Gears of WAr 3

We've seen a handful of modes in the first two "Gears of War" games, but I can assure you that none of them are like Beast, a new mode in "Gears of War 3." It's a remarkable blend of 3rd person action, strategy and co-op that makes it the mode I'll probably kill the most time (and Cogs) in.

RROD

A study last year claimed that the Xbox 360's infamous red ring of death was occurring less frequently, but Microsoft's new Xbox 360 that was announced at E3 this week appears to be phasing out the warning feature altogether.

"Now obviously, the box has a way to communicate to you if something has happened...but yes, three red lights are not part of our sequence of telling somebody something is wrong," Microsoft Game Studios corporate VP Phil Spencer told IGN. "Obviously if you look at the success rate of the original 360s, we're very proud of both the way the company stepped up to support the customers that we had as well as the success rate we have with the box today."
