Decide the fate of Carmine

The fate of Carmine lies in your hands. For the first time in franchise history, Epic Games and Microsoft are giving fans the chance to decide the fate of a character in 'Gears of War 3'.

By purchasing avatar gear on Xbox Live Marketplace, fans and gaming communities around the globe will decide the destiny of the newest Carmine brother set to appear in 'Gears of War 3', with all the proceeds going to the Child's Play Charity.

Keeping with the series' tradition, Clayton Carmine will be introduced in the trilogy's final chapter and, like Anthony and Ben, the newest rookie brother runs the high risk of meeting an early death. However, unlike in the previous games, the Xbox community will choose whether Carmine lives or dies by purchasing special 'Gears of War 3' avatar gear on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Starting 29 July two new avatar T-shirts will be available on the Avatar Marketplace on Xbox Live. One shirt reads "Save Carmine" and the other reads "Carmine Must Die". By purchasing the "Save Carmine" shirt, you're casting your vote to let Carmine live in 'Gears of War 3'. Conversely, purchasing the "Carmine Must Die" shirt means you want to see Clayton follow the fate of his brothers.

The trilogy final will release on 5 April, 2011, only on Xbox 360. Fans can get up to date information about the fate of Clayton Carmine by visiting www.gearsofwar.com.
