Booting up Gears of War on the Xbox 360 in 2025 is like chainsawing straight back into the gritty days of cover shooters. Released in 2006, it was a true system seller for the 360—introducing players to Marcus Fenix, Delta Squad, and the fight against the Locust Horde. With its revolutionary cover-based combat, weighty weapons, and cinematic presentation, Gears set a new bar for third-person shooters. On the 360, its Unreal Engine 3 visuals were jaw-dropping—dark, war-torn cities lit by gunfire and Lancer chainsaws roaring to life. Sure, modern remasters and sequels polished the formula, but nothing hits like that first moment stepping into Sera’s ruined streets. Playing it in 2025 is pure nostalgia—roadie running, active reloading, and blasting through waves of Locust with your squad.
