Gears of War 2 - November 2008

Cliffy B just announced it at Microsoft's GDC Press Conference. Shouldn't be too long until images, videos, and details are readily available.

Yay

I recently put in Gears over the weekend and the graphics still wow me. Looking forward to what Epic has in store.

Not my favorite game ever, but if any game deserves a sequel its this one.

Check out some of the new technology that's going into Gears of War 2 in this video:

The first GoW was the game that made me jump to the new generation of consoles (after promising that I was done with videogames forever). Can't wait.
