Gears 2 E3 Podcast...David and Jason bring the goods!

I had the supreme pleasure of sitting down with two great guys (and good friends of GearHeads) from GameVideos, David Ellis and Jason Bertrand, to talk about Gears of War 2. Both have had time with the game and were able to talk about all of the following things in detail:

---------------

•Horde: How it plays, how it is set up, and just HOW BIG and CRAZY it gets. (Ahem, 5 plus Berserkers!)

•New Multiplayer Maps: Avalanche revealed and detailed! Take that title literally...; Also, Day One explained~ how it plays.

•New Enemies: Blood Mounts fully described; 2 New Boomers detailed- Flamethrower and Boomer with an explosive whip (as seen in latest gameplay)

•AI-Bots Discussion

•New Weapons: Mulcher (chaingun) detailed, Mortar weapon- how it works

•And plenty more...

---------------------

It's a half hour of power and simply can't be missed.

I'm intrigued by the explosive whip. (none / 0)

Are we going to be able to use it? I'd like one for myself for.......stuff...

  but I think they show the Boomers wielding them in videos. Good question. Will we be able to wield them?

    They don't drop them when they die, so I'm gonna say probably not. BTW, we have an interview with Cliff Bleszinski on tomorrow's 1UP Show.

      you are the man! We appreciate every juicy second that you devote to the cause. The cause? Us gamers that can't wait till November 7th. And Papi, the fact that we have this website is nothing short of cool to the nth degree.

It better be worth my precious time, not really impressed with what I've seen so far on Gears 2, so I'm not sure any info. you could offer will peak my interest any further.

The timing has to be just right. :) Of course all the Gears 2 info. has me blowin a load faster than a pre-pub teen that just walked in on his dad doin his mom doggy! I know I'm one sick SOB, god I love it, anyway will I be playing Gears 2 or Resistance 2 come Nov.? Me thinks Resistance 2 is in trouble?
