UGO: Gears of War 2 Preview

[Xbox 360 News]

UGO writes: "Two years after the release of the Xbox 360's first system seller, Gears of War, the game is getting a sequel. And, like most sequels, it's bigger, louder and more violent than the original. Yes, the aptly named Gears of War 2 is coming, and we've seen it in action.

After the first game's Lightmass bomb failed to take out the main hive, the Locust have been sinking one human city after another slowly working their way to annihilate our race on the planet Sera. There's one human stronghold left, so it's just to the Gears to stop the Locust from behind enemy lines."
