Is this the first "Killer App" for the 360?

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: The killer app to the XBox 360 has emerged in the form of Gears of War. This third person shooter offers contention for Game of the Year 2006.

The best game ever

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2007
Review: This game is the best game ever. I considered it to be equal to Halo or even better. The graphics, gameplay and plot are amazing. Every little detail is shown in the game. The plot is decently long and the online play is even better.

Emergence Day is finally upon us...Gears of War!

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: If I had to tell somebody one game they had to play before they died I would say Gears of War. It's got the whole package and more!
Review: Every so often the gaming world gets a truly amazing title. The big names like Halo, Zelda, and Metal Gear Solid. Well those were some of the standouts from the last generation of gaming consoles but now we are moving into the next generation. The...

The Turning Gears!!!!

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Can get frustrating at times, but aside from that it's a very good game that is the closest FPS to the Halo series.
Review: Story Plot

A gear of War is about a squad trying to defeat an alien horde who has objective is to destroy Earth.

Game play
Fast paced, non-stop action that forces you to think on your feet. The battles are fast that you...

Blood and Gore Galore

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: BUY THIS GAME! it is fun and yet very challenging. And getting a monster with a chainsaw is always fun.
Review: What do you say when you have seen something or done something that is just absolutly amazing? Usually nothing, but in this case something must be said. This new addition to the XBOX 360 arsenal is flat out amazing. With all the hype surrounding...

Fun shooter, but it seems short.

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2006
Review: This was one of the games that helped me decide to get an Xbox 360 last year, and it is all it was hyped up to be. The graphics are outstanding, and the action is intense. The story could have been better, but it doesn't take away from the actual...

Things that make you go BOOM - Gears of War

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: There's no reason not to have played this by now, rent it or buy it cheap. Either way, it's a win-win situation here.
Review: With the excitement and major hype surrounding the release of Gears of War 2, the few people left that hadn't played its 2006 Game of the Year predecessor were left wondering what was so great about it. A lot along the lines of the success that Halo...

If you liked quake 4, you'll luv Gears of War

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't purchase this game for retail, if you just plan to play the single player campaign mode. This game is OK, but doesn't meet expectations.
Review: I got GOW as a holiday gift. I thought I would enjoy it because I like shooters, and GOW had rave reviews on gaming sites. I am new to the xbox 360. I had only played a few select "Games of the Year", before loading GOW, which might explain my less...

Gears of War

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you like fps games and enjoy blowing thing ups, try this out. This game is addicting and has great online and multiplayer modes along with challenging difficulties.
Review: Story: This story is about a COG (which is Coalition of
Organized Governments) soldier named Marcus Fenix who was
sent to prison for disobeying orders and saving his father.
Marcus is eventually broken out of jail by a fellow Gear and...
