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...

Pros Beautiful new graphics, epic gun battles
Cons Still too much backtracking and environment recycling.
Recommended it? Yes

Aside from a few local multiplayer matches with friends and family, I haven’t played the original Halo since its release with the launch of the first Xbox. I was an early adopter of Microsoft’s debut console, and the only way to ensure I got a unit was to preorder one from the local EB... Read full review »

Halo's 10 Year Anniversary

Pros It's Halo in Hi-Def
Cons There's nothing new brought to the table
Recommended it? Yes

It’s the game that helped launch the Xbox brand and put Microsoft in the position it now finds itself in the games industry.  Believe it or not Halo was originally codenamed “Monkey Nuts” and was destined to be released on an Apple computer.  Something happened though... Read full review »
