In an instant, this massive GDC announcement put to rest a year full of speculation and rumors that has kept the Gears community on the edge of their seats. A year long Gears of War 2 rumor mill encompassing events including Cliffy B hinting at a Gears sequel, seeing Amazon.com pre-orders come and go, reporting on Cliffy's brother knowing something, hearing about a GamePro cover, reading about SurferGirl chiming in and we even sunk as low as to analyze GDC floor plans. All these rumors were reported because we were in search of an elusive GoW2 announcement and now, we have it. We finally have confirmation that GoW2 is real and we can put to rest a year full of rumors. It was fun while it lasted, but we're way more satisfied and relieved knowing that the veil has been lifted. More Gears of War 2 details to come.

But now the question remains - what kick @$$ commercial will they put on TV/Live this fall that could be on par with last time's "Mad World"? It's one of my favorite commercials ever. How can they top it?? Here's hoping.

Please don't make everyday a GeOW2 update day, please. It gets old after a while. The Halo 3 fanfare was insane. Please, exercise a little discretion.

There should be a "Halo 3 Fanboy" blog, separate from this one.

As a Halo 3 fanboy, I like this idea. Not just a Halo 3 blog, but maybe a AAA titles blog. Not to say that all news about Halo 3 and GoW2 isn't worthy of being in the main X3F circle of news, but most of the news surrounding those and other AAA games is borderline useless and not interesting to anyone other than a die-hard fan of the game being "reported."

To quote "The Cole-Train":
BRING IT ON SUKKA, THAT'S MY KIND OF SH**!
Expected news? Maybe. But AWESOME news all the same.

Epic Marketing: Do you think that denying it's existence will mean we sell more units.
Epic Accounting: Well it wont decrease profits, lets give it a go.
Fanboys: GoW rocks.
mattclarkie: I can't wait for GoW2.
