Tonight at 11pm PDT, Microsoft Games Studio and Epic Games will be releasing the FIRST gameplay footage from the follow up to the epic Xbox 360 exclusive Gears of War tonight!

If you were a fan of the original, or wondering what else the current generation systems can crank out, in terms of gameplay, graphics, and AWESOME, stay tuned to Beer.com tonight, because we'll be posting a video of the footage for you to salivate over.

Gears of War 2 is going to be the next big step in gaming - if you thought GTA 4 or Halo 3 were big, just wait until the release of Gears of War 2.

So check back here later tonight to see what the Xbox 360 will have to offer later this year - it's Gears of War 2!

UPDATE: WOW this looks great. Once we get past the developer talking about the game, what we see is jaw-dropping, and a definite improvement on Gears of War. I can't wait. In fact, I might just hold my breath for the chance to snap the neck of a locust and drop him off a moving vehicle.

How psyched are you about this? Let me know below...
