Platforms: Xbox 360
Genre: Action
Release Date: November 7
Marcus Fenix and chums are back to wreak havoc on the Locust in one of the year's biggest Xbox 360 releases. Cities are disappearing underground and a mysterious plague sweeps the planet. Only one thing can save us: drop-in, drop-out co-operative multiplayer, more vehicle missions, and very large guns. Wait, that's 3 things.
Why it's hot:
Come on. It's Gears of War. You have a gun with a chainsaw welded to the bottom. And you can cut dudes in half. It's tough to lose a hand when you're packing cards like those. Well, okay, it's pretty easy to lose a hand when you have a chainsaw welded to your gun, but you get the point.
Why it's not:
Haven't we already played this one before? It's going to take some real creativity from the boys at Epic to add a new spin to Gears of War's samey, shooting-gallery gameplay. Don't let us down.
