An update to GearsofWar.com features grainy security camera footage of lead character and disgraced former hero Marcus Fenix confined to a cell, while disturbing noises slip out your speakers. 'Eh, what?', you ask. Well, it's part of a series of planned flashback videos hitting the site that flesh out the background to various aspects of Gears of War's main storyline, you see.
Apparently, we'll also see the "uniquely destroyed beauty of the games environment" highlighted in due course too, Microsoft has informed us.
Hitting Europe on November 12, Gears of War is one of this Christmas' hot properties and finds players fighting a nightmarish race of creatures called the Locust Horde in an effort to save mankind. The game blends tactical action with survival horror, and we're crossing fingers here at CVG that it doesn't disappoint.
