There is a reason that they picked Anya.


The COG government has basically fallen apart because of Jacinto sinking, so now all of the soldiers and everyone have become members of the stranded. There aren't many actual soldiers left so they need everyone possible. Hence why they have Anya now.

She also apparently has battle training and it seems her mother was a COG frontline soldier that trained Dom's older brother and Marcus.

Gears of War 3, sweet. So far away but looking forward to seeing gameplay from it! Loved the previous two. First one definitely had a huge impact on the action games of this generation. And it took some inspiration from RE4 so credit goes there too.

Hoping for good footage at E3!

Yep.
Read the books if you really want to know why they 'picked' Anya. There is a crazy amount of backstory for a large number of the characters.

I'm sort of surprised they didn't have her have a much larger role in the first game but I suppose some of that backstory wasn't fleshed out yet.

I liked the books, they're a pretty decent read and a lot of fun if you found the story in the games to have too many holes.

When was the last time a GI cover had a game without shooter elements?

Does Portal 2 count? Or L.A. Noire? They're shooter lite at best. Otherwise, issue 200 back in October had a number of different games, most of which weren't shooters, and Epic Mickey the month before that.

Oh man, the cover looks fantastic! I want it for my desktop wallpaper without the gameinformer logo.
EDIT: thanks Dennis!

Gears 3 MP wish list:

- STABLE NET CODE PLEASE!!! (host = Jesus in Gears lol)
- bring back Player Match
- make movement as quick and responsive as it was in Gears 1
- make the shotty like it was in Gears 1
- remove stopping power and grenade wall tagging (they're just lame)
- balance/ nerf the power weapons (they're just too strong)
- focus more on close quarters combat, rather than big, open maps

If they improve horde mode I'll buy it day one. randomized encounters in horde mode based on some kind of difficulty algorithm please.

This +

- Bring back the server list with the connection quality indicated

Gears is no fun when it's laggy.

Really?
Is this your first time in this kind of threads?

The threads are not about the actual cover, but the fact that being in the cover means ..a good amount of (possibly new) info, screenshots, etc..that the coverart is good or not, and that some might like it enough for a wallpaper is another thing..but the threads are always about the info inside the magazine...not about a game being awesome because it was in some cover..

Read it at a GS yesterday


- SMG2 had points deducted because of its challenge but it was mentioned there were 240 stars?

- Monster Hunter Tri is called archaic and the reviewer bemoans the lack of a lock-on

Oh, they must be retards for giving Galaxy 2 a paltry 9.25 out of 10. What an atrocious score...

Optimistic about the LP2 score :D

-Do something about the spawns, spawning at the two opposite sides of the map is fine at the start, but any other time, always seemed kinda awkward to me.
