Gears of War is a third-person tactical action/horror game being developed by Epic Games exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 video game system. As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Gears of War is the only game to blend a deep and disturbing story of human survival against an endless mass of nightmarish creatures, a next-generation tactical combat system, and unsurpassed visuals and special effects. The story unfolds as a ragtag group of soldiers use every last ounce of strength to survive the onslaught from the forces of evil, which begins on the historic Emergence Day.. Game Informer magazine (June 2005) called it "Microsoft's Secret Weapon". It is already considered to be the most important Xbox 360 action game of 2006.
Story
The humans of Sera have been fighting a decades-long war over the miracle energy source known as Imulsion when a new enemy appears: The Locust Horde. Erupting from underground warrens, the Horde attacks humanity, and overnight more than a quarter of the planet’s population is massacred. What remains of the human military flees to Jacinto Plateau, where they make a final desperate stand against overwhelming forces.
Gears of War tells the story of a former prisoner of war, Marcus Fenix, on the planet Sera, which is not unlike our own. After many years of war between humans, referred to as the "Pendulum Wars", the "Coalition of Ordered Governments" is formed, and an uneasy peace is achieved. Unfortunately, man isn't the only intelligent life on Planet Sera; a previously unknown species of subterranean creatures called "The Locust Horde" rises out of the ground (in an event called "Emergence Day"). The Locusts assault all major capitals, and the conflict quickly escalates. It took the locusts one night to kill over a quarter of the planet`s population
