Grinding "Gears"

gears3

The series that started the cover mechanic revolution in shooters, “Gears of War,” has finally reached its conclusion.
“Gears of War 3” is a great end to the trilogy, with a thrilling, set piece-filled campaign. And the balance multi-player is difficult to put down.
The campaign is the most fun and varied of all the games of the series. The story aspires to tug at your heart, but it fails, due to a feeling of detachment from the great game play. The enemies and environments, however, are the best in the series.
The new “Lambent” enemies are constantly mutating, explosive aliens that keep players on their toes. The environments are extremely colorful, ranging from a post-war wasteland to an island paradise. It’s an extremely welcome change from the series’ trademark drab colors.
The multi-player is the best ever, with no noticeable glitches and some brutally fun, new weapons. In addition, the game tracks and constantly posts an immense amount of personal statistics.
It seems intent on keeping gamers playing, and it really works.
Why go to bed when you only need a few more kills to unlock a new weapon colorization?
