Sounds like Epic is *ahem* GEARING up for a fun Halloween. The Gears of War 2 "All Hallow's Eve" event begins Friday morning, and will likely keep you glued to your Xbox 360 all weekend. The fifth title update for the game is available today, fixing some bugs and exploits. This weekend, XP earned in competitive multiplayer (the tricks) and Horde mode (the treats) will be doubled, allowing you to earn those achievements and the respect of your peers just that much faster.

In the opinion of a last-gen SOCOM and Star Wars Battlefront fan, the option to swap to third-person in a Modern Warfare game would be a pretty great addition.
After what seemed like ages, Borderlands finally hit consoles last week. Promises of four player co-op with millions of weapons filled our heads. We spent the better part of last week in the world of Pandora, and now it's time to weigh in.

Much like Apple does with their stores, Microsoft wants users to have a one stop shop for everything under the MS brand including PC and Xbox video games.
