Well, it’s official, Gears of War 2 is coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 in November. Yes, this November. Yes, I know that’s still a pretty freaking long time away. Use it to starve yourself and save up for that new HDTV. Read up on the 120Hz technology, while you are at it. Gaming gods demand nothing less.

As previously announced, Fable 2 is also on the horizon, and, as just unveiled at the GDC, this time around you’ll be able to play a pregnant woman. Ok, so not necessarily in that order - you can play a woman, and THEN she can become pregnant. No labor mini-game is in the works, though. Good thing too - having just watched my wife deliver a baby a month and a half ago I can only shiver uncontrollably as I imagine what that horrendousness could have looked like.

In other news, MS also announced that people will now be able to publish their games on XBL via a peer review process. It’s called XNA Creator’s Content. Hmm, no labor mini-game for Fable 2…. ability to publish own games on XBL… no labor mini-game in Fable 2… ability to publish own games on XBL… Geez, are you thinking what I am thinking? Talk amongst yourselves while I go warn my poor wife to never ever visit XBL again….
