This coming holiday season may be an all out war between Microsoft and the new Playstation 3 console from Sony. How can that be you ask? Halo3 got no anticipated launch date around that time right? Nope, but there is another exclusive game release from Microsoft scheduled for that period. Gears of War.
Gears of War is one of the Xbox 360’s most highly anticipated exclusives, and will be considered the heaviest possible blow – short of price cut or the premature emergence of Halo 3 – Microsoft could land in the battle against PS3.
Here’s a snapshot of the Gears of War storyline:
Gears of War®, an Xbox 360™ exclusive that blends tactical action with survival horror, thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
Lead war hero Marcus Fenix and his fire team as they face the onslaught of merciless warrior fiends.
A revolutionary tactical combat system and breathtaking, high-definition visuals from the new Unreal® Engine 3 immerse you in a horrifying story of war and survival.
