Gears of War (Xbox 360, 2006)

G.O.W. by far is the game to beat. The ambience is down right spine tingling, the horde very well thought out, timing, pacing, duck and cover are a marvel to adjust ones self too. Weapons are simple yet effective, if the righteous quantities of ammo and spent shells are'nt enough to take down your antagonist then fire up the mini chain saw and hack through with abandon, the enemy shall fall, you will earn your stripes. This is my second purchase of Gears Of War, i lived the short life of Gears Of War 2 and realized how much i needed a "fix" from the first edition, money well spent, again. One can only hope that there is still enough life is the series for a third title, play end credits from G.O.W.2 and listen to what Marcus Phoenix's dad says at the end.....awesome. If it has been a while since you played the first game, like almost two years, then buy a used copy and try it again, it's freaking amazing at how good the story is, still!. OK C.O.G.'s, get er done.
