Driver gets caught with 100 copies of Gears of War 2/Fable 2

Rthief.gifodney Gray, a driver for a security firm that makes, packages and distributes game discs, was stopped by detectives for an apparent mountain of driving offenses after they saw him leaving his room with a red carpet bag. You can guess from the title what they found. Not only that but when they searched his room, they found even more. Destructoid reports that: "Rodney Gray was pulled over by detectives after they spotted him leaving his room with a red carpet bag. Gray ironically worked in security for Technicolor, a firm which packages, produces, stores and distributes game discs. When the reckless roadster was stopped, he was found with 31 of these discs in his bag. The cops went back to Gray's room, where they found more games and DVDs that had been liberated from Technicolor, including copies of Gears of War 2 and Fable 2. The would-be criminal kingpin quickly broke down and admitted that he'd been going nicking from work and was selling the discs on." Naughty, naughty Rodney, your little money making scheme on the side finally blew up in his face. Does anyone else think that the security division may need to hire some security?

Gears of War 2 Multiplayer Vids Popping Up on the Net

Firstly, I want to apologise for the horrible 'gangsta' music that is overlayed on the beginning of this video, it goes away after a while. Right then, as we all know, Gears of War 2 was leaked last week, meaning that many low-life's have been able to get their hands on the game before release. It was only a matter of time until videos made their way onto the net. Piracy aside, the game itself is looking amazing. The graphic are now running a lot smoother than in the E3 code that we played and for all of you that were still wondering about bots, these videos are 100% confirmation that they have in fact made it into the final version. There are 3 videos in total, i will post the other 2 after the jump and just so you know, the bots in this version above seemed to be set to a higher difficulty than the ones in the other 2. Now, shouldn't these guys profiles be banned or something?

Gears of War 2 and Far Cry 2 Leaked. A sad day for gaming.

far-cry-broken-release.jpg You know... this is starting to get out of hand. Just last week I reported that Fallout 3 had already been leaked out onto the internet and now, Far Cry 2 and Gears of War 2 have joined them. The image above is actually from what seems to be a Gamestop manager and is not linked directly to the leaked games. (read more about them below). How does it feel to know that a whole group of pirate scumbags are already playing the games that you have been waiting for for so long. To make it worse, the leaching bastards didn't even pay for them. More after the jump. What kind of idiot gets a copy of a game and then actually dedicates some of his time to ripping it and uploading it to the internet. It has been reported that Gamestop managers had already received their copies of the game and now this happens. If it isn't this then it's game reviewers. Before we know it, sites like us are only going to receive review copies of games AFTER their release dates to stop idiots like that from getting it out onto the net, either that or they will need to start adding some sort of system and/or unique ID onto review copies to stop people from leaking games. Interestingly enough, it seems to be the Xbox 360 games leaking and not the PC ones. We all have to stand together and realise that we are only damaging ourselves. If you can't afford the game then you can't play it and that's that. There is a reason that we don't all drive Italian sports cars.

Gears 2 Flashback Map Comparison

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.

Gears of War Horde Mode.. leaked footage

I still very much wonder if this upcoming Horde mode in Gears of War 2 is going to be any good. It sounds like it has the making of an awesome gameplay mode but I also have the worry that it could very quickly feel repetitive and dull… To be honest this video doesn’t ease my fears at all but …

Lets start first by congratulating Ghost Squad Alpha on what most people are calling a “surprise win”, all the games played were very close and on any given day it could have gone either way, but the circumstances in which the finals were played were far from perfect. Last Updated: October 6, 2008

We still don’t have a date on when the new dashboard is actually going to land but it looks like a senior Product Manager over at Microsoft, Andrew Jenkins, may have let the cat out of the bag. In an interview with Current magazine he goes on to say “On the date we release it, it will be a global …
