Gears Of War 2 New Screens And Details
I hope that Epic’s claim that the Gears of War 2 story is going to expand to explore other story arcs, introduce new characters and generally enrich a threadbare tale is true. One of the only things that makes GTA IV bearable to play after the first 10-15 hours is the storyline. ...

Editorial: Gears Of War 2 Aims Above The Hype
I didn’t like the original Gears of War. I’ll tell you why I didn’t like it: it was short, repetitive, riddled with samey environments and offered nothing new in the area of gameplay. But on the upside of this discussion there is a great deal of promise looming overhead for Gears of War 2....

Mark Rein: Consoles Going Hardcore, Taking Away From PC
Look, I’ve heard the PC arguments all before. And to be honest there was a time when I cared. Back when the original Half-Life was big time I conceded that it would never work on consoles, at least not as they once were. But innovations and market changes have seen the gaming world change, and with it the relevancy of PC’s in the overall scheme of things. It’s a trend that Epic’s Mark Rein has noticed as well. ...

Rumor: Gears Of War 2 Details
I have no idea how valid this information is. But the fact of the matter is it’s the smallest morsel of Gears of War 2 data. Hell, we don’t even know that the game will be made officially. Right now Epic is focused externally on Unreal Tournament 3. but some intrepid tipsters somehow have info on a map – I assume single player from the looks of it, but who knows? – and minor other items....
