Our favorite source for Gears of War 2 news and rumors Has a number of updates, and we’ve compiled a few of the more interesting stories.
The Gears of War 2 Experience: E-Day Emergency Call is a marketing attempt to build anticipation for the upcoming Gears of War 2 release date. The idea by Microsoft Game Studios is to give gamers a toll-free number to call and record a message as “a terrified Seran on Emergence Day.” The number is 1-800-598-6379. According to the folks at teamxbox.com: “Get your friends to help and let loose. Remember, it’s E-Day, so nobody’s seen a Locust or heard of Delta Squad before. And bonus points for keeping the language fairly clean. We will immortalize the best five entries on our site.” You’ll need to agree to a few rules, so be sure to read through the official post. Think you’ve got a funny scared voice? Get your buddies together and come up with a skit of Gears of War 2 soldiers in peril!
Next up: the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition Energy Drink. Huh? ButtonMasher.com writes: “Microsoft and Demon Energy Drink are teaming up to run a promotion at the launch of Gears of War 2. The promo will include limited edition Demon Energy Drink cans and bottles as well as a competition to win the first copies of Gears of War 2 in the world.” Is an energy drink the most logical way to promote Gears of War Two? Can you picture a Gears of War 2 sniper, with a branded energy drink at his side?
Finally, UK Gears-heads got the opportunity for a weird deal: Gears 2 and replica gold lancer for £129. According to Xbox360Fanboy.com, “Not to be confused with the Gears of War 2 in-game gold plated Lancer, UK retailer gamestation is offering diehard fans the chance to own a replica gold painted Gears Lancer. The same toy Lancer that’s available exclusively on Amazon.com, but with a fancy gold paint scheme. If you’re interested in owning one of these bundles, you better start saving up already. The Gears of War 2 gold plated Lancer bundle (collector’s edition plus Lancer) will set you back a hefty £129.” How does that sound for the ultimate of Gears of War 2 toys? If you’re like us and can’t get access to the gold lancer, there’s still the good old blood-splattered black-and-gray replica. If you use your imagination, there are some really useful things you can accomplish with the fan-favorite of Gears of War 2 guns.
