So BB has a video of the Lockheed P-791 set to epic music. I wonder if this is what Gears of War would look like if they, you know, stuck to biological science and real physics. Instead of monsters marching across the Scythian plains you’d have a cut-scene with an airship slowly rising from the desert floor and then a few guys inside drinking Cokes and talking about playing some XBL later. Then you’d zoom into one guy’s head and have to walk him to the ship’s onboard bathrooms for a slash.

How sad and stilted our game-lives would be without imagination.
