GameFly Requests Turn The Gears Of War

This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending November 3, highlight the popularity surrounding video game titles that have been already released, as well as those that are yet to debut. The week's most popular titles across all platforms were topped by requests for Epic and Microsoft's highly anticipated squad based shooter, Gears of War for the Xbox 360. Last week's number one title, the Xbox 360 port of F.E.A.R., fell into second place on the weekly chart, while the top three overall requests were rounded out by Activision's upcoming multiplatform military shooter, Call of Duty 3.
