Bulletstorm’s had plenty of attention here on TSA, but it’s about to get one more post, and it’s a bomb and a half: the Xbox 360 version will come with a beta version of Gears of War 3.
This, of course, will require a little bit of further outlay for Xbox 360 owners – you’ll need to purchase the so-called ‘Epic Edition’ to qualify, but if and when you do you’ll get access to the public beta for, and I quote, the “spectacular conclusion to one of the most memorable and celebrated sagas in video games.”
“With these two highly anticipated triple-A experiences comes a unique opportunity to do something to really excite players,” says the press release just issued, “and that’s what we intend to accomplish with the support of Microsoft Game Studios and EA. This is for the shooter fans.”
In addition to the Gears 3 beta, the Epic Edition grants exclusive Bulletstorm content when playing online, including 25,000 experience points, visual upgrades for their iconic leash, deadly Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor.
But, yeah, whatever. Gears of War 3. Who said there was no more news to come this year?

Now this is a dilema… up until now I had no real interrest in Bulletstorm (seemed a lot like Unreal Tournament 3, which I already own). I do love Gears 3 though…. :|

Well if the online turns out to be solid i’ll be getting this on 360 any way so, added bonus i guess. Not a huge fan of gears online though. But it’s good to see the Epic are doing a gears beta this time, maybe the multiplayer wont be broken this time.

Best tell my xbox mates, who’ve probably never heard of this game.
Now I know why this game will sell – its nothing to do with bulletstorm itself, which is a shame.

First Person Shooters for are always much better on the PS3 thanks to the availability of the Eagle Eye Converter – so I’m just going to have to miss the Gears beta and wait for the full game. I still haven’t finished Gears 2 yet so probably best anyway!
