In case you hadn't heard, Gears of War 2 is hitting stores this week! Even though we spent the better part of last week offsite playing the entire game for our epic (no pun intended) 2-page review, we're pretty excited for the retail release. Still need some Gears 2 info and media to whet your appetite? Spot these images below that show off the split-screen co-op, intense Horde mode and some multiplayer combat -- complete with blinged out Gears 2 weaponry (the LE Lancer and midnight launch Hammerburst). November 7 cannot come fast enough ...

Hhmm. This seems like a relatively unknown title. I'll have to look into this game.

I've never heard of this game; is it like God of War? I love that game. Is the one on the left supposed to be Kratos?

It's weird... Gamestop isn't advertising the gold hammer burst anymore.. they're advertising a NXE theme.

Is there any way to get the gold hammerburst without going to a midnight launch? I preordered on Amazon.

I dont know about the gold hammerburst but you get a gold lancer with the limited edition. Yes, you can play online co-op up tp 4 players. It also has a better lobby system.
