Re: Gears of War 3 Thread (Release date confirmed for a worldwide release)
I'm so excited for Gears 3 now. I watched some of the trailers and now I am super pumped! Especially since I just finished reading all the books and know what happened in between Gears 2 and Gears 3.
I really recommend reading the Gears books if you are interested. There are three of them. The author's name is Karen Traviss. She does a GREAT job of characterizing everyone. Also, the third book, Anvil Gate, lets you meet Samantha "Sam" Byrne, one of the playable female characters in Gears 3. The books also introduce you to Bernadette "Bernie" Mataki, who is one of the COGs you can choose to play in the multiplayer.
