How nice, both this and Zune Games are coming out!
Looking forward to a great year.

Dizzy · 02-20-2008, 02:42 PM

Looking forward to it! I'm curious to see how they'll carry on the plot.

if only it would come to the ps3. then I could play it.

Chri(Z)tian · 02-20-2008, 02:48 PM

I really need to get a xbox360. Played Gears of War before at my friend's house, major fun. Halo is fun too. Either way I need to get a 360, missing out on all the fun is killing me. I also wonder when the zune games will be coming out.... really want an exact date. Gears of War 2 is going to be sick!

Gow616 · 02-20-2008, 02:48 PM

Pretty soon we might catch wind on a new Unreal Engine in the works. Although, I suspect Gears of War 2 will utilize an optimized (or not) Unreal 3 Engine.

Sounds good.

*Drools* I can't wait... Will 2008 match up to 2007's amazing line up of games? We shall see... Being a gamer has never been better, whether you like Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii. I might have to fork up the cash for a PS3 just so I don't miss out. Though I'm sure my 360 is plenty for now

I say yes. This year sees Gears of War 2, Starcraft 2, GTAIV, SSBB, MGS4, FFXIII (maybe), Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and a whole bunch of other games. These alone are killer compared to last year's lineup.

meth0dical · 02-20-2008, 03:59 PM

the trailer was just a teaser trailer and showed absolutely nothing which disappointed me. im not that hyped for this but that may change once the release gets closer and we see some actual gameplay.

vietrice · 02-20-2008, 04:05 PM

Just added a techdemo of the Unreal Engine 3. I couldn't believe what I saw at 1:04...

I read that FF is being moved back to 2010? Can't wait for this. The tech demo with 100 locusts on screen at once looks awesome.

Saline · 02-20-2008, 04:55 PM

It didn't show very much, but I excited to play this. The first one was/is tons of fun.

2010? Thats crazy if true. I think the latest is 2009, with a chance of 2008.

Gears of War has a plot? Since when? (I'm just joking. Not really though.) I'm semi-excited by GoW 2. I'm much more pumped for Fable 2 and all the hours I will spend abusing my dog in-game.

paul4531 · 02-20-2008, 08:32 PM

I'm so excited for this!

IE3I STEVO · 02-21-2008, 08:25 AM

I don't know.....We had HALO 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band.......that was a stellar year!

nathanlawliet · 02-21-2008, 07:44 PM

Man I REALLY want this game. I can't wait until the achievements leak out.

RCcola159 · 02-23-2008, 04:12 PM

It's been reported that GOW2 will have chainsaw duels, meaning counter-attacks.
