Sure, the graphics are better, but I think the actual gameplay (which frankly, is the only thing that matters) in Gears of War looks very promising. I remember back before Halo came out everyone was talking about the graphics. But, is that what made the game so successful, no, the gameplay did.

While I don't agree with his argument, I think it's still pretty damn funny. Someone mod this up funny, I wish I could.
