What Was The First Gears Of War Game You Ever Played?

Gears of War 2 gave us our first heartbreak, and Gears of War 3… well that tore our beefy hearts asunder that’s for sure. Lots of people will say Gears 3 is by far the best in the series, largely because of its multiplayer offering – and it’s hard to argue.

Some entries in the series fared better than others. Gears of War: Judgment, for example, wasn’t particularly well received, and when the franchise made the jump to Xbox One, the fourth didn’t quite hit either. That said, Gears 5 did pretty good, perhaps because it dropped the “of War” from it’s title. I jest. But overall, Gears remains one of the best shooters on Xbox.

So, we’re curious to hear all about your early days with the series. What are you first Gears memories, and how did you discover the franchise? Do you fancy sharing any fun stories or cool moments that stuck with you? Have you been a fan since ever since, or do you think the series is just a bit pants? Are you excited for Gears of War: E-Day? Will you be jumping on the Beta? Tell us all about it!
