Gears of War 2 - Zune, Horde Mode, Videos, and LingerieOctober 02nd, 2008 at 1:49 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Ok, there's actually not any Gears of War themed lingerie, and for that I'm glad.  But we do have a lot of other Gears of War 2 related news. 

As pictured above there will be a limited edition Gears of War 2 120GB Zune available in early November.  It'll be priced at $279.99 and include almost 250 pieces of Gears of War content including the original soundtrack, concept art, and trailers.

Speaking of trailers, the next video documentary is up on the official Gears of War 2 website called Enter the Horde.  The video shows off some of the new enemies, including a priest like character that can revive guys.  You'll definitely want to point that out to your co-op buddy as soon as you see him and take him down!  You can check out that video right here.

Finally for any of the folks heading to LA this weekend for the E for All Expo, you'll be able to get your hands on Gears of War 2's Horde mode.  The Horde mode is a 5 player co-op mode in which players take on wave after wave of increasingly difficult enemies.  

 

New co-op platform: Zune?April 15th, 2008 at 1:19 PM by Marc "DjinniMan" Allie

We are used to playing co-op on handheld gaming devices, thanks to Nintendo and Sony.  Ever since Microsoft jumped into the console market with the original Xbox, it has been rumored that they would follow suit with a portable gaming device of their own, as well.  While this hasn't been the case so far, owners of Microsoft's portable media player, the Zune, may get to play some games after all.  A Zune was seen playing an XNA game at GDC recently.  Chris Satchell, XNA guru, had this to say:

One of the things we talked about was the network play, and we've had people doing prototypes internally of multiplayer shoot-'em-ups both in versus and co-op.

Most gamers will not head out to buy a Zune for a few co-op shoot em ups; however, the Zune is a fairly full featured device already, and adding a few games to the mix would certainly help it stand up to Goliath.  Current Zune owners and those on the fence might keep this news in mind.
