According to the news post on Xbox 360 Fanboy, Germany and Japan have decided that they do not want what's probably going to beone of the great games of this year in their countries. Both countries have failed to give the game a rating so Gears 2 will not be distributed there at all. Apparently Gear of war was banned in Germeny but not Japan. Even though Gears 2 will have gore and explicit language filters Japan felt it was just too much. Sucks for those guys IMO.

While these could have been two news announcements I felt it better to combine them. First off, Bungie has released a full trailer for their Halo 3 expansion, Halo 3: Recon. It can be found at Bungie.net. This add-on to Halo 3 will not feature the Cheif but insead will have you playing as an ODST Recon Marine. Should be some interesting stuff.

Secondly, Microsoft has announced a release date for the new xbox user experience. Otherwise known as the new dashboard. We all seen some pics and videos of it but on November 19th, barring any last minute issues, we'll have it delivered to our XBox. You can read a little more about it at joystiq.com.
