Gears Of War Free Download Unfitgirl At a crossroads on the war-torn planet of Sera, you have a decision to make. Both paths are equally dangerous, with the Locust horde armed with explosive arrows and revving chainsaws, ready to tear you to pieces, either way. No, this debate is between you and your co-op partner as you argue over who will pick up that next COG tag, secret pickups that act as currency for heralded Achievements. It’s here that you truly realize what a masterpiece Epic has created in Gears of War. Yes, it’s the most gorgeous looking game on the Xbox 360, period. Yes, the sound design is worthy of awards. Yes, the game is fun as hell. But playing with a friend, as you bark flanking orders into your headset over Live, or across the room during a system-link game, or right next to you in a split-screen campaign, you realize that Epic has created the 360 game we all hoped for, and that Gears of War more than lives up to the impossible hype. And then you snap back to reality, remember that you haven’t picked up that COG tag yet, offer some kind parting words to your co-op partner, and choose to go left, because you’re Marcus Fenix, and Marcus Fenix goes where ever the hell he wants to. Gears of War takes place over the course of 36 hours on the planet Sera, what was once a civilized human planet of cheerful sidewalk cafes and flower-filled parks. No more. The population did not know that underneath every major city, the Locust Horde was digging. Underground monsters, of superhuman size and strength, with filthy complexions that could rival the ugliest of teens, the Locust are fearsome creatures. And on a sunny Sera afternoon, the Locust emerged. The loss of life was catastrophic, or so it appeared in the opening sequence. The soldiers of the Coalition of Ordered Governments, or COG, fought valiantly, but failed.Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

As the battle slipped away, COG soldier Marcus Fenix defied orders to try and rescue his father. He was caught and imprisoned. Fourteen years passed, and the Locust have closed in. As alien creatures take over Marcus’s prison, an old friend opens the cell door, gives Marcus a gun, and asks him rejoin the fight. Yes, Gears of War is a bit light on story. You are a soldier. There are bad guys. You must kill them. If fact, the only place you’ll find the story tidbits above are in the instruction manual — Epic assumes you already know all this. Without giving too much away, Epic does touch briefly on Marcus’s father and Marcus’s “sham” of a court martial, but this shallow story is a simple vehicle to drive the action. It’s the manner in which Epic introduces us to Sera that is so fascinating. Epic chooses to show instead of tell, using superbly directed cinematic sequences and bits of informative dialogue between Marcus and his fellow COGs: old mate Dom, cocky Baird, and former Crashball star Cole. The effect is a sweet introduction to the world of Sera and to Marcus, just enough to pique our interest, but not enough to give us a resolution. (Resolutions are reserved for sequels, unless you’re Halo 2.) No, we never learn what happened to Marcus’s father, even though one mission brings us back to the old Fenix estate. Chapter one in the Gears of War saga is all about one simple goal: to get to an underground mine and deploy the Resonator, a COG device that will map the Locust tunnels. Along the way, you will fight through “survival-horror” missions, designed simply to scare the crap out of you. And eventually, you’ll fight in large, open battlefields, taking on large numbers of Locust at one time before taking on the evil Locust general. Gears is light on story, but presents a very immersive and compelling atmosphere that sucks you right into the planet Sera.

Gears of War Immersive and character-driven story.

Any insight into the story of the war or into our protagonist’s past will have to wait for the inevitable-but-as-of-yet-unannounced Gears of War 2. But enough about the story. Let’s talk chainsaw. In Gears of War, a slab of concrete is your best friend. And if that slab of concrete isn’t around, you can always make do with burned-out cars, piles of metal, huge columns, or even the ever-popular wall next to a doorway. Why are these inanimate objects so friendly? Because if you aren’t hiding behind something in Gears of War, you might as well be dead. Microsoft and Epic have teamed up to create this wicked game of hide-and-seek with high-powered future guns, which delivers one of the most heart-pounding and graphically thrilling experiences of the year. If its exciting campaign doesn’t rope you in, chances are the team-based multiplayer will–either way, Gears of War is downright amazing. The game’s campaign tells the tale of a man named Marcus Fenix. He, like the other soldiers around him, is an extremely thick dude that very clearly doesn’t have time to bleed. The game immediately sets an action movie-like tone, complete with an interesting post-apocalyptic world that’s been overrun by a mysterious force called the Locust. Marcus is a former soldier for the Coalition of Organized Governments, or COG. Their soldiers wear ridiculously huge, bulky armor, but can’t be bothered to wear helmets. They’re just that tough. Or stupid. Either way, Fenix is a former soldier that’s been branded a traitor and locked away, but he’s busted out of prison at the opening of the game, to help in the fight against the Locust. After a brief tutorial level where you and Dom, the soldier that busted you out, make your way out of the Locust-infested prison and, yes, get to the chopper, you’re connected with the other members of Delta Squad and sent out to find Alpha Squad.Holodexxx Home VR

