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

Gears of War: All around me are familiar faces. Worn out places, Worn out faces

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...

The best initial title for the Kinect? (Lean & Mean Review Challenge)

byHawgWyld Jan 18, 2011
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good use of motion controllers; a fun kart racer made better with the Kinect controller
Cons Can't control speed of vehicles; the cars pretty well perform similarly
Recommended it? Yes

Welcome to my entry in the Epinions Lean & Mean Review Challenge. Since the point of this write-off series is to keep things short and to the point, I'll honor the spirit of the event – if you own a Kinect for your Microsoft Xbox 360, you need a copy of Joy Ride.

Why? Joy Ride is a... Read full review »

Nothing too special

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good for kids
Cons Can get a bit slow and boring. Not as fun as other kinect games.
Recommended it? No

Not a bad game but it can get boring fairly quickly. Do full body stunts, go crazy and have fun. Race and be silly. That's what this game is good for. If you're after a game that will mean hardcore, adrenaline and fast action packed racing, this isn't the game for you. This is more appropriate for... Read full review »
