    The End of an Epic Game.

    Gears of War 3 is the finale to the Gears of War trilogy. For those fans of the shooter genre, you can't go wrong with this. The experience earned from the last two games all comes together to make this the best game yet. This game will last you about a week on campaign and a lot longer on the various multiplayer modes. The co-op is great, and what makes this game fun. Up to four players playing the campaign.

    This is also one of the first games to start charging a lot for DLC. For this, it's something as long as you don't fall into the trap of doing, you are reasonably safe. A "Season Pass" is available for those who want to prepay for the promised DLC maps and more campaign storylines for a discount later on. Personally...I'll wait.

      Gears of War 3(Xbox 360) by apocralyptic on September 23, 2011

      As a critic, I’ve found the most challenging reviews to write involve games to which I have a particular emotional attachment, and this is certainly the case for the Gears of War franchise. As long as I’ve had an Xbox 360, Gears of War has been a constant and dependable companion. Sure, every once in a while I’d run off and have a fling when a sexy new Call of Duty game came along... but once the thrill wore off, I’d realize all those new frags were meaningless, and soon I’d be stomping Locusts ...

      Gears of War 3(Xbox 360) by mistermollusk on February 18, 2013

      Once upon a time I chainsawed the hearts of a riftworm and rode a rampaging Brumak through Locust-infested caverns. The good memories I have of Gears of War 1 and 2 are those of exciting set pieces while the bad memories I have are any point where they try to flesh out the story and characters. We're all familiar with the commercial where Marcus is running through the destroyed city as Mad World plays in the background. Gears 3 feels like it tries to take that "war is Hell" motif too seriously ...
