Gears of War 3: hands-on with the single-player

We touch down on Sera for Act One of third-person shooter climax, Gears of War 3. And it's not looking pretty out there

And so we 're back to the brink of extinction. The last vestiges of humanity on the planet Sera scattered, while licking their wounds COG forces depleted by aging aircraft carrier bound for nowhere. The monstrous Lambent, dormant for months to come again with stirring, the Locust. That's it, that's the end.

Several similar shooters - Killzone, Halo, Resistance - have predicted the demise of mankind in the hands of space monsters, but none have quite matched gears for his apocalyptic rage, his sense of relentless, bloody glory. Gears of War last 3 doesn 't long before to settle into the familiar rhythms. After a brief prologue recalls the events that lead to the first game in the series (sound super Marcus Fenix ??obeyed the order to save his father fails and gets kicked in military prison), we 're on board the CNV Sovereign a raven 's Nest awaken class ship with Fenix, Dom, and Jace, just like the Lambent.
