    Fried Locost anybody

    Plot:Gears of war is a 3rd person tatical shooter.What takes place on A fictional world called sera.You play the role of marcus fenix who is part of  a ragtag squad.The main focus of the plot is on The locust little is know about them and its up to you as marcus to kick some locust ass.But is is not as straight foward as is seem the story is full of twists and turns what can leave you thinking  !awsome!

    Life span:85% The capaign Life span is only around 8-10 hours mabye even less for pro's most of the game life span is in gears amazing  multiplayer what is no place for noobs.

    Fun Factor:90% Gears is hell of  alot fun what feel like a epic action film in part and will allways leave you satified no matter how much time you play it.

    Controlls:100% the controls have a slight learning kerb of about 10 minist but as soon as you overcome that its like second nature to you using the (a) button to interact with the enviroment

    Multiplayer:Multyiplayer for me is gears main strong poit with 4 gametype such as Warzon/Execution/Assassination and annex Gears is every thing you ever wanted in a mulitplayer game.
     
                 Warzone:Team Deathmatch

                 Exexution:Team Deathmatch but you have to do a close up Kill of Evecution.

                 Assassination:Kill the enemys team leader to win

                Annex:King of the Hill

    Final thought:Gears in my opinion is a must buy for any 360 owner

      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...
