CliffyB done with Gears

"You've just got to let your baby get on the school bus and hope for the best," says lead designer

Not long now - less than four weeks - until Gears of War hits our HD tellies. Lead designer and man of style Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski has revealed that his work on Gears is now "more of less done."

Speaking via his personal blog, CliffyB said: "My job as designer of Gears of War is, well, more or less done. I can't speak to the status of gold or shipping but those of you familiar with development know that at a certain point you've just got to let your baby get on the school bus and hope for the best."

CliffyB recently revealed the 360 shooter will ship with ten multiplayer maps instead of the originally announced eight, pleasing chainsaw-toting deathmunchers everywhere.

More on Gears soon.
