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...

Halo Reach: Not a Sinner, Not a Saint

bykjell1979 Dec 28, 2010
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros decent balanced gameplay, even harder, matchmaking, story, lots of weapons
Cons not that much new, a few design issues, no weapon customization, short campaign
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up Halo Reach a couple months ago. I traded it for Red Dead Redemption on swap.com. I'm not a huge Halo fan. I played Halo 2 quite a bit, but I could never get much into Halo 3 and didn't bother with ODST. However there was a lot more buzz surrounding this Halo game more so than in recent...

Addictive, Slick, and Downright Amazing: Halo Reach is a Wonderful Farewell.

Pros EVERYTHING: one of the best games around.
Cons None worth mentioning.
Recommended it? Yes

Side Note:
When I say "a wonderful farewell", I do not mean that this is the last ever Halo game. However, this is the last ever Halo game by Bungie, the brilliant little company that has been working on Halo for all these years. Microsoft will find a new branch to continue the Halo series,...