Which is both missing and supposedly in possession of a device that could turn the tide of the war. The game’s story isn’t very deep, and aside from a very brief mention in the front of the manual, it doesn’t really bother to fill you in on the details behind the conflict or the main character’s incarceration. The lack of exposition feels like a missed opportunity to make the characters and the setting even more compelling, and there are parts of the game that seem like they were built specifically to make room for some kind of flashback sequence, but the gameplay is so sharp that you probably won’t care. You’ll fight a decent variety of enemies in Gears of War. Most of the Locust are humanoids, with minor visual distinctions between the standard troops, ones with shotguns, and so on. Later on, you’ll fight some different-looking humanoid-style enemies that are armed with explosive torque bows, and there are plenty of other critters to face–some small, some screen-filling. They all use slightly different tactics, but the same basic rule applies: Wait for them to pop their heads (or other weak points) out and attempt to shoot it off. The enemy response to your actions has its great moments, but it also has its problems. Enemies hiding behind cover tend to not react when they get hit. From time to time, you might catch the back of an enemy peeking just over a piece of cover, and if you start shooting it, he’ll usually just sit there and let you drill him to death. But in spite of its few problems, the action is tense and extremely enjoyable. Gears of War consists of a large series of pitched battles between your squad and the enemy forces. If you leave your fool head popped up for too long, it’ll get shot off every single time, so the proper place for you is tucked behind a wall or some other piece of cover. The cover mechanics work very naturally, making it easy to stick to a wall, pop up or around to take shots at the enemy, and get back down safely. Moving between nearby pieces of cover is also very easy to manage.

Customizable squad and equipment.

This isn’t the first time that taking cover has been a focus of gameplay–the mechanics work very similarly to a fairly obscure PlayStation 2 game from Namco called kill.switch. But no game has made this sort of gameplay quite so exciting. One of the greatest feelings in this game is that when you pop out to take a shot, you immediately feel like you’re taking your life into your own hands, because the enemy is very good at opening fire the second they see you and you’ll see those bullets heading your way. This formula remains thrilling from start to finish, though boss fights and a pretty neat vehicle section help to break up the action. Thankfully, one shot won’t kill you, in most cases. The health meter takes the form of a skull and gear icon that appears onscreen in pieces as you take damage. If it’s completed, that means you took one hit too many and you’re history. But if you can avoid getting shot for a few seconds, the gear fades away and you’re restored to full health. It’s a much quicker recharge than something like Halo’s energy shields, and this helps keep the action moving while reinforcing that you really need to play cautiously. You’ll usually have three other guys in your squad, but they usually aren’t much help. They’re good for distracting enemies, and they’ll take down a few here and there, but they also tend to get dropped a lot. You can revive them, if you can get over to them and hit the X button, but usually it’s easier to just finish the fight yourself, which brings them all back without exposing you to the same enemy fire that took them down in the first place. Gears of War offers two difficulty settings right off the bat, and a third unlocks when you beat the game.Project Warlock

The game defaults to the easiest setting, called casual. On this setting, taking cover only becomes important when you’re up against heavy odds or later in the game, when the enemies get tougher. The middle setting, hardcore, feels just right at first–you need to take cover, but you can usually pop up and take shots without immediate punishment. But near the tail end of the game, both difficulties ramp up quite a bit. Hardcore starts to get a little unmanageable. Casual gets to be about as hard as the hardcore setting is near the beginning of the game. And once you unlock insane, you’ll find that it’s aptly named, though not impossible. Overall, the difficulty feels like it could have used a bit more tuning, or another setting that finds the sweet spot between casual and hardcore. But since you can select your difficulty each time you load up your game, it’s easy to set it down to casual if you get stuck at a certain checkpoint, then raise it back up once you’ve made progress. Making your way through the campaign should take most players somewhere from about 10 to 12 hours, depending on the difficulty. The game has achievements for finishing each of the five acts on each of the three difficulties, and they stack, so if you beat an act on hardcore, you get the casual points, as well. It only seems to keep track of what difficulty setting you’re on when you finish the act, so all this switching around won’t cause any trouble on that front, either. The game’s achievements are pretty good, with a smart mix of points you’ll get for simply playing through the game and some more esoteric ones, like points for playing as Dom in co-op, points for perfectly reloading your weapon many times in a row, doing well online, and so on. None of the points seem that far fetched, but you also won’t have the full thousand during your first couple of days with the game, either.

