Gears of War 2, is one of the most coveted video games to be released for the Xbox 360. Gears of War 2 boasts realistic game-play, amazing graphics, and mind-boggling weaponry, machines, and beasties. Developed by Microsoft, through Epic Games, it was scheduled to be released on July 8, 2008. Due to developmental delays, the game is now slated for a November 7, 2008 release.

Led by famed game designer Cliff Bleszinski, Gears of War 2 promises more entertaining violence. The demo played at the Game Developers Conference met with a positive response. The game seems to build on the successes of the first Gears of War, utilizing jaw-dropping, lifelike graphics and deeper, more involved storyline. The novelist, Joshua Ortega, was hired to enrich the story and draw the player deeper into the world of Sera.

One of the most reviewed items coming from the merchandizing of GOW 2 is the Locust Drone. A writer for GamerVision noted: “Way back in April, while scoping NECA’s wares at the New York Comic Con, I took notice the Gears of War line had a Locust with an exploding head…I was in love. I had never seen an action figure with quite the attention to the source material as this one. Immediately, I began asking (read: begging) NECA for information about when and where I’d be able to get this wonderful piece of craftsmanship.” The Lancer, a machine gun-chainsaw weapon from the game, is another poplar piece amongst GOW 2 aficionados. It has consistently been a popular item on Amazon.
