    Best Shooter Ever Made

    Gears of War is simply the best shooter ever made. If you like shooters and have a 360 then you should own this game. The game is best played in two player Co-op. If you don't have a friend to play with it is still an excelllent single player game. The thing that is different about Gears is that it has a well implemented cover system. It isn't just the controls for going into cover it is the level design that makes going into cover and killing incoming enemies a lot of fun. The game has recharging health and it doesn't short you on ammo. There isn't a huge variety of guns, but the guns it does have look awesome and work effectively. The environments are varied and while the story isn't deep the characters are pretty awesome. The game isn't very long, but the coop has a lot of replay value and there is an excellent multiplayer mode which still has a lot of people playing it. If you have a 360, you should own this game.

      Good GoW, Y'All! 0

      It's my personal opinion that games just don't have the same magic as they used to.  It could be that we're breaching too close to reality with the looks, and realism effects and character models based on people we recognise might be taking things a little too far.  Many games, particularly shooters have become a little tired and predictable.  I'm very glad to say that I don't find this to be the case with Gears of War.  Made by the Unreal Tournament team, there was never a chance I wouldn't pla...
