Gears of War was probably my favorite Xbox 360 game to date. I no longer own a 360 due to Microsoft screwing me over with my red ring of death problem, but I’m still looking forward to seeing this title - hopefully it’ll be released on the PC like the first one was. Here’s what we’ve heard about GoW 2 so far.

• Unreal ‘3.5′ engine
• 4 new weapons
• Double the size of GoW1
• Controllable air vehicles
• New method of melee combat
• New action set pieces
• Outdoor environments to include ‘battlefield wars’

Sounds pretty kick-ass, but note that these are just the current rumors. Nothing here is final or confirmed, apart from that the game will indeed be around double the length of the first Gears game. Good stuff.
