Gears 3 most anticipated of 2011

Marcus, Dom, and the rest of Delta are back for more head-stomping, stop-and-pop action in Gears of War 3, which takes the crew to an island called Vectes after the sinking of Jacinto in Gears of War 2. With this new environment come new weapons, such as the Pendulum Wars-era lancer and the digger launcher. There will be new foes to face in the form of the lambent--infected Locust suffering from extended exposure to imulsion (also known as "that juice"). You encounter these foes both in the new campaign, which supports cooperative play with up to four players, and in the new Beast mode, a slightly different take on Gears 2's popular Horde mode that puts you in the shoes of a locust.

The April release was pushed back to the holiday season, to allow for a BETA and a more steady product to be released.
