Gears of War is a classic cover-shooter that throws you right into a brutal war against the Locust Horde. You take on the role of Marcus Fenix, a tough gear soldier fighting for survival. The campaign is intense, and the over-the-shoulder cover shooting feels great. However, the story is pretty straightforward and the multiplayer, while fun, can be really punishing for new players. Still, chainsawing enemies in half never gets old, and for fans of action-packed shooters, Gears of War is a must-play.
