I'm not a N00b at Gears

Gears of War (x360) Short Review

Smithy (lead game programer) - Gears Of War

Next generation games aren't just about amazing graphics as Gears of War certianly proves, despite the fact that Gears leads the way in terms next gen graphics, the number one thing that makes Gears so real is the gameplay.

The new stop and pop cover system makes the 3 shots and your dead rule possible. the fact that you can stick yourself to any piece of debris and then fire a few rounds duck back under then either dive for the next closest cover or jump over the wall or spring out and run like hell dodging rounds of fire, can amount, 95% of the time, to some great chainsaw kills

oh yeah and I forgot to mention that your default wepon is equipped with double bayoneted chainsaw...

And for that reason this games gets 98%
