Trailers: Gears 3 “Fenix Rising” DLC in action
I have to say that the maps shown here look pretty fun; I sort of want to go play some Gears now. The pack is available now, and for $10, you’ll get five new maps to obnoxiously act out your thrashball dreams on. Below are more detailed fly-through videos for three of those new maps.

Feature: InsaneBear’s 2011 Game of the Year
Another year, another reflective diary entry on how many social opportunities I sacrificed for video games…wait, that’s not right! No: this is a celebration of what has probably been the best year of games since 2007. So let’s get down to business and start with the InsaneBear tradition of looking back on the previous year’s games and re-evaluating our opinions in hindsight.

Will it be as cool as that alternate ending to Carmine’s epic saga? Probably not. But $10 will net you “five new maps, four character skins and ‘Re-up,’ the Gears version of Call of Duty‘s ‘Prestige.’ Here, it allows players to rank through level 100 multiple times for ‘exclusive emblems and weapon skins.’” Good times, no?

First off: no Mario games. We all love Nintendo’s main man, but I could list off the good plumber’s titles ’til the cows come home, and I don’t have any cows…so that might go on for a while. Also, all entries come from this generation of consoles, because frankly, my entire list would consist of GoldenEye otherwise. So with that said, how can you get your gaming fix this holiday season with all manner of trash talking siblings, rambunctious cousins, and overly curious aunts and uncles scurrying around the house?
Author: CodyTrailers: So what’s this RAAM’s Shadow DLC all about?
It’s like Epic has a little man hidden inside my mind, listening for all my awesome ideas like A GUN THAT SHOOTS KRYLL. But it’s less of a gun and more of a summon creature spell that RAAM casts with his magics. Locusts have those, right? Well they must, because the only explanation for kryll in daylight is a powerful protection spell.

We’re back after a 2 month hiatus to bring you the best podcast this side of the Mississippi! Listen in as we yell back and forth at each other about all the great games we’ve been playing. And then, I attempt to distract Cody from the Packer’s game long enough to discuss the news of the week. Finally, prepare yourselves for a trip to the creative depths of our souls, because we’ve got a new installment of InsaneBear’s own You Are the Game! Listen to it all right here, right now!

Okay, that stuff looks pretty cool. But still, sort of looks like content that should have shipped with the game, right? Well, you can choose to buy the Horde Command Pack for $10 as of right now, or you can wait ’til November 24th and get it for free…well, most of it, anyways.
Author: CodyReactions: “RAAM’s Shadow” campaign DLC announced for Gears 3
If you’re like me, and you feel like General RAAM was the best boss fight in the Gears of War series, then you’ll be glad to hear that he’s coming back in December 13th’s “RAAM’s Shadow” DLC pack.
Author: CodyReview: Gears of War 3
Score: Superb
Difficulty played on: Hardcore (3rd hardest of 4 settings)
Time to beat: About 10 hours
Platforms: Xbox 360
Loved the most: Horde Mode, Beast Mode, Versus Multiplayer, and 4-player Campaign Co-op make this game a blast with friends.
Hated the most: The campaign’s quality is uneven.
In 2001, Microsoft launched the game franchise that would go on to define the Xbox with Halo. 2006 saw the company using Gears of War in much the same way for the Xbox 360. Both games set the standard for their respective genres and fostered die-hard multiplayer communities. And that’s why, despite the radically different play styles of the two series, there are a lot of comparisons to be made. For all intents and purposes, Gears of War 3 is to the Gears franchise what Halo 3, or perhaps a more recent example in Halo: Reach, are to the Halo franchise. It’s a game with incredibly refined and varied multiplayer experiences that have evolved from a multiplayer experience that was already AAA. It’s bigger, better, and more bad ass. But behind all of the many additions, the core gameplay hasn’t changed at all. Pretty much, it’s exactly what most Gears fans want.
