Blending unmatched twitch-action with an incomparably oppressive atmosphere and multiplayer that will monopolize your broadband for months, Gears of War is the game the 360 was designed to play. Talked up for months in a marketing campaign whose cost undoubtedly dwarfs the gross national product of most third-world nations, we can safely announce that Gears of War delivers on the promises developer Epic has made. Here's how it suckered us... Gears of War zigs when you expect it to zag - where ...
Us versus them
We mercilessly mow down screaming Gears of War fans
Oct 6, 2006
Finally, after months of reading about what our trusted brothers across the pond had to say about Gears of War multiplayer, we got the chance to saw through some chumps of our own. At a special fan event held by Microsoft at theaters around the country, we were forced to sit through The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (which sucked in a hugely gory, but wholly-rehashed-horror-movie-we've-seen-a-million-times-before way). After the film, however, Microsoft redeemed itself spectacularly by ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview
Gears of War - X06 hands-on
Microsoft's most anticipated fall release makes an impressive showing in Barcelona
Sep 28, 2006
We stole the chance to play Gears of War at the X06 event at Barcelona, and our playtime reinforced two things: this game is destined to be a system-seller, and it's time for Microsoft to show us something beyond the first level. The game at X06 was shown in three different set ups: single player, two-player co-op and a 4-on-4 multiplayer match. The single player demo consisted of the same starting level we had played before at E3 and in Leipzig, which introduces ex-con Marcus Fenix as he ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview

May 12, 2006
After gushing over Microsoft's demo of Gears of War yesterday - it's one of the most exciting shooters we've seen for ages - today we finally came to grips with the game by bashing out some multiplayer action. Shepherded into a special room by Microsoft, away from the mad bustle of the E3 shop floor, we were set up in a 4-vs-4 deathmatch. And we kicked ass. Developer Epic calls Gears of War a "stop and pop" game, because of the huge emphasis on taking cover from a constant stream of attacks. ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview

May 11, 2006
Microsoft has released a new gameplay video and shots of Gears of War, its dynamic new shoot-'em-up for Xbox 360. The new video shows how the use of cover is vital for surviving any confrontation with the Locust Horder - a race of creatures that have emerged from the center of the Earth with the destruction of mankind firmly on their agenda. The footage also illustrates the incredible detail in the design of Marcus Fenix, the lantern jawed war hero that is leading the human assault on the ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview

Is sci-fi Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War the next Halo (before Halo 3, anyway)? If our hands-on time with the game in a team deathmatch is any indication, we'd have to say “hell yes.” In a special, extra-large room of its E3 pavilion, Microsoft dropped players into 4-on-4 matches between the human Cog faction and the alien Locust Horde. Play was round-based, like Counter-Strike; the match wasn't over until one whole team's forces had been eliminated. Players on both teams used the ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview

Gears of war oh gears of war one of the best shooting bloody action game that first hit the xbox 360.
But is it realy that good well yes but also no.
The problems are that it is to goddamn short and that the the characters look to fat and run slow as hell the other problem is that once you beat the game you won't want to play it again.
The solo/co-op story missions are a little drag but the multiplayer is what gives this game the golden globe award it has lots of other random idiots you can join and saw them in halve.
what i recomend is if your going to buy this game you better have xbox live or lots of freinds your else your going to be fucking bored.

The Easter Bunny says Gears of War + Xbox Live = fun fun fun
