Internet Matlockery: Gears of War 2 at GDC?

TheTeam Xboxboys are putting on their Internet detective hats and are suggesting that Epic is going to be announcingGears of War 2at this year’s Games Developers Conference. The GDC can be a good source of pre-E3 fanboy material, and with both Microsoft and Epic Games taking up the biggest showfloor spaces for the 2008 show, you have to believe something impressive is going down.

Nintendo promises to continue selling the DS

The dual-screen handheld won’t back down In its fiscal year report releasedearlier today, Nintendo withheld a forecast for DS unit sales through July 31, 2025. Considering that even the Wii received a new yearly target, the logical assumption would be that Nintendo is about ready to send the feisty portable off into the sunset.

TheMechWarriorproperty is an oldie. Perhaps even unrecognizable to some, as there hasn’t been a proper entry in like ten years; I know it in name and concept only, having seen box art or occasional screens.

I’m used to fleetfooted, humanoid mechs the likes ofGundam,Evangelion,Gurren Lagann; anime, in short....
