James Cameron is hoping fans will be wowed by his upcoming 3-D epic Avatar. But don’t expect him to reveal any secrets from his $240 million, computer-generated opus.

"You’re not going to find ‘behind the scenes’ extras on the DVD," Cameron says. "I think the movies aren’t the big, wonderful mysteries they used to be. I don’t want to see some guy in a black leotard and dots showing me how he made himself look like an animal."

He may be Hollywood’s most gifted tailor of cinema and technology, but Cameron remains a pretty old-fashioned guy. Until today, the director has kept his film as secret as a birthday gift – one he plans to present with 20 minutes of footage at Comic-Con.

Heads up, COG soldiers. Epic’s Gears of War 2 has just received its highly-anticipated fourth Title Update. The new update not only adds experience to Horde mode, but also fixes a variety of bugs, according to the update notes on the Gears forums. Aside from fixing some issues with the new cringe-inducing smoke grenades, the new update also tweaks the Wingman match type, doing away with some of the issues involving weapon spawning and a particularly nasty exploit where players could get credit for two kills while only killing one opponent.

Hopefully, this will fix some of the persistent issues plaguing Gears of War 2’s online component. So, grease up your Lancer and head out into battle. This weekend is chock full of XP, after all!

"With the recent trend of blockbuster games being packaged together (Game of the Year Bundle), it seemed that EPIC’s blockbuster ‘Gears of War’ series was missing out on its very own package.
