EPIC STUDIOS AND MICROSOFT ANNOUNCED “GEARS OF WAR 2″ FOR THE XBOX 360, SLATED TO HIT SHELVES NOVEMBER 2008!!!

Today during the presentation of their Unreal 3 Engine, Epic studios closed out with Lead Designer Cliffy B running to the stage with a chainsaw with the coverart and release date for Gears of War 2! to follow that up they had an all CG trailer between Marcus and a Locust soldier. If the trailer is any indication to new moves in Gears 2 then it looks to be very very promising. Marcus and the Locust engage in a chainsaw struggle that will eventually lead to Marcus flipping his Chainsaw upside down and cutting the Locust upwards instead of Downward. I am still a little sceptical of the November release date but DAMNIT IF I WONT BE HAPPY IF THIS SHIPS IN TIME!!!!

NINJA GAIDEN 2 GETS A STREET DATE!

After month of specualation, screen shots, and videos, GDC 08′ brought on another surprise announcement out of Microsofts key notes. Ninja Gaiden 2 will be releasing in the US on June 3, 2008. The long awaited sequel will have our summer engrossed with an already packed summer, but I do think however that this is a good releases to comete with Sony’s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot.

FABLE 2 CO OP VIDS. AND COMBAT CONTROLS SHOWN AND A POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE!

Microsoft and Lionhead studios, in the wake of their key notes showed a co op demonstration for Fable 2. Apparently anyone can pick up a controller and join in, at any time through the game , and anywhere. The player can play as long as he/she pleases from 5 minutes to 5 hours if they wish, and not interupt game play. If this feature is online remains to be seen, but he did say however that a lot more about the environment and game features at this years E3 but for the most part they are tenative to have the game ship in time for Christmas.
