UGO Games Blog writer Locke Webster had a chance to play through Act I of Gears of War II and sounds off on with his first impressions and some delicious info on what to expect from the opening act of the blown out sequel Epic is creating.

Nearly everyone I know is waiting impatiently for Gears of War 2 while I sit here with my mouth clamped shut. You see, not only have I played the game, I’ve beaten it. And I only have a handful of other people that I can talk to about it. Just last week, Microsoft invited about 30 journalists to tear through a near-final build of Gears 2 with over a month remaining before the game’s release. While I can’t even begin to give you my overall impressions (due to embargos and NDAs), I am allowed to dish a little on a few parts of the game. Namely, the opening act.
