Ever since the first mention of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, we’ve been seeing tech demos of Epic Games’ masterpiece, Gears of War. Now that the game has hit store shelves, it’s obvious that the hype couldn’t exceed the brilliance that is the Unreal Engine 3.0. In Gears of War, you play as Marcus Fenix, a former war hero wrongly imprisoned by the government and now, the world’s lone hope. Combat the Locust Horde on the dilapidated streets of the planet Sera using a variety of machine guns, pistols, and grenades. Take the fight online in one of five unique multiplayer modes, and tackle the main campaign with a friend using online or split-screen coop. Less

Pros
deep gameplay, great online multiplayer, tremendous graphics and sound
Cons
story could use more depth, could use some more diverse multiplayer options
Recommended it?
Yes
Gears of War is the title to have if you own an Xbox 360 this Christmas. Still one wonders whether this title is just a placeholder until Halo 3 comes out. Ironically this would be similar to a situation last generation where Epic released a surprisingly solid Unreal Championship for the original...

Pros
The meat, potatoes, side-dish and the dessert!
Cons
Story needs some explaining, single campaign is short, no replay value.
Recommended it?
Yes
I do not want to sound like a prick. I do not want to sound like a bastard. But I must tell you the truth. So here it goes: Gears Of War is fun as hell and whoever that doesn't have it...should well, let's say you'll be missing out on a lot! Gears Of War has been highly anticipated over the year...

Pros
Intense, fun combat, interesting survival mechanic, vehicles, weapons, awesome enemies.
Cons
Controls are a bit quirky.
Recommended it?
Yes
A while back I went on one of my post payday store runs, and was deciding on which game to choose. I read up on some reviews, and ran across Lost Planet, a game in which you not only run and gun, but fight the clock as you essentially freeze to death. Well, we've hit a bit of a cold snap down here...

Pros
Excellent physics, lots of mechs, mostly fun gameplay
Cons
wonky controls, too many bosses
Recommended it?
Yes
There is no shortage of shooters on the Xbox 360, but that didn't stop Capcom from making yet another one. This one, however is a little different. It has a much more Japanese feel to it than your traditional shooters. Does it live up to the best of them? Does it bring anything new to the genre?...
