Oh snap! Oh. Oh it's ON now. Electronic Arts Montreal general manager Alain Tascan laid a little smack down on the competition.

What is Gears of War? I mean Gears of War brings nothing in terms of innovation to the shooter... Like, zero. Only two very brave UK-based journalists said, 'You know what, Gears of War is a great game but it's like what Quake was a few years ago.'

Dude. Army of Two had better be the best game EVER or you're going to hear about this for a long time.

Tascan admits that he hasn't actually played Gears yet—and neither have I—but is in essence calling out the industry for being putting graphics before gameplay. I can get behind that, Alain, but you really ought to focus on your own game a bit more. Michael McWhertor
