Xbox.com is showing that the Gears of War Annex update will go live today at 4pm PST. Make up your mind Microsoft. More Gears of War news: 4 new maps will come out that will be pay to play at first, but if you hold out for a couple of months they'll become free to the masses. Boo yaka.

Annex Details Released

Details of the Annex update have been posted. The bug fix plus Annex update is this Monday, April 9th. It's a King of the Hill style game play. New features we will see on Gears:

• Respawn - Now you can come back from the dead every 15 seconds
  
• Private Slots - Now slots can be reserved for friends

Hopefully a lot of the glitches are fixed and new ones aren't introduced. See you in the Gears on Monday Eric.
