By Animathias The single player campaign of Call of Duty 3 was mediocre at best, and I’ll give you that. The multiplayer, however, was a complete blast. I even think that it trumps CoD4 in some ways (Capture the Flag, anyone?) Sure, the weapons weren’t very advanced and there wasn’t much variety, but the co...

By iamashadow Let it fly! Gamefly that is. Like Netflix, Gamefly is a renting website, but for video games instead of movies.

By Kevin Kelly Tucked away in the dark, at the far back of E for All is a fair-sized Gears of War 2 booth with many stations showing off the Horde mode, and handing out COG tags. However, these are fairly normal sized tags, about the size of a dollar coin. So what's up with this image of a giant COG that looks like i...

By Starlight The reason we decided not to develop Gears 2 for PC was so that we could focus our resources on making Gears 2 the best possible Xbox 360 game it could be rather than splitting them across multiple platforms like we did with the first one.

By mbp(noreply@blogger.com) Looking for a bit of mindless shooting fun I went out and bought myself Gears of War (PC version).

By Ceasar S. Speaking of authenticity, even Gears of War 2 will bow down to the original gameplay of Gears of War, though GoW 2 will improve its cover-based mechanics by allowing in-game characters to stick closer to obstructions. And this isn't limited to the player characters either.

By James Co-op gameplay is unquestionably in, especially in this generation of gaming. There’s an appeal to working together with a buddy and being able to live on to fight another day.

Gomez said that a lot of the video game references in the show's dialog comes from ad-libbing, because the writers of the show aren't gamers, themselves.
