After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: DLC
Posted: May 10, 2009 10:07 pm PT
On 3/31/2009, Microsoft released a second pricey ($10) add-on for Gears of War 2: the Snowblind Map Pack. It includes three brand-new maps: Grind Yard, Under Hill, and Courtyard. The fourth map is Fuel Depot, a reworked map from the original Gears of War.

    OMG... I'm gonna go apologize to my girlfriend now... I just realized that more often than not she was my Medic in insane mode... What a realization. Gears of War 2, here we come! ^-^

    Here is a question that everyone should be asking, and if anyone knows please feel free to drop a note on what this characters name is or what he does. In the new DOC called "every gun has its story" they talk about the guns in that video. My question is, (believe it or not i doubt Gamespot employees can answer this too) Who is the 4 mandabled, dread lock locust at about 3:38 in that video? no information or other pics can be seen accept for that part ofit falling unto the ground as a transition in video cuts. If any one knows, or knows a way to find out..please let me know.

    this is definitely the resistance 2 killer for me i own both a 360 and a PS3 but this does look better in every way apart from multiplayer. gears has the upper hand on the weapons and characters, graphics gameplay, shear 'awesomeness'. this should be on everyones mind for game of the year.

    I rate my gaming experience in fun/minute.

    After that, the integral of it - fees associated with 360 - any shipping cost to send back defective items

    I'm actually too excited about the fact that there are now more ladders in Gears 2. The only ones I remember in #1 were in were in the "Wretch Pit" in the Mine and the "Troika Deck" on the Train. I'm really hoping that there are ladders in MP. (leading to a snipe tower maybe?)

    Yea! More ladders in gears 2!!!
    I distinctly remember thinking how cool that ladder climb/decend animation was, happy to know there will be more to come.

    this would've benefited from either a better microphone position or more audio compression to knock out some of the ambient noise
