CliffyB to annouce 'new' game on Jimmy Fallon Show Thurs. April 8
This has got to be Gears 3. Gotta love how Jimmy loves gaming and will support them on his show. Should be fun to watch...Cliffy the ham and all. Thought serious Gears people would want to know.

No, but they're much more closely followed by gamers and gaming press. I, and I'm sure I'm far from the only one, would be shocked if they announced Gears 3 on Jimmy Fallon. It's going to be either a new IP or a new installment in a minor one, like Shadow Complex." @Icemael said:

Gears 3 is just about as mainstream as it gets.
" @Dany said:Hmm...well, from my point of view, if your game developer, going to a late night talk show host is going to to be a big deal, might as well bring your most anticipated title with you. I can understand why E3 would be a better choice. I think that if it is only going to be smaller game then, that is kinda a disappointment on my end.No, but they're much more closely followed by gamers and gaming press.

But Gears 3? I doubt it. I really do.
Watch a semi-OK awkward talk show to hear the new game from Cliffy? Nah I'll just read about it the next day.
It doesn't seem right that Gears 3 would be announced on Fallon, but it seems possible since he's had quite a few gaming things on his show. Maybe they'll just announce Gears 3, but wait to give any details on it during E3. I mean it's pretty obvious it's going to come out this year, unless they plan on releasing gears 3 when ever next gen consoles come out.
" @Dany said:this. Gears 3 is a much more "hardcore" game. I think it'll be something like Shadow Complex or another Epic developed/published game.No, but they're much more closely followed by gamers and gaming press.

If Gears of War 3 doesn't make any sense as an announcement on Jimmy Fallon, how in the world are people coming to the conclusion that Shadow Complex makes more sense? Does it make more sense to announce a Gears at a gaming convention? Yes. But I don't see how anyone would think it's more likely he'll announce an Xbox LIve arcade title that most definitely hit a more niche market than Gears of War. My casual gaming friends didn't raise a word about Shadow Complex when it was released but couldn't get enough of Gears of War. Jimmy Fallon has a large college age audience. Gears makes perfect sense.
Gears of Wars Wars. It will be a real time strategy game in the vein of Halo Wars, but with a twist. It will feature an elaborate cover mechanic, not unlike Company of Heroes or Dawn of War 2. But instead of just the cover mechanic, when you take cover you go into an over the shoulder third person view and shoot the locust yourself. Also active reload.
But to be serious. Gears isn't as 'hardcore' as most would believe. I mean it has a multimillion user base and I would consider that a little more mainstream than something like, Shadow Complex (not that I'm talking any smack about Shadow Complex).
I can see him premiere a Gears of War 3 teaser [like they did for Gears of War 2] and then Cliffy B. sits on the couch talking about how this will change gaming and telling people to stay tuned for E3 for more news (a trap set by Microsoft whom would love to have a mainstream audience watching when they'll be pimping Natal at their E3 keynote).
" Been playing a tons of Gears 2 online in the last week, can't wait! "You're living in the past, I've been playing Gears 6 all day.
Looks like Cliffy got bumped to Monday. Edge Online (who predicted the April 8th reveal) also has inside information on gameplay details.
