Anyone else's mind immediately wander to Blood Bowl?
Yes. But immediately after that my mind went to everyone on the human team failing the drug screening tests.
... That's probably true.

I can see the reasons for doing this, but I still think it's sad. Yes, slapping a big brand name on what is essentially upgraded shovelware will increase sales, but... the connection between GoW and sports is so flimsy that it's painful.
Yes well, so is the connection between Warhammer Fantasy and American Football.

Thrashball actually sounds like a really good fit for Kinect.
Agreed. Would be even better if u could pick what delta squad member to play as
With unique stats and all.
I agree!! The girl gears could be better in speed while the male gears in strength. Maybe Baird and Carmine could be maybe 50/50?

One Carmine would be defensive, the other offensive. Of course, knowing the rules to thrashball would help us in speculation...

And Baird gets a bonus when teamed with Cole, and vice versa.

i /facepalmed to this....

if for one second you thinked they would make gears of war a sport/ kinect game, then you my sir, you do not deserve to be on the internets to share that close minded head of yours...

With the sucess of Gears of Wars 1....

And the epicness of Gears of Wars 2...

....would they really change the whole gameplay into a sport "gears of war" themed game? Commoooooooon... you thinked that? really? reaaaally?

Dear ScrewAttack.com,

Okay, so it isn't Rare. You called that one wrong. But seriously! Stop doing these humorous countdowns of the year's "upcoming events" because they keep coming true, albeit not on the scale you predict.

(For the uninitiated, they predicted the announcement of Killer Instinct 3...as a Kinect dance title)

Seriously though? Meh. But then I love the Mario sports titles.

That's just Microsoft ripping off Sony. The PS3 was always full of wasps, and now everyone wants to cash in on the fad.

Cookie for reference.

True again. I suppose the GoW sports kinect thing could be as fun as Blood Bowl, but only if the franchise took a timeout from taking itself seriously (which is what makes Blood Bowl work).

Who knows, maybe I just find the idea of Blood Bowl (albeit similar) more acceptable because to me, American Football looks silly at best, seeing how I'm German and that particular sport isn't big over here.

This made me lol my pants.

I wouldn't be surprised if number 4 was true. He'd probably get away with it too.

Some of these are effing hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

On topic: How the hell would Gears of War work as a rail shooter? It barely works as it is, but removing that tiny element of self-directed gameplay [shuttling from cover to cover] would turn it into a shooter where you shot approximately every 5 minutes.
