As most of you know, Gears of War 2 will be releasing with a code that will allow gamers to download the Flashback Map Pack that contains remade versions of maps from the original Gears of War. While we already knew about Gridlock, the new maps also include Tyro Station, Subway, Canals and Mansion. While having the older maps back is a great and all, I didn't fully understand how incredible they were going to look. Canals in the snow and Mansion without all of the stormy weather? Looking mighty fine. Don't believe me? Then check out all of the comparison images after the jump.

We are going to try something different here and hopefully it works out well… I am just about to send a list of questions over to Epic in the form of an interview for the Gears of War 2 developers to answer, however I would like to know what you guys really want to hear from them?

Gears of War 2 is going to be including an entire new set of horrible enemies that are hell bent on dismembering and destroying us. This new video from Epic goes into more detail about some of the new locust "baddies" and looks set to impress in a big way. While most of the are looking seriously vicious to say the least ( a Boomer with a big machete for instance), the real star in this video is the new big badass, Skourge. While this ticked off bloke looks incredibly similar to a Predator, he looks quite intent on doing some serious damage. Throw in the fact that he wields a double-sided chainsaw staff and you can see that he is set to scare the pants off of just about anyone that has to face him.
