Gears of War: Ultimate Video Interview
In-depth interview with Epic Games' CliffyB and Alan Willard on the year's most talked about videogame, in Kikizo's must-see Emergence Day video feature.
It's arguably the biggest single game release of the year, and Gears of War is finally landing this week, having kicked off this past weekend with Emergence Day in North America on Nov 12, and making its way to Europe this Friday, Nov 17.
As well as our full review in which Alex gushes that this is the best thing he's played on Xbox 360 to date, and your chance to win Collector's Editions and Faceplates of Gears of War, we're pleased to wrap up our coverage with this ultimate, 15-minute video interview feature with Epic Games.
As the face of the project and lead designer of Gears, Cliff Bleszinski (CliffyB) is the man we track down first, flanked by Alan Willard, the game's art, technical and level designer.
We go in-depth on everything you need to know about the game, including some genuinely interesting and insightful discussion on game design and control fundamentals that the team has addressed in making Gears, balancing and finalising the game, and go on to get first sneaky hints at downloadable content for the game as well as the inevitable, full-on sequel!
We're especially pleased with this latest video feature, and we hope you enjoy it whether you're already playing Gears, or frothing at the mouth in anticipation of its release...

Director, Kikizo
