Reactions: “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.

Review: 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.

Why does the Gears of War series always have the best trailers? Probably because they got Dude Huge over there busting heads if the trailers are anything less than fantastic.

The view from our quarters.
Yaarrr!!! Join us from our new high seas abode maties as we talk about video games. Revel in the absurd amount of unnecessary sea-faring puns while we discuss what we’ve been playing, the news of the (past couple) weeks, and the point of video games, media, and art in general. That’s right, we get real deep down in the murky depths for this week’s discussion. So help us break in our new house boat by listening to this jaunty high seas adventure of a podcast.
Author: RyanTrailers: Watch Gears 3′s opening cinematic
Thanks for catching us up, Anya. May I be so bold as to say that I’m rather surprised by the game opening with you, but that I like it? Perhaps you’ll finally develop into a real character and not just be that piece of eye-candy in the other chopper. And maybe we’ll finally get more than half a dozen vague lines of dialogue on Marcus’ father. Maybe just maybe Gears 3 will have a compelling story to go with all that sexy gameplay.

That thang being demonstrations of incredible value, of course. Between the four-player co-op, Horde mode 2.0, Beast mode, and the refined competitive multiplayer, Gears 3 is shaping up to be this year’s Halo: Reach in terms of pure value. It’s also got a leg up on Reach in the giant tentacle monster department…
Author: CodyTrailers: GoW3 goes Beast Mode
Is it just me or did that full steam rolling execution remind anybody of this?
Author: CodyTrailers: Allow Anya Stroud to sell you on GoW 3′s Horde Mode 2.0
A man would have just let the gameplay speak for itself. What are we doing by letting these annoying-voiced women into lead roles? I think I’ll just fortify a secret little closet where Marcus and Dom can be alone, as Cliffy B intended.
Author: CodyE3 2011: Best of
This had...something...to do with E3.
Well, the show is over, I’m mostly recovered, and you probably want something to read. I think it’s clear to everyone involved that an arbitrary list awarding accolades to games that have yet to release should follow. Without further ado…

Here, have more video-game related media than any human being should reasonably watch in one day.
