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...

Gears of War 3 - I expected more, but not bad

Pros new execution moves, gory, fun shooter
Cons story was disappointing, multiplayer turns into shotgun only fests a lot
Recommended it? Yes

The Gears of War series has found plenty of success on the 360, and the first two games were fun both in single player as well as multiplayer.  Unlike Call of Duty which many gamers play for multiplayer with single player basically being an afterthought.  I enjoyed the GOW series...

Pros Fitting conclusion to the main story.
Cons Doesn't do anything new, I'm stuck with Jace for most of the game...
Recommended it? Yes

If a simple glance at a calendar didn't already prove it, gamers everywhere would still know we're in the latter stages of 2011. Like every year, game publishers have once again waited until the last quarter's holiday season to bury game lovers in an avalanche of triple A titles. One of the biggest... Read full review »
