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 ...

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

Its odds-on to become the most exciting game of the year for Microsofts next-gen hardware - just take a look at these new screens to check the games impressive form for yourself. Set on a ruined, alien-infested Earth, Gears of War is an all-out bullet-buffet.

Feb 23, 2006
What will the future of tactical shooters bring? Gears of War knows the answer: pain. Gears of War puts you just over the right shoulder (third person style) of former soldier Marcus Fenix. Marcus has been brought out of "retirement" (a polite way of saying "sprung from prison") so that he and his crew can battle the Locust Horde, a bizarre army of monstrosities that have clawed their way out of the underground in order to eat people and destroy their stuff. Unsettling, yeah...but what's so ...   » Read Full Gears of War preview

Truth is, developer Epic is still keeping Gears of War wrapped up tighter than Michelle Marsh in a cling film dress. But brand new information on one of next year's hottest 360 games hasn't been impossible to find. Not by a long shot. So it's time to tear this tasty shooter apart even more. First up, missions. We've already seen three extraordinary levels: the first was set inside the ruins of what looked like a temple; the second was under cover of darkness and involved an approach to a ...   » 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
