While Crytek's CryENGINE2 proved it can render nirvana for lovers of vegetation in Crysis, Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 is taking the honor of having the most realistic water physics to date. Not only will Gears of War 2 on the Microsoft Xbox 360 boast of the most convincingly real water movements, it will also get you addicted to throwing objects at bodies of water just to see amusing splash results.

You can see Unreal Engine 3 in action by watching the video below, where you'll find out just how good Gears of War 2 is shaping up to be and learn more about dynamic fluid surfaces.

Now that the sequel to the explosive third-person shooter is out, we expect to hear more about improvements on technology that will help Gears of War 2 leap further than its predecessor. Be sure to check back for updates!

» Well...

I will be so happy the day it becomes illegal to rip the names of products by simply using one word different (Gears instead of God). Think of your own damn names Microsoft, stop ripping other peoples stuff for once in your pathetic life.

» What?

First off God of War and Gears of War are to completley different games, second this game is funded by Microsoft created by Epic, why does every damn thing have to be about ps3 vs 360, get both and be happy...
