GameXtract writes "Apparently everyone is on edge for Gears of War 2 so I should probably join in on the frenzy, and get hyped up too! A few weeks ago I had the chance of trying out Horde with Jeff at the Toronto Gaming Invasion, but a simple ten minute time frame was not enough to judge the game. Without a fact, Gears of War 2 looks to be one bloodbath, and IGN, and Gamepro know it! In the following TV spot below, IGN is quoted saying "You Going To Be Blown Away", with Gamepro giving an even bigger statement by saying "The Best Xbox 360 Game Ever Made". Looks like I'll be picking this up on release day to see if it truly lives up to these quotes. The TV spot below is a Gears of War 2 linked with Gamestop to promote pre-ordering the game. If you like hearing morality speeches from commanders, and hundreds of troops fighting locust baddies, then this might get you on edge."
Video after the jump!
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
The Gears of War franchise's influence has remained to this day with cover systems becoming as ubiquitous as regenerating health. With a new console generation upon us, it's time to list the series from worst to best.

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
are they done with beta. was it a closed group one.
It should read "You're going to be blown away." I know I'm being somewhat pedantic about grammar but I detest people getting "your" and "you're" mixed up.
cant wait to bomboclaat. send on bloodclaat gears of rassclaat war. jamaican bomboclaat style
10/10 got to be.
I just gotta laugh. This game is not going to be much better then the first one, I love watching fanboys hyping a game that is just gonna be all the same. The funniest thing about the whole thing is that everyone quit playing a long time ago, but yet claims this is gonna be the best game all year. Im sorry to burst your guys' bubbles, but the best games this year are multi platform,,
