Gears of War: Released in 2006 Gears of War redefined the third-person shooter genre with its cover-based combat visceral chainsaw executions and dark post-apocalyptic setting. Set on the planet Sera players control Marcus Fenix fighting the subterranean Locust Horde. The game’s gritty art style cinematic storytelling and intense squad-based gameplay raised the bar for console shooters. Its multiplayer popularized the “roadie run” and competitive modes like Warzone. The Unreal Engine 3 showcased lighting and character models that were groundbreaking at the time. Gears of War became a flagship franchise for Xbox 360 selling over three million copies. It spawned numerous sequels and expanded the universe through novels and comics. The game’s influence persists in modern shooters and its legacy as a defining Xbox exclusive remains unchallenged.
