"GEARS OF WAR 3" WORLD PREMIERE TRAILER: "ASHES TO ASHES"

Cliff Bleszinski from Epic Games stopped by the Jimmy Fallon show tonight to show off the exclusive FIRST LOOK at the hotly anticipated Gears of War 3 video game. The Gears of War 3 trailer, "Ashes to Ashes,"!

“Ashes to Ashes,” the first trailer for “Gears of War 3.” Created in Unreal Engine 3 by the same team behind the iconic “Gears of War” video spots (“Mad World,” “Rendezvous,” and “Last Day”), the video captures a desperate three-way battle between Delta Squad, the Locust Horde, and the fearsome new Lambent.

Gears Of War 3 is to be released on April 5, 2011 in North America and Asia, April 7 in Japan, and April 8 in Europe and the rest of the world.

The music in the video is taken from Sun Kil Moon - Heron Blue. I put together a few screenshots along with the full track of Heron Blue for your enjoyment.

KIN a Windows Phone with Xbox Live messaging?

image

Today Microsoft announced two new phones, KIN One and KIN Two, to drop sometime in May. The two New Windows Phones will be centered around social networking, mostly, whereas the Windows Phone 7, due out in the Fall, will be much more.

Something interesting we spotted 14 seconds into the KIN LOOP video was “XBOX” as one of the Feeds with the number (4) next to it. I presume this means 4 new messages. Could we finally be getting a phone that will communicate with Xbox Live friends with ease?

Messaging your Xbox Live friends from another device is something that has been missing from the whole Xbox Live experience (At least an easy way to receive messages when you are away from home). Currently in order to communicate with Xbox Live friends while away from your console can only be done by PC and some Smartphone's but without any type of push notification. This looks like you will be alerted when a new message is sent to you via Xbox Live.

We’re contacting Microsoft on this and will update you once we find out more.
