MS confirms Gears manager appointment News

Xbox 360 PC News by Tom Bramwell

11 February, 2008

Microsoft Game Studios' Shane Kim has confirmed that former EA Chicago man Kudo Tsunoda is now in charge of the 'Gears of War business' (to quote reports).

GameTap had reported in January that Tsunoda - who is best known for producing Fight Night Round 3 and for never taking his sunglasses off - had moved to Microsoft.

"I'm really excited about it," Kim told IGN at the DICE Summit. "We wanted to put more focus behind [Gears], and it's great to get a creative lead like Kudo."

Kim refused to say whether this meant we'd see more Gears of War games, pointing out that there's "an awful lot we can do just with version of one".

But of course there will be another Gears of War game, because Microsoft and Epic aren't complete idiots, and we never did find out where General RAAM got his frock.

We never found out why it takes a gazillion shots to take out General Raam in the first place. Or who that strange psychic female voice belongs to.

Isn't the "strange psychic female voice" thought to be that of the Queen leading the locust hordes?

Carolyn Seymour who did the voice is listed in the credits as being called "Myrrah" (Wiki).

To me the voice over always came across as a bit of a copy of, or nod to, Lord of The Rings.

Whether she really is the queen the locust keep making reference to remains to be seen. "They do not understand why we wage this war," maybe she's a half breed and thinks it is the way forward.

So GowII may actually be a mating game with the slogan "Make love not war..........Gears of War 2: The endless shag"

What should help is that although the Beserker is a locust female, their traits seem to be very similar to that of human females; "they are constantly in a highly agitated state and appear to be uncontrollable," so will be just as "entertaining" and easy to relate to.

Anything becomes shagable, depending on your absinthe/blood ratio.

Well, sick puppies is a bit over the edge for my taste but I'm sure that there are people who like to shag them.
