Gears of War

Gears Of War set the benchmark for all others to aspire to on Xbox 360 and it's been a long old wait for PC gamers to finally get their hands on this piece of virtual art. But now they can fully immerse themselves in a truly beautiful third person shooter that brings a whole new feel and meaning to the shooter genre.

As Marcus Fenix, a disgraced former war hero, you're out for personal redemption as you lead your team against an onslaught of merciless warrior fiends. And let's not beat about the bush here - breathtaking graphics, an incredible Unreal game engine, and a revolutionary tactical combat system make this unlike anything you've ever played before.

After ten hours of gameplay you'll be hankering for more, but every minute that's gone before will be additional justification - if you needed it - for being so excited about this for the last 12 months!

Multiplayer adds a whole new dimension with this game being the dominant title being played out on Xbox live over the past year, finally beating Halo 2 off the top spot. Eight players can battle it out in two teams on ten maps with three different game modes to keep players busy long after the single player campaign has finished.
