Gearheads of War

You know, it was funny when Cliff came out and claimed that Gears 2 would be bigger, badder and more badass than the original.  He got mocked, both by journalists (the Shoe story as well Kotaku) and message boards alike (take your pick).

I understand that Shoe was just caught off guard by Cliff being so salesy.  I think he was just more used to seeing Cliff discuss game elements and not go down the marketing road.

Yet I just found it hilarious that at least two reviews (team xbox and gametrailers), the reviewer mentioned bigger, badder and more badass both as an opening and closing.  So while some might have thought it was cheesy, but apparently that line worked because it came back up to the surface again on a day when final judgment was rendered for Gears 2.  Marketing might be cheesy, but it seems to have worked.
