Players who purchase the 1600 Microsoft Point pass will receive a permanent double XP boost to multiplayer (seems like an easy way to rank up), early access to two game add-on packs which will include six multiplayer maps and two game modes – three and one in each pack, with early access coming presumably a few days before they go...
Leaked earlier today by GameStop UK, the Gears of War Judgment Kilo Squad edition is arguably the worst limited edition of a Triple A game I’ve ever seen. Claiming to be retailing for 70 Euros (108 USD – the price obviously is incorrect), the Gears of War Judgment Kilo Squad edition features – wait for it – an 18CM Baird NECA action figure and some COG Tags. Now, I love statues just as much as the next guy, there’s a Marcus Fenix, Max Payne, and...
Epic just released the new ViDoc detailing all of the new and returning multiplayer modes for the upcoming blockbuster. Epic really must have been listening to the fans on this one, as not only are all the game modes we know and love returning, but also adding a few new ones. The new trailer also shows what looks to be custom armor skins on the soldiers, another sign that Epic is listening to fans on what they want. Below the trailer is a full synopsis of everything that...
Chris Wynn, Senior Producer on Epic Games’ team for Gears of War has just announced the upcoming blockbuster Gears of War Judgment – my most anticipated game of 2013 – has officially gone gold and is on it’s way to fans everywhere. “Going Gold” is the term in the games industry for when a video game is completely finished and sent to the big video game disc printer in the sky. From there it’s printed on millions of discs and sent to...
While the last Gears of War featured a public beta months in advance, Gears of War Judgment does not. Epic Games announced another partnership with GameStop, in which those who pre-order Judgment will not only receive Classic Marcus and a Lambent Lancer Skin, but also three days of early access to Gears of War Judgment’s OverRun mode demo. All XP earned in these three days will also carry over to the full game when it hits store shelves March 19th. So, let’s break it...
Epic and People Can Fly have released the next trailer for the upcoming Gears of War: Judgement, detailing a new Smart Spawn System (S3 for short), a new ‘declassified’ mission objective for the campaign, the new “Rager” enemy, as well as a few other kick-ass looking things. I’ve always been a fan of Gears of War, so this trailer has me even more pumped then I already was. Epic also announced that those who purchase Gears of War: Judgement new...
Leading up to PAX there were a few things I had set in stone that I needed to accomplish; Play Halo 4, meet Cliff Bleszinski, and play Gears of War Judgment. By noon on Sunday I had yet to accomplish the final of those three. I set out to the giant Gears of War Judgment stand and made my way through the line, sitting down at the final booth on the right. We were playing the newly unveiled Free-for-All game mode on an all new map set high atop a mountain centered around a...
Today at Microsoft’s E3 conference Microsoft showed off the first trailer for the previously rumored Gears of War Judgement. This trailer gives us a lot of insight into the past behind Damon Baird and Augustus “Cole Train” Cole, as well as the two new additions to the series. This trailer shows us the new (or old, depending on how you look at it) Colonel as he condemns Kilo Squad to imprisonment for Desertion, Cowardice, the Theft of Experimental...
