7 Days of Gears

We have been at this now for one week. Seven solid days of running up the gamerscore in Gears of War 3. Today, Like Taking Candy From A Baby has widened the gap over The Unvanquished while Brothers to the End!!! is showing clear signs of slowing down. All three are over the halfway mark but we still have 23 days to go. The congestion we had yesterday down to 12th place has been broken up with CheapAssGamer CoGs #2 dropping from the pace being established by Reapers Til The End. Special kudos is going out today to Hollands Glorie, the highest ranked country specific Brotherhood. In this case, as if Holland was not enough of a clue, the Brotherhood is 100% Dutch. Good showing for the casual gamers so far as the Dutch are currently sitting in 26th place with only 25 CoGs. I'm assuming by now that most of you have checked out all the modes in Gears of War 3, which means I can ask about Beast Mode. Is it a good addition or will you never look at it again once you get the achievements for it?
