Having just sat through a breezy five minute introduction from Cliff himself, the assembled journalists have been let loose on the demo stations dotted around the adjoining room. ''What we actually wound up doing behind the scenes was having a lot of little tweaks to make sure that the player wasn't too empowered with the keyboard and mouse…we didn't want the game to devolve into how quickly can I get one pixel on another pixel, because that's really not what the game is about."
Indeed, it's an addition that posed quite a few problems for the development team, as Cliff Bleszinski, known simply as 'CliffyB' in gaming circles, attests to: This is the PC version of Gears of War and, as such, a keyboard and mouse is an essential addition.
