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

Tom Clancy's Special-Ops simulator returns, this time, to the congested streets of Las Vegas. Rainbow Six: Vegas is a reinvention of the classic series with a greater focus on action and quick-thinking tactics combined with a robust, genre defining multiplayer mode. Unrelenting enemy AI challenges you to be quick and precise with your trigger finger, whether you're battling baddies in the dark, labyrinthine alleyways off the strip or taking down drug lords in an opulent penthouse suite at the top of Caesar’s Palace. Customize a robust arsenal of advanced weaponry using laser sights, silencers, and sniper scopes. As a member of the elite Rainbow Six, it’s your duty to make sure that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. 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 »

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 Tight multiplayer, fantastic online community and battle hardened gameplay that works.
Cons Incredibly too much like its predecessor.
Recommended it? Yes

Before I truly throw myself down for this review, you've got to understand something. When I first bought my (now cherished) Xbox 360 I had just one game: Rainbow Six: Vegas. There were plenty of games I could have fawned over and missed class for, but they had to wait. The lavish environments of... Read full review »

Pros Great gameplay, awesome graphics, good single and multiplayer.
Cons Can be glitchy online, occasional freezing

This is the first Rainbow series game I have played. The first Tom Clancy game I have played was GRAW2. I am fairly new to the Xbox 360 (March 2007), but the first game I bought for it was GRAW2. My brother-in-law talked me into getting Rainbow Six: Vegas, which I am glad he did. It is another Tom... Read full review »
