Eurgh, it really annoys me that in order to get the beta I have to buy bulletstorm, such a cheap (yet, admittedly, effective) tactic for game sales.

No you don't, but it is easier with bullestorm and you get access for longer

i thought it may have released in november, if its september when do you think halo 1 remake will be

"If the announcement of the official release date for Gears of War 3 wasn't enough for you today, you'll be happy to know that an absolute metric ton of Gears of War 3 news will be hitting tomorrow.  How do we know? We're psychic.

 Okay, maybe we're really not psychic.  Thanks to a tweet by Joe Graf from the Gears of War team, we now know that Gears of War 3 will take over your favorite gaming websites tomorrow.  Joe had the following to say in his tweet, "Tomorrow there will be so much #gears3 news, it will blow your mind".

I hate the date as I will be buying RAGE and possibly Resistance 3 during that time. I prefer the campaign for Gears more than resistance, but I can not get into third person shooter online play so resistance jumps ahead of gears as I love to play online shooters.

Still I know I will probably enjoy it immensly after I beat the previous mentioned and Uncharted 3, ESV, mass Effect 3, twisted metal  and the next call of duty. Man this is going to be the best fall for gaming this gen!!!

As a hardcore FIFA gamer i would have prefered if the game released a bit later and not conflict with FIFA12. Although the common sense says that epic games dont want to directly compete with the annual release of a COD game.  Does anyone else shares the same opinion with me??? 

Lets hope the beta is good.
