Article:  Gears of War 3 Offers Entertaining Video Game Ride.  A Fine Finale

Could this possibly be the last installment of Gears of War?  Gears of War 3, by Epic Games, for the Xbox 360 has enjoyed a lucrative ride since 2006, selling approximately 13 millon copies.  This purported last installment  of Gears of War drew over 1 million preorders and the online beta version drew about 1.29 million people from about 145 countries.

Not to spoil your suspense with the new game, coming out on September 20, 2011 --  I will tell you the latest version  (according to the author) is more bright and expansive than the dark world of the previous versions.  Also  the single player version seems to be not as challenging as the multiplayer version.

So what's new with Gears of War 3?  Without going into too much detail -- The story line has a boost, there are lots of multiplayer treats, the cast is expanded and the ending is memorable, with everyone displaying a sense of all encompassing characters togetherness and comradie in the end.  Ice-T is the voice of one of the characters and his band plays the Gears of War song.

Here is the cover of Gears of War 3.

According to the author, the game is user-friendly, and  you can enjoy playing this game, even if you have not played the previous 2 versions.

The author ends his article with three words:  "A fine finale."

Ms. H's take.  It remains to be seen if this will be the last version of Gears of War 3.  It would not surprise me if the game comes out with similar characters and scenarios, and a different title, but with a Gears of War flavor.  The author of the article even alludes  to the fact that this will be the last installment, as far as it goes, coming from a money-making franchise.

I've played other war-type video games, and I would be interested in playing this game when it comes out.  Maybe I can do that and give you a review of what I thought of the game!

If you have not preordered this game, and you like war-type games with lots of action, you may want to  play this game.  And the fact that it is supposed to be the last installment may entice you to get the final installment of the game for yourself!

Happy gaming!
