Next Gen continues to churn out some great articles. They recently spoke to Cliffy B from Epic about Gears of War. Say what you will about the often colourful Cliff, he’s definitely got some interesting game ideas. I met him briefly at E3 2000 too and he’s just a lot of fun to talk games with, cool guy.

One thing this interview doesn’t mention is that he’s tried to integrate some of his ideas on what makes a good horror game into Gears of War, having played a bunch of horror titles and often been disappointed. So it’s a gorgeous yet gritty third person tactical horror shooter title with a professionally authored sci-fi script? Sign me up.
