The start of the Gears of War 3 beta, the latest third-person shooter from Epic Games, is not too far away. In fact, it's only a week away for some people. If you bought the foul-mouthed shooter Bulletstorm for the Xbox 360 back in February, then you can start chainsawing Locust hordes in the Gears 3 beta starting this coming Monday, April 18.
Those who haven't picked up Bulletstorm, but instead pre-ordered Gears of War 3 from their local GameStop have to wait another week to join the fraggin'. GameStop-ers can queue up the Gears of War 3 beta on the following Monday, April 25.
No matter which camp you are in, the Gears of War 3 beta concludes for everybody on Sunday, May 15. Either way, this still allows for plenty of giblets to fly across your flatscreens.
