  • Abstract:  Well carve me up with a chainsaw and call me a grub, Gears Tactics is fluppin' brilliant. I probably shouldn't be as surprised as I am. While turning Gears of War into a Tactics game might sound like the worst idea since mayonnaise in a squeezy bottle, th...

  • Abstract:  Bloody sci-fi shooter series Gears of War and the term “tactics” may not seem like natural bedfellows, given that these games are best known for their macho space soldiers and chainsaw machine guns. Yet strategy has always played a far bigger role in the...

  • The combat is quintessential Gears of War, Captures the essence of the series' action
  • Lacks variety in mission and encounter design, Difficult to invest in story or characters
  • Gears Tactics is a smart, fast, and aggressive strategy game that's in need of a little more variety
