If you check your calendar, you may notice that November 7th is rapidly approaching. Some may note that as the 8th anniversary of Al Gore's defeat to George W. Bush, or maybe you're a bit older and can remember it as the 20th anniversary of Sugar Ray Leonard KO'ing Donnie LaLond, or if you're really really old, you can celebrate Franklin Roosevelt's election to his record 4th presidential term. Chances are though that you just know it as the Gears of War 2 release date. 

Epic has been doing their part to get everyone "geared" up to get their mitts on the much anticipated sequel, and today they bring us another behind-the-scenes video, this one entitled, "Delta Blues". Gamer favorite Cliffy B, Rod Ferguson (Gears Senior Producer) and Mike Capps (Epic President) chat about the new additions to Delta squad and provide some really cool insight into the planning that goes into creating characters for the Gears universe.

Check it out:

I think the real stand-out for this sequel will be the addition of Dom and his lost-love storyline. Although Gears was great, it did seem to lack that emotional punch that seems to help a good shooter become great (think Bioshock, or the nuke cinematic in COD4). Are you ready for the second emergence?
