Gears of War

There are many titles that already are making an impressive library for the Xbox 360, and now Microsoft Games Studio is ready to release their next great title, Gears of War. Under development by Epic gamers, Gears of War is shaping up to be a must have title for the 360. Last Year at E3 we saw the first trailer which was nothing but a big tease. Then at the Tokyo Game Show we got to see the first actual gameplay video which took place in the same area as the teaser trailer now we are seeing the game in action. Gears of War was assumed to be a First Person Shooter, but after the TGS you can clearly see that the game is a Sci-fi action shooter.

Gears of War takes action shooter gameplay and the concept of survival horror to blend a new type of game. The main gameplay is tactical shooter basically duck and shoot. The action is going to be non stop and at times when you have successfully cleared an area that’s were the survival horror comes into play. Humankind is at war with this race known as the locust horde a race of aliens that live in the planets core. You take the role of Marcus or Dom Delta Company commandos, now the concept is of game play is that the locust horde are aliens the live in the dark so to survive you have to stay in well lit areas. If you enter the dark in any way you are completely vulnerable and this is how the game gets interesting if the next area is pitch black find something and light it up like if there is a damaged car near by or something explosive to light your way you then force the locust horde into the light were again you can duck and shoot and have a level battle field.

We haven’t seen if this game will have any puzzles to solve, we’ll have to see about that one. The camera control is third person control, but some instances you will have to go first person if you’re zooming in with your gun. From what we have seen the game play that has to do with all the shooting plays a lot like the new Ghost Recon for the Xbox 360. Well Microsoft is promising a great game and it looks like it is headed in that direction lets see what happens we’ll keep you informed especially after this years E3 expo.
