“Know that what hasn’t changed is the Gears of War 3 gameplay formula. As with the other two games in the series, Epic Games has anthropomorphized four boab trees, outfitted each with a machine gun, chainsaw, and dew rag, put them behind some traffic barriers or other waist-high cover, and let them get down to business. If you’re not into cover-based combat or are hoping for something different, you’re swimming against the current here.”
