I’m sorry to say that while I consider myself a fairly loyal Gears of War fan, it’s my opinion that the gang at Epic overcomplicated their most recent attempt to market Gears 2. I have tried to focus long enough to figure out what the hell the mystery COG tags point to, but despite the [...]

In a previous interview with DasGamer.com, Cliff Bleszinski mentioned in passing that he thought the Dom and Maria act along with pace of gameplay was what might attract a female audience for the Gears games. He said his “gut feeling” was that women love Gears, judging this of course by the number of friend requests [...]

With the release of Gears 2 quickly approaching, I decided that it might be a good time for me to take a quick roadie run down Sera Lane — one that involves a three-hour “I refuse to accept no as an answer” road trip. Those who know me won’t be surprised, but looking back, even I wonder what the hell I was thinking …

Just a few hours ago, we reported that Dreammastah, a Neogaf forum user, posted photos of himself holding up a Gears of War 2 disc and playing it on his Xbox 360. The release date breaking renegade took it a step further today. In an effort to accommodate the requests made by other users on [...]

Today in WTF! news, Gears of War 2 is announced as having gone gold (which means the game has been finalized), and just a few hours after that, the game surfaces in the hand of a mysterious figure on the popular Neogaf gaming forum. Coincidence? Bullshit? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that every time [...]

The latest installment of the Gears of War 2 Developer Diaries, titled “Never Fight Alone”, gives us an inside look at some of the changes made by Epic to improve the mulitplayer aspect of Gears 2. Highlights include the addition of stopping power when firing at advancing targets, crawling when you’re down, new multiplayer modes, [...]

Two off-screen videos featuring Gears of War 2 multiplayer gameplay footage have made their way onto the web. Imagine that. From memory, it appears that the scope design when zooming in for a sniper shot has been redone, but that may just be the lack of any recent Gears 1 gameplay speaking. The sequel packs [...]

E for All is underway, and while the Gears of War 2 booth is dishing out coin sized COG tags, they pale in comparison to the one shown above which surfaced on the web October 1st. A twitter hint posted by Gears 2 community manager, SixOkay, recommended that fans take a closer look at the [...]

Honestly, if you want to see the design of the booklet (like me) then this may amuse you, but beyond that I am not sure it has much use — unless you want to practice the button combos to prepare yourself for the upcoming challenge. If so, you may want to throw on some Eye [...]

By now you have likely heard that the highly anticipated Gears of War 2 will not be making its way to your PC. Assuming that you wanted to play it there in the first place, the news may have come as a disappointment to you. Personally, I don’t play very many games on my PC, [...]

A new Gears of War 2 game footage video has made its way onto the web, further confirming in my opinion that the sequel will be better than the original and revealing a few new features as well. In addition to the meat shield ability which lets you use your enemy’s body to absorb bullets [...]

To quote Cole Train (my favorite Gears character) “Who loves ya, baby?” The answer — CliffyB loves you baby. And to prove it, he is apparently giving Gears fans five original Gears 1 maps in Gears 2. The list, according to the latest issue of GamePro magazine, includes Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion (my hands down [...]

Joystiq’s Dustin Burg is reporting that lead Gears of War 2 scribe, Josh Ortega, promises that the highly anticipated sequel will have “a fulfilling ending.” The apparent concern voiced by Joystiq was whether or not the game would follow in the footsteps of Halo 2 (not sure why they thought it would but lets go [...]

PAX has begun, and with it has stirred the communal gamer vibe that continues to make it the gamer event of the year. The Washington Convention Center is crawling with gamers of every stripe and every developer worth a toss has shown up to show off. The gaming press was allowed early entry into the [...]

Why should Cliffy B have all the fun? On Nov. 7, Amazon.com is offering a special promotion with the yet to be released Gears of War 2: a replica COG Lancer Assault Rifle. Evidently no replica Locust torso is available to saw through. Bollocks. The replica Lancer comes complete with the infamous chainsaw bayonet and [...]
