All aboard!  The GearHeads E3 Hype Train has officially left the station. Below you will find the link to our first podcast in a series centered around Gears 2 and E3. You can expect the second next week that will feature even more 1UP and GameVideos special guests to talk about all the Gears 2 E3 info as well as the "Big 3's" E3 news. Like I said, look for that next week!

But first, lend an ear to our latest podcast that features David Ellis and Jason Bertrand joining Tyler, Kenny, and I as we force every bit of Gears 2 info that they can give us out of them. Now a big DISCLAIMER here as we had huge technical difficulties that made the editing process torture. The sound quality is perfect throughout, however, we lost about half of the first edition of this podcast and had to re-record.

So instead of airing half of one podcast and then another that covers some of the same stuff I've patched together the best from each and this is what we've got!  So you may hear Jason or David start talking without being introduced.

But fear not!  The discussion is good, the info amazing and the theme music is sexy. Enjoy, GearHeads~
As has already been posted, this is what you can expect:

• An Epic battle between David Ellis and Cliff Bleszinski's teams in a Gears 2 tournament- Find out who wins.
• In-depth discussion of Guardian, Wingman, and MeatFlag (Which has a new name!).
• An awesome feature reveal regarding the Torque Bow
• Talk of the new Shield.
• How using the new grenades work (Sticking them to anything, stun effects, etc.)
• Hear how the Scorcher treats opponents like a cigarette.
• How Gears 2 feels compared to the original.

A huge special thank you to GameVideos Jason Bertrand, David Ellis, and of course- our resident GearHeads!

A note from David:

"Hey Guys, I posted this in the podcast thread, but I wanted to post it again to make sure people saw it. Some of the things I talked in the podcast (Boomshot changes, Subway map, Shield decapitation) were in the context of rumors. I guess through the coarse of editing two different podcasts together this part of the conversation got lost. So, just for the record, the boomshot was normal except it now has four shots, and although though I've heard rumblings about a Subway remake and the Shield decapitation, I haven't actually seen them to confirm anything. Sorry for any confusion."
