Our day at Epic is wrapping up, and I find myself slightly disappointed- not because Gears of War doesn't deliver on the hype, but because, from what I've played so far, it absolutely does. I don't want to leave here just yet. That time I need to get used to taking cover.... can't I work on that now? Like, today, while I'm still here? Can't I work on getting my Boom Shot route times down? Can't I just stand around, ogling the Mansion's graphics for a little longer? Alas, no. Bleszinski politely escorts all of us out the front door and waves goodbye. But as I walk across the parking lot, I look back and notice him smiling at us. Wait, is that a smirk? "Oh, he knows what he's doing," I slowly realize. Today, he teased us with a brief, tantalizing taste of Gears of War- and then he cuts us off, leaving us hanging and wanting more. Now, we're Gear-less until November....What a dick.
Check out this months EGM for all of it, its a good preview article.
