Truly Awesome Game.

It's here that you truly realize what a masterpiece Epic has created in Gears of War. Yes, it's the most gorgeous looking game on the Xbox 360, period. Yes, the sound design is worthy of awards. Yes, the game is fun as hell. But playing with a friend, as you bark flanking orders into your headset over Live, or across the room during a system-link game, or right next to you in a split-screen campai... read more

This is game is loved by most gamers. It is one of the most popular video games. To tell you the truth, it is not a great game by any standards. I have gotten to like it a little more than I used to, and now I think it is pretty fun game. the online is pretty fun, but the single player isn't as fun.I think the graphics are great, and the story is good also. I might rent or maybe buy gears of war 2... read more

Description: Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter where the player controls Marcus Fenix, a member of Delta Squad, to save the human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from an enemy known as The Locust Horde. The story, played over 5 acts with 30 chapters in total, has the humans reunite their strength after fighting over cheap en Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter where the player controls Marcus Fenix, a member of Delta Squad, to save the human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from an enemy known as The Locust Horde. The story, played over 5 acts with 30 chapters in total, has the humans reunite their strength after fighting over cheap energy in the Pendulum Wars for many years, to face this new alien threat.

Unlike many other shooters, the emphasis is not on brute violence, but rather team-based actions and cover-dependent tactics. Gameplay requires to look for cover options all the time, from which the player then attacks, along with turns and rolls to quickly pop out. By holding a button, a "roadie run" is performed, to sprint to another location. Marcus is part of a full squad, but another human player can take on the role of Dominic Santiago to fight cooperatively (split-screen, system link or online). At times, the paths will even be split up to face different challenges. Players can only hold two weapons, a sidearm, and a few grenades. There is a selection of submachine guns, sniper and assault riles, grenades, grenade launchers, and pistols, but the main gun is the COG Lancer Assault Rifle, which can also be used as a chainsaw bayonet in close combat. There are also a few exotic weapons, such as the Torque Bow with explosive arrows, or the Hammer of Dawn, to make an orbiting satellite fire a laser at targeted enemies.

All weapons need to be reloaded manually. By timely pressing a button on a meter, the weapon is reloaded, with more damage and at a faster rate with perfect timing, or it gets jammed when timed poorly. Instead of health bar, the game has the Crimson Omen, a cog-shaped icon that fills up with blood when the player sustains damage.

Next to the Co-op multiplayer, there is also Versus, with three game modes: Warzone (deathmatch), Execution (deathmatch, but with the addition of certain "fatalities" to take out enemies completely) and Assassination (team played focused on killing the opponent's team leader).

The Windows version includes 5 new single-player chapters, 3 multiplayer maps, new game modes and a game editor (not present in the 360 version). Games for Windows Live support is integrated as well, but it does not feature cross-platform multiplayer games. ... (more)

"Love it, but a couple scenes may have been a bit stupid, like how Fenix just became sergeant even though he had just joined back up with the service, and when Fenix and Dom kept falling from high places and somehow living. Great action and stupid but fun story, though. "

"This is Ironman!"

“(Also in 2005....)

Anyway.

For some reason, I didn't put this on the list, but this *is* odd, because I do remember wasting a significant amount of time on this shit.

I mean....

This is just ugly crap.

*I hate it.*

I mean, "James" here, disgusts me.

What trash.

Ten Beloved Games That Just Aren't For Me. (10 games items)

" I know people love it. I've heard from many how great the story is supposed to be. I want to like it. Chainsaw guns seem cool and make me think of Warhammer 40k. The art style is gritty, detailed and awesome. But I'm not a big shooter fan, and when said shooter seems to have minimal depth and the supposedly great story line revolves around a man named "Marcus Fenix" with a roided out physique and a penchant for words like "sweet" you can color me disinterested. I have little interest in playi"
