Why you're actually playing as the bad guys in...

PC Feature | Gears of War

Brave humans battling valiantly for the bright future of their world against a soulless alien horde? Not at all.

59 levels to play before you die: D - G

PC Feature | Gears of War

2007's worst kept gaming secrets

PC Feature | Gears of War

18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry. It's a business which tries to shroud itself in secrecy, but whose patrons congregate ... » Read More

The Epic tradition

PC Feature | Gears of War

Oct 26, 2007 Inside an office in sunny Raleigh, North Carolina, Epic vice president Mark Rein settles back into a comfy seat. "It all started way back in the stone age," he begins. "You know, Tim Sweeney started the company in his parents' basement in Maryland." Today Epic is out of the basement and has the two monster-sized games Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War (PC) in development. Outside of Mark's office, staff members play on the Epic basketball court, others help themselves to a ... » Read More

PC: The Ones to Watch

PC Feature | Gears of War

Most notable was the introduction of Microsoft's Games for Windows - Live initiative, but there have already been several high profile releases on the platform. So much so that when we went back to our 2007 PC Game feature we almost had to halve it, as many games were already on sale. But that's okay because there are plenty more waiting for their chance to conquer the charts. Here's what you should be spending your money on in the ... » Read More

Your vision for the future of war - Gears of War 2

PC Feature | Gears of War

A few months ago, our sister mag in the UK - Xbox 360 World - asked readers to design a weapon for Gears of War 2. The response was phenomenal. Seriously, who wouldnt want the chance to see their pride and joy slice open/rip apart/decapitate/disembowel Locust scum? Some kind of robo-hearted android, thats who. Plus, the winner nabbed an HDTV, a 360 and some Gears goodies. Only the thought of a Locust having its spleen ripped out by your weapons of mass redemption kept those Brits warm as they ... » Read More

We recently managed to snatch a few moments with gaming's best-groomed designer at the Game Developers Conference, where he nabbed three awards including best game for Gears and took to the podium to tell a gushing audience just how he thought up the UE3 chainsaw madness.
