Is the world tired of GoW?

April 17, 2013 at 9:00 am | 39 Comments

Last month saw the release of two should-be blockbuster games from Microsoft and Sony respectively. Each abbreviated as GoW; the latest Gears and God of War are prequels and the fourth main entries in their respective series. Both have silly subtitles, and both have failed to live up to retail expectations.

Are you good at Gears of War?

March 25, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 5 Comments

Now that Gears of War: Judgment is actually out and you’ve all been playing the really good Survival and Overrun modes, perhaps with a dash of free-for-all – perhaps now is the time to try and entice more of you to join Xbox South Africa’s upcoming Gears of War Tournament. Kicking off next month (giving you time to brush up on those Gnasher skills), the tournament gives you the opportunity to win some pretty awesome prizes.

Win a really big 3D TV with Gears of War Judgement

March 4, 2013 at 9:30 am | 19 Comments

Look at your TV. It’s probably a puny 32 inches wide. Scoff. Scoff to the max. All the ladies are going to laugh at you, and you have no one to blame but yourself. Still, it’s not too late to regain some measure of pride, because alongside Microsoft SA, we’re going to give you the chance to win a much larger, and three-dimensionallier TV set. All you have to do, is know your Gears of War.

Xbox South Africa is bringing you yet another tournament of awesome. They’ll be hosting the first Gears of War: Judgment Tournament in the country and the prizes are pretty damn awesome.

Meet the Booska–The Gears of War Noobtube

Possibly the most irritating aspect of the old Modern Warfare 3 title was the noobtube, or to give it the real name, the grenade launcher.

Editorial: Random thoughts on a Thursday

Today has obviously been PlayStation 4 day across the industry but this morning while I was gathering information around the PS4 I noticed a few little things that I wanted to write about.. I’m not sure why but I just needed your input into this.

Just before quitting time last night Microsoft released a brand new Gears of War: Judgement multiplayer trailer which blew me away. Here is the breakdown of everything we saw in the trailer and what we are most looking forward to.

The Kinect Gears of War game that never was

February 15, 2013 at 9:00 am | 5 Comments

Past rumours have suggested that there was, at one point, a Kinect exclusive Gears of War game headed for the Xbox 360. That game was apparently called Gears of War Exile, and would have you using nought but motion controls. Some figured it might be an on-rails shooter – while we thought it could work better as an RTS. Looks like we may have been right.

Cliff Bleszinski says Gears 2 MP was his biggest regret

February 11, 2013 at 11:00 am | 9 Comments

Cliff Bleszinski is a game developer who polarises the public like no other. I know local journalists who actually despise the guy and yet others, like myself, think he is an absolute godsend to an industry full of introverted developers and (lack of) personalities.

FFD: What’s this generation’s best franchise?

February 8, 2013 at 10:30 am | 145 Comments

We’ve previously tried to see what this generations best franchise is, based on critical reception – but now we want to find out what real-life gamers think. Since the beginning of the 7th generation we’ve seen some pretty amazing game franchises.

Judgement’s “The Guts of Gears”

January 23, 2013 at 9:30 am | 14 Comments

If there’s one Xbox 360 exclusive that I’m looking forward to this year, it’s Gears of War: Judgement. Of course, that’s because it’s the only Xbox 360 exclusive this year – but I’m actually keen to see what Bulletstorm and Painkiller developers People Can Fly does with the franchise in epic’s stead.

Gears of War: Judgement campaign trailer

December 11, 2012 at 7:45 am | 21 Comments

For those of you who stayed up all night to watch the VGA’s this trailer isn’t anything new but for those of us who love our deep and unbroken sleep then you’ll be happy to know that the trailers from the VGA’s are leaking out onto the Internet and the first one I ran to was the Gears of War: Judgement trailer.

Is someone buying out Epic Games?

December 5, 2012 at 9:00 am | 1 Comment

What is happening over at one of my favourite studio’s of all time, Epic Games? The guys behind the massively successful Gears of War series and a ton of other top content are haemorrhaging senior managers faster than Eskom's prices increase.
