Work beckons

So GDC has officially come to a close. While there has certainly been a great deal of interesting and varied discourse between developers and the media, the announcements for games themselves aren't particularly noteworthy. Some of the more interesting news includes:

- Gears of War 2 has officially been announced for the Xbox 360 with a November release. Smart planning on Microsoft's part as GoW2 can provide their system with some resistance to the Playstation 3's incredibly strong Fall and Winter lineups.
- Portal 2 is in the works, but they are hardly past the conceptual phase of development. Expect a longer wait. On a related note, "Still Alive" (the song played during the closing credits of Portal) is being released as a song for Rock Band.
- It would appear that PSN Home is further along than everyone thought. Some screenshots were shown and it looks near completion.
