Trivia
This game is, according to Epic VP Mark Rein, the sole reason the Xbox 360 has 512mb of RAM instead of 256mb. Supposedly this cost Microsoft around $1 billion.

Goofs
In the flash back to when the resonator was deployed, Baird hangs back and watches the resonator briefly before Marcus tells him to hurry up. When the player actually witnesses this scene, Baird immediately joins the others after setting up the resonator.

Quotes
Dominic Santiago: No way... Cole Train, we saw you play.
Augustus Cole: Hell yeah, baby. Everyone wants to see The Cole Train play!
Dominic Santiago: Marcus, do you remember this guy? Division playoffs? 40 yard line?
Marcus Fenix: I remember that you owe me 20 bucks.
Dominic Santiago: Oh yeah? See me after the war.

Unique action experience. It started a revolution.

"Gears Of War" seriously smashes any other War-Action video game from the new millennium. This is probably the most spectacular game of it's kind when it comes to unlimited action, gore, visuals, sound, and even dialogs. The weak point is the plot because it doesn't let you explore more of it but oh! who cares when it's all about action?! This game started a revolution in video games because it creates a whole new world based on not-so real humans battling aliens in an Apocalyptic scenario.

The visuals are just impressive and you won't get better. The sound is impressive and I would compare it to any action movie from the likes of "Independence Day" or even the almighty "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".

This is the prime example of the XBOX 360's power. It's a must have for any video game lover. The online mode is just as addictive and spectacular.

Please get this game and be part of the new history of video games.
