Quantum Theory (still can't figure out why it's called that) is a little like Gears of War, Gears of War, Gears of War, and maybe a little RE 5, Clive Barker's Jericho, and Gears of War. You're a ripped-as-shit manly-man man, and you and your sexy side-kick have to stop something that's probably really bad from happening...
Gears of War has a lot to answer for. We haven’t even seen the game on PS3, nor are we likely to, but its influence is keenly felt in many games. Whether it’s Resident Evil 5’s alternate control set being tweaked to handle more like it or a blind-fire mechanic stealthily creeping into Killzone 2, Epic’s game has had many admirers try to replicate some of its traits.
Not one to develop exclusively for PS3 or work in the third-person shooter genre, Japanese developer Tecmo has simultaneously broken two of its traditions with Quantum Theory. Let’s get the obvious out of the way, this looks like an art nouveau version of Xbox 360’s cover-fire based Gears Of War. Not a bad thing. PS3 could do with a hulking, no-brainer blast.
