On May 28th we’ll be treated to a full length trailer highlighting the Gears of War 3 campaign. Up until now, we’ve been shown next to nothing (Ashes to Ashes really didn’t show a lot). The final chapter in the Gears of War trilogy is already a mega-hit, with over 1-million pre-orders in the can. Congrats to the folks at EPIC who have now been working on the Gears franchise for over a decade! It does not appear as though the series is going down without a substantial fight. Check out this brief teaser for the full length trailer that’ll be released on facebook on May 28th.

Quite possibly the biggest piece of gaming news in recent months was the rise and fall of 38 Studios. Virtually every gaming site on the planet has covered the event that will no doubt go down in gaming history as one gigantic cluster bomb of nasty. We actually talked about it on Rated NA:60 as well as Press to Reset: 45 – Like a chainsaw wielding white knight, North Carolina based Epic Games, creators of Unreal, Gears of War, and the upcoming Fort Night, have stepped into the ring as the heroes of this once awful and depressing tale. Take a look at the latest info straight from Dr. Capps and Epic. This is just awesome.
Games rarely surprise me these days. It’s not that I’ve become bitter and jaded, quite the opposite really, I still love games, but I’ve been playing a lot of the SAME games of late.
