I already have a real Retro Lancer, I used it to kill Osama, and just like WWII, my American friends are taking all the credit, strange that!

GameStop actually called me today to ask if I wanted to preorder the GoW3 console ...

Not an automated message ... A REAL PERSON! WTF

I just laughed and said, "No ... why are you calling me about this s***. If I want one, I'll buy it on Amazon ... because they don't call me."

GameStop telemarketing...the next evolution in corporate douchebaggery. I don't mind shopping from them (if there's a good deal going on), just don't like the 'pusher' mentality they impose on their employees. Makes going into their stores a drag.

Agreed. The 'pusher' policy is horrible from all angles. For people that know what they want (like us), it's an annoying distraction. For casual and novice customers, it's intimidating and off-putting.

Fortunately, I have 3 GameStop's in my town. The one that's furthest from me is my favorite, since most of the employees know me and hook me up when they can. The call came from one of the other shops. It's too bad I can't give my phone number to one store without it being given to all stores.

Gears of War 3 Horde Mode 2.0 - first details and video

With its stripped-down unlocks ladder, gut-vapourising shotguns and burrowing bombs, Gears of War 3's multiplayer component is already quite the charmer. But the best is yet to come. OXM is proud to present first details of Horde Mode 2.0, a reimagining of the second game's wave-based player vs. AI throwdowns that takes the grand old dame of Xbox 360 shooters into the realm of action-strategy.

The idea for the new Horde mode sprang from observation of Gears players themselves. "Watching the Gears 2 community, Epic noticed the tactics of the best teams: they'd hole up in a corner of the map, rigging defences out of Boomshields to defend against the steadily tougher waves of oncoming Locust."

The developer took the tactic and piled on layers, adding bases, defences and a resource generation aspect to create something that's half Gears and half Company of Heroes.

Fortifications include Lancer turrets, cardboard Cole Train decoys which lure the scabs from their attack vectors, and laser fences, which put a crimp in even the largest Locust stride. And the Locust can be very large indeed, with Berserkers and Brumaks rearing pug-ugly faces in tougher boss waves.

"Somehow they have the ability to spawn unexpectedly," OXM editor Jon Hicks notes of the Brumaks, "as we discovered when we ran across the bridge in the Drydock map, turned around, and discovered a 100-foot dinosaur with mounted rocket-launchers between us and the base. Stomp."

Cash earned from kills dictates both what defences you can buy and who you can revive. That's right, health isn't free in Horde Mode 2.0. Cash can be shared between players to muster the funds for bigger purchases, like the Silverback mech - "a hell of a machine", in Jonty's words, and "the ultimate weapon", in those of executive producer Rod Fergusson.

Brumaks finally in Horde, woohoo!!!!!!
