New Gears 2 DLC Sounds Amazing

Major Nelson recently had Epic’s Cliffy B on his podcast and discussed the upcoming DLC for Gears of War 2, titled Dark Corners. On the podcast, the designer revealed to us that the content was originally in Gears of War 2, but was cut out of the game’s release.

Marcus and Dom are actually going to the Locust homeworld and they’re basically suited up in Locust armour and have a choice – because they knocked out a couple of Therons – they can go in guns-blazing as they always do, Rambo-style, or they can go with a more stealth approach, so it’s a little bit of stealth in the Gears universe.”

This is the first single-player DLC that the guys at Epic have done for the Gear of War universe, and frankly I’m such a fanboy for that game series, I can’t possibly wait for the expansion to hit the innernets next week. It’ll run you a whopping 800 MS points (I’m being facetious, $10 isn’t that bad). I’m just really happy that the game companies are starting to take notice of us non-multiplayer folk.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
