Normally I'd watch this, but I want to be spoiler-free for September 20th.

I wonder how well this will sell? Of course it's a behemoth, but coming out just as work/college is starting, and with rivals coming out closer to the holidays...

Of course it will do brilliantly but perhaps worse than the second.

I love Quicklooks, but I don't think I even want to watch this (at least not until I finish the campaign).

Ice T unlocked is legit. I don't have the game, but I got him downloaded already because I did some facebook thing that gave a code. Getting him was promoted on xbox live some weeks ago.

You can also unlock Ice-T by "liking" the Gears 3 page on Facebook.

I haven´t touched Gears 2 since 2009 due to some less great online experiences, still I´m hopeful Gears 3 will make up for it with the swap to dedicated servers.

Jeff, very good overview of the game, and I feel that it was one of the most informative quick looks you've done. I planned on renting this for the single player, but you have given me some great purchasing advice (as I'm sure you intended) and so I have opted to buy this instead.

The game as a whole looks pretty damn impressive, I have to say.
And the horde mode looks particularly cool and engaging.

as someone that not only has both hd systems, but more importantly has pretty much only played pc for the last year, a pc that runs pretty much everything maxed out (theres a point coming, not just bragging lol)... dude, this looks AMAZING. Shit like this and uncharted is why i can never truly join the "master race", at least not in the "lolconsoles" attitude... look at this shit man. Like brad said, them dudes got that UE3 figured out alright :)

Is it just me or is the HD version flickery? I thought it was just a menu effect, but it was flickering in Horde mode too.

That said, I completely skipped Gears 2, but this does look pretty sweet. Horde mode looks like it could be fun, I'm way more into co-op than competitive stuff these days.

@habibyjohnson: There has been a leaked, pirated version out there in the dark depths of the internet for some time now.
