In case you missed the memo, Gears of War is friggin' fantastic. It's big, brutish and bloody. It's a no nonsense shooter and it's out in shops today.
In celebration of 'Emergence Day' we've crawled from our holes to bring you a list of the essential stuff that you absolutely have to check out on your first Gears of War session.
So, grab your COG togs and get stuck into the action...
Chainsaw
So, you've got this gun called the Lancer, right, and it's a good gun - it can waste Locust scum from a decent range and spits bullets at a rapid rate, but it's a cheeky little temptress that can get you in some seriously sticky situations.
You see, it's equipped with a chainsaw and, in case you didn't know, chainsaws on the battle field are fun. So much fun, in fact, that in moments that require cool thinking, you're overwhelmed with an irresistible urge to rev that baby up and charge in like a demented lumberjack in the hope of ploughing a fleshy trough in someone's chest.
But, believe us, its well worth the risk for the carnage it causes.
