According to Joystiq, when questioning about Shadow Complex’s pricing, Epic Games programmer Rob McLaughlin commented saying that it would likely not see price point below $20. Joystiq “grilled hm for more info” , but didn’t accomodate them.

Don Mustard along with Cliff Bleszinski, lead game designer on the Gears of War titles, are currently busy working on Epic Game’s first arcade title Shadow Complex – announced earlier at Microsoft’s E3 keynote.

No one can be disappointed with the with the newest title from EA, Mirror’s Edge, but it looks like no one told Cliff Bleszinski that. In an interview with GamePro, Cliff Bleszinski had his normal talk about Gears of War 2, but one thing that stood out at the end of the interview was his lack of understanding of EA’s upcoming game, Mirror’s Edge.

Bleszinski :”I think Mirror’s Edge will be great, too, but they’re showing me too much parkour, I want to see the gunplay. I hope it’s not all just running and jumping. As long as there’s something chasing me… even Mario had Goombas, you know?”

I really don’t mean to be a pain about things like this, Cliffy, but just because a game doesn’t focus on guns doesn’t mean it isn’t a good game. Even if you want more “parkour”. Also many of you may want to know why this would concern him, it’s because the game runs on Unreal Engine 3, which was made by the company he works for Epic Games.

Gears of War design director Cliff Bleszinski has talked against developers handing over their IP to be developed by other studios, saying the Call of Duty-style approach to games means quality is ‘lost in translation’. Just like that movie I saw sometime back. When speaking at an press event for the launch of Gears of War 2 he was asked about his views on franchises that have the popularity of Gears but which have multiple designers. But Bleszinski did say that he wasn’t interested in letting another developer have a crack at designing a Gears episode – and other franchises which try that approach tend to become soulless when a property changes hands.

He goes on to tell the guys at DevelopMag that: “We’ve got a lot of ideas about where the franchise will go. But sometimes I feel a franchise loses something when it’s shifted off to another shop. You get the primary studio that really understands about the franchise, and sometimes the other studio that takes it over can do well, but there’s something lost in translation, like the game’s soul has gone.”

We all know why Gears of War 2 wouldn’t be coming to the PC, not that any of us really care right now, but do you want would make Gears of War 2 more fun? What if you had the chance had the chance to show some Freshmen to the game how to live it up like Seniors to the game. We know that you have been barraged by the Gears of War 2 news today, but this rumor was just to good to past up.

According to a post on the Evil Avatar forums, Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion, and Tyro Station will be available to download off Xbox Live Market Place the day that the is release. But, here’s where they get you. It will only be available for people who purchase a new copy of the game.

Well, it looks like PC gaming is killing it’s self with piracy according to a recent interview with Cliff Bleszinski because of the PC’s piracy problems they aren’t bring Gears of War 2 onto the PC.

“The person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know [BitTorrent] to know all the elements so they can pirate software,” says Bleszinski. “Therefore, high-end videogames are suffering very much on the PC.”

Let’s say you really want to play Gears of War 2, but due to the fact that it is plagued filled with hardcore violence some people may take an offensive. But, as you know, the people at Epic Games are smart and they where kind enough to help all it’s Gears fans out with this issues. MCV revealed today that, the same non-violence feature that was in the first Gears, will be placed in Gears of War 2. This feature will basically removed all violence from the game that will appeal to a younger audience. Also adding to the fact that when this feature is activated blood will become sparks and all swear words will be turned into mild curse words. Gears of War 2 will be released for the Xbox 360 on November 7th and will ship with all it’s parental controls out of the box.

Today, Epic Games revealed the official box-art for their upcoming game, Gears of War 2. If you don’t know by now, Epic Games is all about the amazing and everything attached to them is nothing short of amazing or in others words this Box-Art may win over the hearts of Fanboys a-like. Please don’t forget to put what you think of the Box-Art below.

The game maybe all about Marcus but, have you ever wonder who was that strong female voice in all those trailers for gears of war? Well, looks like Cliff Bleszinski wants you to stop wondering because in an interview revealed by Danish gaming website, Game Reactor, that the wonderful female voice would be finally revealed.

Here’s what he had to say "Several Boomers scream “For the Queen!” in the game, while General RAAM encourages to “Serve the Queen!” This led to believe that this female voice is The Locust Queen, but her identity has yet to be revealed. Now we know it will be revealed this November." Could this mean that The Locust Queen is set to make an appears in gears 2? Well, i hope so. Just as was state in the quote you will be able to play as Marcus once again in gears of war 2 this "November."

He also said that he is “excited to see the large scale battle scenes and a lot of the coolness we’re putting in the multiplayer feature set.”
