Boomer Gears of War Tip

Boomer is not a new enemy for Gears of War 2, but the Boomer does have some new variations. The normal Boomer still uses a Boomshot, still says Boom before attacking, and still will kill you with one shot on most difficulty levels, so take cover!

The Grinder uses a chaingun and has a square helmet. The Grinder isn't going to kill you in one shot, but he is very though and can still kill you quickly. You're usually best off dealing with him at long to medium range with heavy weapons.
Flamer Boomers are basically the same as Flamer Drones but bigger and tougher. Like the Flamer Drones they can be killed quickly if you manage to puncture the fuel tank on their back.
Maulers use a big flail which has an AOE attack and they also have a shield to protect them from gunfire. You can use grenades against them or you can spread out your squad in order to flank them. Just don't get too close because getting hit with the flail means lights out.
Another melee Boomer is the Butcher. He has a big cleaver. These guys are actually pretty easy to deal with. Just pour fire into him and he will go down, and he is too slow to catch up to you.

Gears 3

Microsoft has officially lifted the veil off of Gears of War 3, announcing it'll be released on April 5, 2011 in North America, April 7 in Japan, and April 8 in Europe and the rest of the world.

Gears 3 naturally picks up where Gears of War 2 left off, taking place after the destruction of the last human city on Earth and telling a story of "hope, survival, and brotherhood that will conclude the current story arc for Gears of War." Note the careful choice of the words "current story arc." In other words, don't expect this to necessarily be the last Gears of War game the world ever sees.

Xbox 360 Elite

Best Buy also jumped into the bundle action. $299 will net you either a PlayStation 3, packed with Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time and Littlebigplanet: Game of the Year Edition, or an Xbox 360 Elite with the Pure/Lego Batman dual pack, along with four additional games: Wall-E, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

Gears of War 3

Gears of War fans, get ready to start the hype train yet again: Gears of War 3 is official. Not officially announced but official nonetheless.
The news comes via the cover of Issue #238 of Electronic Gaming Monthly (shown here), the one which marks the return of the publication, set to arrive December 1. Though the only version of the cover -- published on EGM's Facebook and Twitter pages -- is small in size, zooming in on it does clearly show "Gears of War 3" as one of the items covered inside.
