Gears of War 3 is the last game in the Gears of War trilogy to follow the story of Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago, and the rest of Delta Squad. It was released on September 20, 2011, and it brought the story to a well-deserved close; a story which, along...

Gears of War 3 was amongst the most anticipated titles of this year, and with good reason! The Gears franchise both reinvented the way that players view the classic third person shooter genre, and prompted developers to up their game when it came to...

Small refinements make for a much smoother gameplay experience, Graphics which outclass most of its contemporaries, Excellent & varied multiplayer modes.
Doesn't introduce many new gameplay elements, Feels somewhat familiar in places, Slightly underwhelming ending given the epic scale of the overall story.

The best shooter you’ll find on any console. Great new weapons and enemies. Easy on the eye. Beast mode and Horde 2.0. Pretty much everything not listed under 'downs'.
The cutscenes are appalling. Irritating, one-dimensional characters. Vehicle levels and boss fights still grate. May cost you your job/relationship/tan.

It's hard to believe that it's been five years since the original Gears of War released on Xbox 360, less than a year after the console's release. And while the series has certainly matured over the years in a number of ways, it hasn't necessarily unde...

In terms of singleplayer this can feel a little too much like Gears 2.5, while you're in the wrong place if you're hoping for fully-fleshed out new characters, but it still manages to be a grander narrative than before. Multiplayer is where Gears 3 rea...

It’s not often a studio proclaims the end of a blockbuster franchise at the pinnacle of its popularity, but that’s exactly what Gears of War developer Epic Games has done. The third entry in the American company’s smash hit series of third-person shoot...

Lengthy campaign ties up pretty much every loose end in the trilogy. Fourplayer cooperative mode provides ample reason to play and replay story missions. Deep multiplayer filled with fresh modes and unlockable status rewards will keep fans playing for months.
The fourplayer campaign has resulted in a slight but noticeable drop in difficulty. Narrative won’t do much to clam up series detractors who like to lay into the franchise’s penchant for soapy melodrama.
Epic Games saved the best for last, delivering a satisfying concluding campaign with mammoth cooperative play as well as the richest, deepest competitive multiplayer experience in the series. There’s no denying it’s fast-food storytelling (our tree-tr...

Exhilarating new multiplayer modes like Beast and "Horde 2.0;" fourplayer coop is a welcome addition; imaginatively grotesque Lambent Locust creature designs; bolder narrative this time around.
Campaign feels like Gears 2.5 at times, rarely tossing us something we haven't seen before; new characters are somewhat underdeveloped .
