Does a children’s charity fund justify killing a video game character? Anthony and Benjamin Carmine died in Gears of War 1 and 2 respectively without any such charitable conundrums. Will Clayton Carmine meet a similar fate? Knowing Xbox Live’s typical audience I can’t say the outlook is very good.
It’s hard not to root for Carmine’s survival, in my opinion. In fact, if Gears of War 3 ended up being a Saving Private Ryan style movie, where the COGs were forced to search and bring home the third brother after his brothers were killed in action, I would be quite pleased. Likely though, we’re talking about a five second sequence near the beginning of the game where Carmine either get shot in the head or doesn’t.
Still, charity is charity, so find some change in your couch and purchase a Carmine T-Shirt come July 29th. Gears of War 3 is aiming for release on April 5, 2011 for the Xbox 360.
Which way are you going to vote, Ranters?
