Gears of War 3


$60.00 Released April, 2011

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Lots of changes from the past two games, not just some generic level add-ons. Graphics are detailed and rich, a feast for the eyes. Weapons are interesting and the variety adds a lot to gameplay.

The Cons:So different from the first two games in the series that fans of the originals might have wished for more of the same. Retro lancer is overpowered and too friendly for completely new players.

Gears of War 3 is an upcoming video game by Epic Games and Microsoft Game Studios. It is a sequel to the 2008 game Gears of War 2, and is exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform. It features a brand-new "Beast Mode", new weapons, and a playable mech suit.

Product Shot 2 The Beast Mode is a multiplayer mode that allows a player to play as one of the Locusts, fighting COG members. The game also brings in several new weapons to the series, including the Pendulum War Era Lancer (which has a normal bayonet as opposed to a chainsaw bayonet), and the One Shot, a recoilless rifle that can kill any enemy with one shot (as the name implies). At various intervals throughout the game, the player is given control of a mech suit, which uses machine guns and a rocket launcher for weapons. It also has two modes of play. In assault mode, it is controlled as a standard character, while in stationary mode, it can be used as cover for allies. When compared to the previous game in the series, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 has some advantages, including more multiplayer mode options (such as the new Beast Mode).
