Gears of War 3 concludes an excellent trilogy with engrossing cooperative play, taut competitive action, and a masterful campaign. ...
Abstract: Gears of War is arguably one of the most iconic franchises in contemporary gaming, and essentially helped solidify the Xbox 360 in the burgeoning console market. Gears of War 3 marks the end of a saga that first began in 2006. While the series is far ...
Abstract: Touted as the final in the trilogy, Gears of War 3 has had the luxury of nearly three years in development. Anyone who’s played the previous two games will find a good deal of familiar ground here, but that is by no means a bad thing. Character dialo...
