Gears of War 3 is going to rip!
Too bad we have to wait until next holiday season before we get our hands on the game! But, the good news is that EPIC is releasing a playable beta version of the new multiplayer mode. I also read that they plan to roll out with dedicated servers, which will improve the online experience.
If you want to see a video preview of the Gears of War 3 multiplayer mode, as well as the new, wicked weapons, check out:

I voted, and there were some really difficult choices in there. I mean, just look at the action game of the year category, for example. Every single one of those games is brilliant.
Thats the problem I had, some categories were easier then others personally Role Playing Game of The Year was the hardest for me to decide
