Too much menu showing, not enough story gameplay showing.

because then you will blame them for spoilers

I wouldn't. If I'm watching this, then I know there might be potential spoilers. But Jeff and the crew are savvy enough to know what chapters to show to not spoil too much.

unbelievable, cannot wait for this :)

Yes GB is very uneven in this. Sometimes they just spoil the whole game in a 5min sweep and sometimes (like now) they make great efforts to not spoil even the most trivial and unimportant stuff.

Nice Arrested Development reference at 10:25! Come on!

Actually it's a reference to this:

Going to a midnight launch on Monday night. Looking forward to playing Horde 2.0 and I just loved the parts with the Locust jumping out of the ground! Great stuff.

@SAYNTofSYNNERS: Yeah I never got Braid, I never really like doing the whole "Everyone likes this but me!" but Braid just really isn't that great I never got the buzz.It's an average platformer with floaty controls and an odd style.Nothing worth GOTY not even a purchase I think it's like a kid took a paint brush and doodled all over a Super Mario Bros. game.

I appreciate how the quick load tip involves mass mute.

I am trying to stay excited for Gears 3. I guess I'll prolly play it because it's the "last" one in this storyline.

I know nothing about this game/series, but those environments look beautiful.

I hate that goddamn shotgun so much.

Hmm, somehow missed this last week.

I didn't care for the first Gears game at all. I didn't hate Gears 2, but I wasn't rushing to play it at all. Gears 3, however, looks like the package I wanted the first two to be.

Game looks pretty freaking good. These guys know how to use that unreal engine.

edit: Hey guys just a question what happened to earth in the gears of war universe?

Oh don't worry about that. It certainly isn't lacking in story. The reviews are right. It takes a dump on most of the exclusive FPS campaigns that has released on consoles. I'm only halfway through it and i'm impressed.

@Hellstrom: I've already beaten the game.

Lancer'd!

Looks Gearsy.

"One last fight" Lol
