Ever since the first mention of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, we’ve been seeing tech demos of Epic Games’ masterpiece, Gears of War. Now that the game has hit store shelves, it’s obvious that the hype couldn’t exceed the brilliance that is the Unreal Engine 3.0. In Gears of War, you play as Marcus Fenix, a former war hero wrongly imprisoned by the government and now, the world’s lone hope. Combat the Locust Horde on the dilapidated streets of the planet Sera using a variety of machine guns, pistols, and grenades. Take the fight online in one of five unique multiplayer modes, and tackle the main campaign with a friend using online or split-screen coop. Less

Pros deep gameplay, great online multiplayer, tremendous graphics and sound

Cons story could use more depth, could use some more diverse multiplayer options

Recommended it? Yes

Gears of War is the title to have if you own an Xbox 360 this Christmas. Still one wonders whether this title is just a placeholder until Halo 3 comes out. Ironically this would be similar to a situation last generation where Epic released a surprisingly solid Unreal Championship for the original... Read full review »

Pros The meat, potatoes, side-dish and the dessert!

Cons Story needs some explaining, single campaign is short, no replay value.

Recommended it? Yes

I do not want to sound like a prick. I do not want to sound like a bastard. But I must tell you the truth. So here it goes: Gears Of War is fun as hell and whoever that doesn't have it...should well, let's say you'll be missing out on a lot! Gears Of War has been highly anticipated over the year...

Pros Graphics, gameplay, strong multiplayer, sound, pretty much everything...

Cons Except for the horribly short single-player campaign. And you can't lean.

Recommended it? Yes

One of my favorite games last year was Call of Duty 3, a World War II first-person shooter. However, there have been so many World War II games in the last few years that it's beginning to feel like we've fought the entire war twenty times over. So when Infinity Ward came up with Call of Duty 4,... Read full review »

Pros Graphics, deep and extremely entertaining multiplayer mode.

Cons Single player mode is particularly short.

Recommended it? Yes

Wait, where the hell was I when the other 3 COD's came out?
Anyone tracking my reviewing hiatus(And I pretend that anyone actually did) is probably starting to think that I locked myself in my room and played nothing but shooters for the last 3 years. Since I've already tackled Halo 3 and... Read full review »
