Gears of War 3 Review

October 9th, 2011 No comments

Gears of War has been a great game since it started and the latest version Gears of War 3 is no exception. The gameplay and graphics are top notch and it’s a blast to play alone and with friends.

I finished the campaign in about 1 week on hardcore (playing a couple hours a day) and enjoyed it greatly. After beating the game on hardcore it unlocks insane mode and I have to say, it’s insanely stupid. In insane mode you can not be revived so once your down, you’re dead. In isane mode the enemy can kill you with one shot, but you can not kill the enemy with one shot, it’s unfairly setup and not even fun. You have to stay in sniper mode and forget about melee, which is not how I like to play.

I would say try insane mode if you want to get frustrated, stick to hardcore for a good (fair) challenge. If they make the enemies have stronger weapons they should let you have stronger weapons too!

The game really shines in horde mode and I love the new ways to earn money for kills in order to fortify your base after each wave. Co-op gameply is awesome in horde mode!

The Game Press Rating

The Good: Gameplay, graphics, and co-op play.

The Bad: Hud display can be in the way during co-op gameplay, insane mode is “insanely stupid”

Red Faction: Armageddon by THQ

Red Faction: Armageddon by THQ

Think you have what it takes to save Mars? Red Faction take into the action like no other! You can destroy pretty much everything in the game and then recontruct what you destroyed if you need to. It’s an amazing experience to be able to destroy a building and then rebuild it as needed.

Fight aliens from vehicles and on foot using amazing weapons that I’ve never seen before in a game, such as the magnet gun (smash two objects together), singularity cannon (makes a black hole), and the rail driver (shoots through metal). You can destroy buildings and reconstruct them as will, which is very unique and enjoyable to play.

Bonus Gun Alert: If you finish the game you have the option to play a new Game Plus, which unlocks all weapons and a new weapon called the Unicorn Gun. This Unicorn gun is super funny, but extremely deadly. Watch the video below to see for yourself.

The Game Press Rating

The Good: Destroy, rebuild, and then destory again. The best destruction engine and amazing weapons.

The Bad: Shorter then expected.
