by Xav de Matos, Sep 23, 2011 11:00am PDTWith Garnett Lee on vacation in Tokyo, it's up to Jeff Cannata and Xav de Matos to run the big show. Thankfully, comedian Christian Spicer and Machinima.com editorial manager Billy Shibley are on hand to discuss everything from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution 'The Missing Link' DLC, Kirby Mass Attack, additional thoughts on Resistance 3 and Gears of War 3, and more. We also take nearly two segments worth of questions from the Shacknews community and Twitter. In the end, we wrap it up with a short news segment and the return of Finishing Moves.

I'm never been a huge fan of the competitive multiplayer in Gears. I played the hell out of the first one, since it was basically the only viable and active multiplayer shooter on the console till Halo 3 and CoD4 hit, but it always felt kinda loose and janky to me.
I LOVED the campaign in the first Gears of War though, and for my money, neither of the sequels offer the same mix of atmosphere, great set-piece battles, memorable (ie, not annoying) boss battles, and solid pacing.
Horde Mode 2.0 however, is fucking godly. It might be the best tower defense game ever made, and is so much fun with 4-players. Amazing that after every shooter ripped off the original Horde mode, Epic is still the ones showing everybody else how frantic, team-based battles should be done.

Also, people are still learning Horde 2.0 apparently. When they DO build fortifications, they run out in front of them and die. There's some strategy to be had to this, ie, the Locust will attack you outside and not inside your stronghold, thus you don't have to repair your fortifications and can go straight to upgrades, but that's not what I'm running in to.
