When it was released in 2001, Microsoft’s Xbox console provided us with some of the best moments in gaming history. FromHalo: Combat Evolved,Jade Empire,Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republicand more, this beloved machine of the green brand has provided memories that will last a lifetime. However, the series that is today’s topic of discussion never arrived until the next console generation.

The story ofGears of Warfollowed the tale of Marcus Phoenix and his bromance buddy, Dominic Santiago. “Mankind’s desperate struggle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the planet’s core,” reads the ominous synopsis of the game.

Despite featuring somewhat basic cover-shooting, the simplicity of the gameplay madeGears of Waran easy game to pick up, but its campaign offered its fair share of challenging moments, especially on the higher difficulties. What’s more, as with every mainline entry in this series, playing the campaign co-op with a friend is an absolute blast. It was also perhaps more story-driven than many had initially assumed. Oh, and it features brutal competitive online offerings, including the relentless Horde mode, granting a quality alternative to the likes ofHalo 2,Call of Duty 3andBattlefield 2: Modern Combatwhich were all popular online shooters at the time.
There have been rumours thatGears 6will be on the way at some point, and why wouldn’t it? After all, it’s one of Xbox’s most successful and popular franchises. Plus at this point, it’s been four years since the release ofGears 5, so we can hope that the big announcement from current developers The Coalition could be made anytime soon (I hope). While we wait, if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, we at least have one of the Xbox’s entire best series at our disposal. So what are you waiting for? Get those chainsaw Lancers revving and jump into the iconic series that is Gears of War.
