I think seeing as the release is stead-fastly approaching we should try and consolidate all the info we have on this power-house of a game. Pathetic introduction for thread over!

Basic Information: Plot, Characters

" The main character of Gears of War is a former prisoner named Marcus Fenix. On the planet Sera the human forces call themselves " The Coalition of Ordered Governments" and are locked in a struggle with an enemy known as The Locusts. The enemy forces are made up of foot soldiers, the giant ogre-like creatures shown in the Unreal Engine demos, and flying menaces known as Kryll bats." -Courtesy IGN, Written by David Clayman
