First Look: Gears Of War 3

Epic Games has released the first trailer for Gears of War 3, which was officially announced last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The clip shows Marcus Fenix and a newly bearded Dominic Santiago battling Locust in an ashy wasteland. There's a quick shot of a female COG, which Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski confirmed via Twitter was Delta Squad's dispatcher, Anya Stroud. There are also shots of a horrifying tentacled beast and a wicked shotgun.

The clip ends with a release window of April 2011, though an April 5 release date has since been revealed.

If you aren't already following Bleszinsk's Twitter feed, you may want to start doing so. He's been updating it regularly, including a recent entry that confirms four-player co-op throughout the game's campaign.

Sony PlayStation Move sub-controller to be called Navigation Controller

PlayStation Move sub-controller was officially named PlayStation Move navigation controller.

The wireless and untethered controller hosts directional buttons, two shoulder buttons as well as an analog stick. It allows for intuitive navigation of the XMB menu and in-game characters. It’s integrated rechargeable Li-ion battery allows users to charge the controller and automatically pair it with the PS3 through a USB cable.

It can be used in most PS Move games that call for in-game character navigation and replicates the DualShock 3 wireless controller. The official update is supplemented by similar information which turned up in the FCC’s database that Engadget spotted recently.
