10,000 Gamerpoints and Counting

I spent today burning through Gears of War on insane difficulty with my brother, which was quite an fun way to breach the 10000 point barrier.

Regarding Gears of War itself, there are only two observations I have- firstly the cooperative AI is too daft to play the game on insane difficulty solo, and secondly [...]

The outfits serve no purpose, though some are very well done. [...]
