Marcus Fenix takes the lead once again in order to find his father, who happens to be alive and could have the solution to end the drawn out war with the Locust. The game reunites players with the gruff and buff Delta squad. And it still remains one of the best co-op experiences sitting on store shelves today. But the core “stop-and-pop” squad tactics is perfected with this iteration. GOW 3 doesn’t do anything drastically new. Now the men of Delta squad are putting down their guns for one final hoorah in Gears of War 3. Tearing through Locust hordes with a Lancer chainsaw rifle is still as satisfying as it was five years ago when the Gears of War franchise cut its way on to the Xbox 360.
