It's almost time for our Gears of War 3 Game Night, starring the Bitmob crew, the fellas from AREA 5...and you!

We'll be logging on tonight at 6 p.m. PST/9 p.m. EST for a few hours of fun, mayhem, and Shoe swearing at people. If you want to join us (and really, who wouldn't?), look for these gamertags on Xbox Live:

• Dan "Shoe" Hsu: Bitmob Shoe
• Demian Linn: Bitmob Demian
• Jasmine Rea: ReAg3nt
• Rus McLaughlin: Sybarat

If you're new to Gears of War 3, you're in luck: Bitmob community writer John Michael has spelled out some basic multiplayer tips just for you. And other community members have been pumping out great articles for our Bitmob Wants You callout, as well.

For those about to play: We salute you.
