Gears of War

Game Info:

Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games using Unreal Engine 3.0 technology and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Gears of War was released for the Xbox 360 on November 7, 2006 in select stores in the United States and was broadly released in major U.S. retailers on November 12, 2006. This day was dubbed "Emergence Day" by Epic Games. Gears of War was also released on November 17, 2006 in Europe outside of Germany (where Microsoft Game Studios did not publish the game after it was denied a rating). A limited collector's edition was also released, which included a disc of bonus content and an art book titled "Destroyed Beauty" that detailed much of the game's backstory.

Gears of War centers around the soldiers (nicknamed Gears because they fight for the COG, short for Coalition of Ordered Governments) of Delta Squad as they fight to save the human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from the relentless subterranean enemy known as The Locust Horde. The player takes on the role of Marcus Fenix, a former prisoner and war-hardened soldier. In cooperative play, the second player plays as Fenix's loyal friend and fellow soldier, Dominic Santiago. The two soldiers join up with Delta Squad and battle the Locust Horde through the course of an action-packed campaign.

The game achieved major success after its release. On November 20, 2006, Gears of War became the most popular game on the Xbox Live service, overtaking Halo 2, which had held the spot since its launch in November 2004. It was named the GameSpot Game of the Year. As of January 19, 2007, just ten weeks after its debut, over three million units of the game have been sold.
