| | What’s this generation’s most critically acclaimed game series? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 20th, 2012 | Though it’s probably still far from over, this generation’s given us some of the very best in video games. New IP’s like Gears of War, Resistance and Uncharted have changed the way we perceive games - and helped push gaming in to the hearts and minds of a wider, more mainstream audience. Such is the impact these games have had that many of them have become whole franchises within ... [»] |

| FFD: Do developers have the right to hold content back as DLC? | 
Nick de Bruyne - November 4th, 2011 | This week we saw the release of the Gears of War 3 Horde Command Pack, a DLC add-on that is by definition not downloadable content at all, nor is it additional content. That's right, a measly little 1.5 MB download simply unlocked a bunch of character models, skins, maps and more that have been sitting on the disc ever since the day ... [»] |

| Gears of War 3 DLC gives you more RAAM | 
Darryn Bonthuys - October 21st, 2011 | By now, you’ve saved Sera, won the battle and got the girl. And judging from what I’ve seen on Xbox Live, some of you maniacs have done it on insane difficulty. You’ve unlocked all the chicken-centric Easter-egg goodies, spent hours rampaging through humans as a berserker and generally owned the battlefield in team deathmatch.
So what do you do now? Why, you get yourself psyched for the upcoming DLC, which will have you in the human-slaughtering boots ... [»] |

| Bricks of War – LEGO Gears of War | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 18th, 2011 | The LEGO games, for the most part, have tended to be family-friendly casual affairs. Imagine for a moment, if they weren’t - which is exactly what Kooberz Studios has done. Only they’ve brought their imagination to life with this video go Bricks of War; a brickified video of Gears of War. It’s got everything you’d expect; lots of cover, lots ... [»] |

| Is this the greatest Gears of War tribute ever? | 
Darryn Bonthuys - October 12th, 2011 | Release a highly anticipated game, rake in the cash, then bask in all the accolades and fan tributes. That's a pretty standard reaction to any successful big budget game nowadays, and you’ll find yourself swarming with Deviantart sketches and cardboard cosplay.
It’s all in good fun though, but then you get some people who manage to really pull out all the ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - October 3rd, 2011 | MojoRising, the guy who posted up that massively indepth Gears of War 3 vault review has returned with another Gears of War themed post. This time it’s an incredibly detailed Lancer made entirely our of Lego. I stopped playing with Lego around the ... [»] |

| Cliffy B on Gears of War 3 DLC, Story-haters | 
Darryn Bonthuys - September 28th, 2011 | By now, you’ve probably finished the campaign mode of Gears of War 3. You’ve aced it on all difficulties, active reloaded your way to several victories online and have bested the worst that Epic can throw at you in 50 waves of Horde.
So whats a hardcore, possibly no social life at all gamer supposed to do now? Why wait for the DLC of course. Cliff Blezinksi recently ... [»] |

| Marcus Fenix to land in Mortal Kombat? | 
Gavin Mannion - September 28th, 2011 | VG247 had their secret spies out on the twitterverse (I died a little inside writing that) and have picked up on an exchange between the Gears of War head honcho, Cliff Bleszinski, and the Mortal Kombat boss, Ed Boon. Apparently in response to a fan question Mr Boon ... [»] |

| Competition Reminder : 3 Gears of War Vaults left! | 
Geoffrey Tim - September 22nd, 2011 | Yeah, So Gears of War 3 is out - and it’s rather darn good. You can celebrate its magnificence by adorning your Xbox 360 S with one of those sexy (and interactive!) Vault cases from Calibur11. They’re pretty pricy though, coming in at around R1000. Can’t afford to buy one? Hope you haven’t forgotten that ... [»] |

| Uncharted wouldn’t be the same without Gears of War | 
Geoffrey Tim - September 22nd, 2011 | Naughty Dog is, this generation at least, known and adored primarily for its Uncharted series of games. Previously, they were responsible for more whimsical, fantasy games like the Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter series’. That sort of comical, flippant ethos was meant to continue through to Uncharted - which was a very different game to what we know and love - until Sony ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - September 21st, 2011 | I know we have a fair amount of creative types who visit the site so this little video is just for you guys. Deviant Art managed to score a lengthy interview with a few of the top guys at Epic studios in North Caroline to discuss all things ... [»] |

| Gears of War Lore in a minute | 
Gavin Mannion - September 21st, 2011 | The Lore in a minute guys are back and this time they are taking on the Gears of War franchise. Now I normally really enjoy these but I have to admit this one leaves me feeling a little flat. Maybe the story is just a little complex for ... [»] |

| Resistance vs Gears–We have a winner | 
Gavin Mannion - September 21st, 2011 | With the final release* in the trilogies out of the way for Resistance and Gears of War it’s come the time to look back and see which next-gen IP walked away with the prize and which has been shunted into the corner to lick it’s wounds. Gears of ... [»] |

| There are 105 gun skins for Gears of War 3 | 
Gavin Mannion - September 20th, 2011 | One of the best inventions of this generation is the ability to developers to part a fool from his money in the form of useless DLC. I’m talking about things like overpriced Street Fighter outfits and skins for your weapons that do nothing but change the look of ... [»] |
