More Gears 2 MP Footage

This is new footage of the multiplayer in Gears 2 that is in the 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 (I should buy that game...). The Epic go more in detail about the new modes (Meatflag, Wingman (2 on 2 I think), and Guardian), new maps, weapons, and executions in this sequel. As mentioned earlier in the post regarding the 1up interview, I'm excited for the new changes for Gears 2 MP fixing what plagued Gears 1's MP so I can't wait till November. Hopefully I can get better with the long-range weapons like the Longshot, Torque Bow, and Hammer of Dawn because I didn't use them that much when I played Gears 1 MP. Then again, using grenades as wall mines is going to be pretty nuts as well as the portable cover. I'm ready to go for another all-day stretch of the campaign like I did with Gears 1 (Normal) to get it over with quickly, then play MP on November.

Another game becomes a reality... (Diablo III Official!!)

I woke up and the inevitable was anounnced after weeks of speculation of teased images on Blizzard's website. So Diablo III is finally announced at their Paris event and the PC folks are getting crazy. As if WOW (World of Warcraft) and Starcraft II are enough, Diablo III completes the trifecta of Blizzard games and it is about damn time (like that SC2 dude said). Of course, not being a PC player myself, I never got into the Diablo games, but I respected its greatness as another of the great PC franchises Blizzard has put out. With Starcraft II supposedly coming this December or early next year, expect Diablo III to have a late 2009 or even a 2010 release.

The game industry has gone bonkers with Mega Man 9, a Castlevania fighting game, and this announced in the past week which is pretty crazy.
