Abstract: Epic have really outdone themselves this time. They have always managed to produce great games but there were little niggles in the first and second Gears titles that detracted from the overall experience. With the first game it was the sluggish respon...
Abstract: To call Gears of War 3 one of the most anticipated games of the year for the Xbox 360 is a bit of an understatement. Microsoft has been throwing Gears parties for months to create a frenzy and it appears their work is paying off. More than one million ...
A great single-player campaign, and a wide variety of multiplayer modes mean you won't run out of things to do, Good variety of fun weapons and ways to use them, The classic formula still works, Beautiful graphics, A siege battle with multiple layers? So much fun, One of the most important characters in the series goes out with a whimper, not a bang. It's entirely appropriate, Multiplayer is ful
There are still some questions left unanswered, Some of the enemies are more annoying than scary and/or satisfying to fight, Sometimes the game's levels get bogged down in fetch quests, The dialog is often stupid, The underwater scene was so close to Episode One I kept expecting to see a Gungan
Should I buy the Epic Edition?The game can be purchased in multiple flavors, and the price goes up with each successive edition. We were sent the $150 Epic Edition for review, and this rather large package came with goodies that should appeal to the hardc...
Abstract: Oh, Gears of War. How I hate that I love you so. I have to admit that I had a deep hatred towards shooters for a long time. I refused to play them. I always felt they were pointless distractions that did nothing for gaming as a whole. Then, like some h...

Exhilarating new multiplayer modes like Beast and "Horde 2.0;" fourplayer coop is a welcome addition; imaginatively grotesque Lambent Locust creature designs; bolder narrative this time around.
Campaign feels like Gears 2.5 at times, rarely tossing us something we haven't seen before; new characters are somewhat underdeveloped .
Abstract: It's not often you get to witness the 'end' of something, especially when you've actually been a follower from the beginning. That's not to say that there won't be more Gears games - the never ending money train works in mysterious ways - but in terms ...
Abstract: There’s a pretty good story behind the action here, mostly dealing with Marcus Fenix. Following the decline of Jacinto from Gears 2 (18 months later), he’s still haunted by the fact that his father Adam has perished due to the uprising of the Locust...
Gears of War 3 represents state-of-the-art design and gameplay where you become the king badass among a gory world of bad-asses. Every third-person, cover-based shooter from here on out will likely be compared to Gears 3, and it provides a fitting and ...
Abstract: Gears of War defined a console generation, but in 2011 it has almost become a victim of its own success. The signature third-person cover system has become commonplace, and plenty of its tropes have become weary from third-party overuse, such as the ne...
