Gears of War

 

Showcased way back at E3 2004 as a tech demo for the Unreal 3 engine, Gears of War (GoW) has managed to garner quit a bit of attention for itself. As time passed by, Epic kept throwing tit-bits of the game at us, till E3 2005 this year when they...

Now even though I’ve praised this game no end, it still has a few flaws—like a lackluster story, retarded dialogs, linear gameplay and not to mention, it’s painfully short, but all this doesn’t stop GoW from becoming a game every action buff must own....

Truly Epic

Great game...

Excellent game, the best I've played so far. Very new engine that allows freedom in movement; the campaign with different difficulty levels; multiplayer capability is an added value that remains force in time.

One word....epic!

I had my doubts on whether or not I would play the game. Normally I dont play this type of game. But I saw it for a cheap price at Gamestop..so cheap I couldnt refuse. So I gave it a try and oh my god...I dont know why it took me so long finally pick...

Gears of War (2007) DVD for PC

Gears of War (2007) DVD for PC: GOW is one the best games I have ever played. I originally played it (as well as GOW 2) on the Xbox 360, but sold my Xbox to get a PS3. I wanted to play GOW again and it took forever to find it at a reasonable price....
