*update* The song in the trailer is called “How It Ends” by the band DeVotchKa

Gears of War is a hardcore testosterone filled game. So needless to say when the first Mad World themed trailer came out for GOW2, I was a bit surprised, but it worked SO WELL!

Now a new trailer has come out another great song (I can’t find the song’s artist, sorry), and I have to say that it makes me want to play the game now.

Here is the old Mad World trailer, case you missed it.

I did play the first GOW, and I was un-decided with my feelings on it. I sorta liked the story and I sorta liked the game play, but I HATED the clunky controls. I stoped playing after the first berserker boss because the controls kept doing the opposite of what I wanted (I did beat the boss). I guess I could give it another go, my Assassin’s Creed needs trading in anyway :3

I actually went over this video two times because I was rather impressed with the details they are putting into controlling your character in-game. When I played GOW, there were a lot of features that turned me off from the game. This including the ducking and dodging especially. I never got to play the game through all the way but I might just give it another go so I can get the whole story before playing GOW2.
