Interview: Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Design Director, Talks Some Gears 2

cliff_dice2008 Interview: Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Design Director, Talks Some Gears 2Cliff Bleszinski is under a little pressure at the moment, actually a “fuck load” in his own words. Not only is he keeping an eye on porting Unreal Tournament 3 over to the Xbox 360, he’s also spearheading Gears of War 2 for a November release.
