Yep, the first official trailer posted 2 days ago.

2007 was awesome for video games, but 2008's roster is looking very nice.

I hate trailers like that, I want some footage from the game

Oh yeah, check out the video showing the new stuff announced in Fable 2.

There's going to be cooperative play, something they should have in all games. And, you can join a friend's game over XBL, awesome.

That trailer was awful

I found a video showing the new engine upgrades. Check out the destructible environments... holy shit.

That was really cool. I need to get hands on the original Gears of War this weekend.

The original Gears is still insanely expensive. But I didn't pay for my copy so I am not complaining.

I personally never understood the huge hype behind Gears of War. Being a die hard Epic fanboy, I really felt let down by the shooter. The multiplayer seemed half assed and underdeveloped to me, and often times showed huge signs of imbalance in the game play in my opinion. That being said I felt it did have a strong, yet short, single player campaign that certainly warranted a buy, but not the hype, received.

I do however love the cover system, and believe every FPS/TPS should follow suit in making use of such an idea. It brings more of a depth to the genre.

However I am interested to see if Epic is going to step it up ( Knowing Epic, they will ) and what they're going to throw at us for GoW 2. I'd like to see a deeper multiplayer game with more players in the mix, and a much longer single player campaign. I'm sure the usual toss of more guns, grunts, and gore will be thrown into the mix as with any FPS sequel as well.
