Gears of War - Xbox360
A Metacritic score of 94% makes Gears of War by Epic Games the top ranked Xbox360 game.
It also received 94% from IGN who said: “…the solid AI is performing flanking maneuvers, advancing and retreating, and executing the very basics of armed combat. As you are ducking behind a tree, waiting for an enemy to reload, it’s not hard to imagine that the idea for Gears and its cover system was born in the heat of a paintball game.”
Watch the the excellent trailer featuring a haunting “Gary Jules” cover of the “Tears for Fears” song “Mad World” which was originally used in the film “Donnie Darko”:
“No tomorrow, no tomorrow,
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had”
