Hear that noise? It's the sound of hordes of fanboys scurrying toward their local game store in anticipation of Gears of War 2. Why the sudden dash toward retail? Gears of War 2 has gone gold, that's why.
Developed by Epic Games, Gears of War 2 continues the adventures of Marcus Fenix and his ragtag team of military misfits in a quest to kick Locust butt. Promising a longer campaign experience than the original, Gears 2 has added more weapons, enemies and modes to give Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare a run for their money on the top of the Xbox Live most played list when it hits stores on November 7.
We're not pre-reviewing the game or anything but we're going to go ahead and assume it'll sell like cakes. That are hot. Hotcakes, if you will.

Although I have come up with a few on my own, this one is all Joystiq. I didn't make it.

feels a little too early to go gold, I mean they still have like a month left. They could be tweaking and fleshing out bugs, you know keeping on polishing it

and what, ship the game worldwide in a week or two? ha! not possible. games going gold like a month before are not rare. even if they are gold, they cans still work on patches like Lionhead with Fable 2.

Comic: Gears of War 2 is so gold, that white America is transferring all their 401K money into Epic Games stock. Which explains the current market crisis.
Blam!! Ouch*%*&