Aggressive gameplay.

While the campaign is fine and good alone, it’s even better when you’re playing with another player. You can do so via a split-screen or over Xbox Live, and the good news is that you can continue the campaign from where you’ve played in the single-player, so you can use any mix of single or cooperative play to get through without having to replay missions. The second player takes on the role of Dom, and the game is both more entertaining and significantly easier when playing with a partner. That’s because when players die in co-op, they can be revived, provided they haven’t been blown to bits or their deaths don’t take place during one of the few times when the team splits up, separating the two human players. Online, the co-op behaves quite smoothly, and the graphics in split-screen mode appear to be just as good as they are when you’re playing alone. About the only negative aspect of co-op play is that if a player drops out of an online game, the other player is forced to quit back to the main menu. A more seamless drop-in/drop-out setup would have been cool. While it’s not quite time for its 10 year anniversary, Gears of War is a game that deserves to be updated, remastered and, most of all, replayed. Often unfairly derided as the biggest and dumbest of big, dumb action blockbusters, it’s actually a smarter game than you might think. Sure, its leads have more muscle on their necks than brains in their heads, while the action is so linear and heavily orchestrated that it’s practically on rails, but Gears knows how to make aggressive pacing, some clever mechanics and some inspired set pieced go an awfully long way.

This wasn’t the first cover-based shooter, by any means, but it was the first to really get things absolutely right, with controls that made moving in and out of cover and between points of cover absolutely natural and intuitive. While too slow and heavy in its handling to be described as a twitch shooter, something about Gears’ approach to combat just works. On the one hand, rushing the enemy is suicide. On the other, cowering behind fallen masonry leaves you open to flanking manoeuvres and rush attacks from an enemy that’s just clever and brutal enough to pose a serious threat. And what an enemy that is. Gears takes place on a far-off world where mankind is at war with a subterranean alien race, the locust. Hulking, mean and often heavily armoured, they’re as charismatic a foe as you could wish for, with well-defined types that you’ll come to know, love and dread as the game goes on. It seems like obvious stuff, but you’d be surprised how few games realise that having clear, identifiable and – if you’re lucky – iconic enemies makes fighting them so much more enjoyable and satisfying. Halo knows it, Resident Evil knows it, Bioshock knows it and Destiny knows it. Doom and Quake knew it in their day. So does Gears. Think Boomer, think Wretch, think Drone, think Theron Guard. If you’ve played Gears, you know who these guys are and what they do.Luckily, you’re tooled up for the battle. Like Halo or Doom, Gears gives you access to a formidable arsenal of weaponry, including chainsaw-enhanced assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns and pistols. In fact, it has two, adding the Locusts’ own weaponry to the COG’s human weapons, and throwing bows, grenade launchers and grenades into the mix. Gears even has a brilliant signature uber-weapon: the Hammer of Dawn, which you can only get your hands on at specific times for specific needs.

The net result of all this is that the basic, minute-to-minute combat of Gears is very good. The speed of movement and the feel of aiming takes some getting used to, but once it clicks it’s just as gritty, gory and fun as it was in 2006. Dashing for cover, squeezing off some shots or using the old roadie run under withering Locust fire hasn’t tired at all. This remains a hugely exciting action game. And when you’re not involved in the basic, minute-to-minute combat, Gears is even better. It’s impressive how many of its big set pieces stick in your mind even years later, the memories kicking into place as you replay them in this version. From the fight against the blind but seemingly unbeatable Bezerker through using spotlights and blasting gas canisters to keep the bat-like Kryll off your back, to the creepy infiltration through the mining facility and the Brumak’s first appearance, Gears is full of brilliant, unnerving, exciting moments. The series didn’t build a following for just its big-necked, dudebro brawn, after all. Throughout, you can see Cliffy B working to bring styles and themes from other games into the mix. Here he’s riffing on Resident Evil or going old-school with Doom-style thrills. There he’s taking a good look at Full Spectrum Warrior or Call of Duty and working out how ideas from a military shooter can work in a sci-fi game. Gears of War might not be all that original, but when it steals it steals from the best. What’s more, this version acts like an extended edition, throwing in the five chapters excised from the 360 version to get it out on time, but added back in the PC’s Gears of War for Windows.Against the Storm
