Gears of War Fan Kit

By DeaconBlade • July 25, 2006

Gears of War

As the threat of Emergence Day approaches, Microsoft Game Studios today announced the first of many tools to combat the impending Locust Horde…a Gears of War Fan Site Kit, that is now available for download. The 102 MB download contains all the means necessary to help Gears of War fans build a fan site in preparation for Emergence Day. The kit contains concept art, forum avatars, screenshots, desktop wallpaper, and much more.Gears of War thrusts gamers into humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. Blending the best of tactical action games with the best of survival horror titles, Gears of War features cinematic, beautifully rendered interactive environments with high-definition visuals.Gears of War will launch on Emergence Day 2006.I checked the kit and it has some pretty cool stuff in it. I like the avatars.

*edit - Stay tuned for a big announcement concerning Gears of War from Epic next week. What could it be? I don’t know but one thing for sure is that it will not be a demo.

fan kits are pretty common these days…many of the big games have them…even the smaller games. it’s a really cool thing for companies to support.

Deadly Cyclone : you should get one eventually, they are sending more out this week
No Hands 55 : yeh its not there...im kinda upset
Deadly Cyclone : You go click on "My Account" at the top of the page, then click on "Account/Profil e" tab and it will be right there if you got it
No Hands 55 : cod single player is always great too so i will be picking it up even if the online is bad
No Hands 55 : where is it at? i was told it was received in a message at the site
lawlhalla : back
Deadly Cyclone : Did you check the right area? You need to click My account at the top, then go to Profile/Account tab (or whatever the tab is)
No Hands 55 : i am a vip migrated account still with beta code .....:(
No Hands 55 : yeh the new cod is the same engine and all that as cod4 just set back in ww2 so it will be good game
Deadly Cyclone : yeah, not sure about the story yet, but I got in the multiplayer beta and it rocks, like CoD4 with added stuff
No Hands 55 : im right there with you. thats why i am trying to decide on some games that i could wait until christmas or jan next year to buy. thing is i cant decide which to wait on
BostonPimpDaddy : that's the WW2 game right? What's it about?
Deadly Cyclone : World at War
BostonPimpDaddy : which CoD?
Deadly Cyclone : Check that, forgot about CoD, 7 games in 3 weeks
No Hands 55 : yep me 2 seeing how its going
No Hands 55 : and Guitar hero world tour is on the 26th and cod5 is on 11/11...
Deadly Cyclone : I will buy 6 games in like 3 weeks
Deadly Cyclone : haha I know what you mean No Hands, then a week or so after Fallout 3 you have Gears 2, then Mirror's Edge
BostonPimpDaddy : OMG @ Deadly LOL
No Hands 55 : why do they always have all my games come out withing 2 weeks of each other when i have been bored with old games for 2 months
Deadly Cyclone : Next week is rediculous, I am buying Far Cry 2, Fable 2, and LittleBigPlanet all in one day (Tuesday)
No Hands 55 : the thing is there is probably not going to be demos and i have a feeling the reviews for both will be very good
BostonPimpDaddy : NoHands, why not wait until the demos are out, and all reviews, see which one you like better and get that one first?
No Hands 55 : I have absolutely no way of deciding to get either fable 2 or fallout 3. i am a huge rpg fan and played oblivion (fallout producers) for well over 100s of hours and i beat fable 1 at least 8 times or more. How do i choose which to buy first? I will be buying the one i dont choose later on towards January when i need some more games.
BostonPimpDaddy : shoot
No Hands 55 : so i need help on something
BostonPimpDaddy : yah it was someone else. Sorry
Deadly Cyclone : I don't think I sent one lol
BostonPimpDaddy : maybe it was another deadly? LOL
BostonPimpDaddy : Deadly did you send me an xbox live message this weekend?
BostonPimpDaddy : At least he's not out the whole season, like my QB Brady. I feel your pain brothers.
Deadly Cyclone : Off Live?
BostonPimpDaddy : broken pinkie. that wuss LOL
BostonPimpDaddy : «link»
