At Epic, they are whipping the Unreal Engine 3 hard right now. There is much at stake with their current, overly ambitious third-person tactical shooter for Xbox 360, Gears of War. Mark Rein, Epic Games' vice-president mentioned recently, that production costs will be in the US$ 10 million range. Whatever footage, screenshots or gameplay details from the title has been released so far is well pointing to one of the best games of 2006 and a truly next-gen effort at that. See, giving Gears of War good press seems almost too easy. Speaking atmosphere, think Doom 3 meets Warhammer 40k, where game mechanics are much about teamwork. All stages, chapters in the storyline and game modes have been designed to encourage co-op play, either with A.I. buddies or human brothers in arms. Multiplayer via Xbox Live awaits, while story mode dumps gamers into an intriguing tale with more than one dark twist, a saga of humankind's fight for naked survival against the Locust Horde, a race with a "Seek and Destroy" mindset that surfaces from inside the ill-fated planet Sera. With probably the best visuals on the console seen so far on top, Gears of War is the reason you bought a 360. In case you don't own the system yet, it's time to reconsider.

Gears of War will ship on November 12th for only US$ 69.90, qualifying for our Free Shipping Worldwide promotion, which is available for all import games on Lik-Sang.com. Rightfully selected as Microsoft's flagship title currently, which might be powerful enough to take on Wii and PS3 launches single-handedly. Don't miss out, is our recommendation.
