As you all know the season of fall has started! This means AAA Games galore, I felt like I should do something new and fresh, I will be doing reviews for some of the hottest games of this holiday season. First one you may ask......GEARS OF WAR 3

 

Gears of War 3 follows the story of Delta Squad as they face the biggest thing of all...family. The game starts off in a dream sequence where you get to relive the scene where Marcus looses his father. The games then starts off a little slow but then moves into a fast paced action game! The first boss fight is pretty easy but as you press through the game you will face enemies that you feel are impossible to defeat. Act III to me is the best part of the game, but I am warning you, it is a tear jerking ending for that act. Without giving any spoilers it is safe to say that this campaign was a perfect example of closing out the trilogy the right way.

Multiplayer is what truly makes the game shine also! After spending extensive time playing through every single versus mode there is I feel the made the multiplayer versus component perfect. There are also many characters that you can unlock through preforming certain tasks which adds gameplay value. Then there are medals, just think of these as a beefed up version of Halo nameplates on steroids! In Gears of War 3 we got introduced to a new mode, Beast Mode. This is where you take the role as a Locust and you have to mow your way through 12 waves of COG and stranded. This to me is the best part of the game because you can play as just about every single type of Locust we know of. I am hoping for them to add more waves in the future! Horde 2.0 introduces a new type of economic game system where you buy a base and then build upon it (Think of it as buying land). Truly the best map for playing Horde on is Sandbar because of the many turrets and bases available. Also you can upgrade your barriers, turrets, decoys, etc. The cool thing about that is when you upgrade them they level up and then that level lasts with you throughout the whole game.

 

Closing comments:

Gears of War 3 is truly an amazing game. In fact it hard to tell anything wrong with the game. I would recommend this game to anyone I know! I give this game a 10/10

Safe to start in Gears 3 as long as you watch the video it offers you.

I jumped straight in, after I played though, I started to get the storyline and what they're after. Also, there is this feature that summarizes everything that's happened so far. Into this video in the campaign section
