Sometimes it seems like developers are not interested in conclusions, rather they like franchises to go on for as long as they can. As such, the chance of the formula becoming stale increases with each installment. I hope that Gears of War isn't one of...

It's still the best third-person shooter out there by quite some margin but, equally, it's just not quite as impacting as its two predecessors. Long-time fans will be happy with how Epic has tied all the loose ends together, but dabblers in the series...

There's nothing quite like a good ending. And I don't mean good in the sense that everything turns up roses, because that's certainly not the case for Gears of War 3's cast of motley characters. What I mean is that things get resolved, have a sense of...

Epic have really outdone themselves this time. They have always managed to produce great games but there were little niggles in the first and second Gears titles that detracted from the overall experience. With the first game it was the sluggish respon...

The third installment in Epic's cover-based combat series brings Marcus Fenix's Locust-lynching saga to a satisfying conclusion.It's hard to believe that it's been five years since the original Gears of War released on Xbox 360, less than a year after...
Exhilarating new multiplayer modes like Beast and "Horde 2.0;" fourplayer coop is a welcome addition; imaginatively grotesque Lambent Locust creature designs; bolder narrative this time around.
