Gears of War 3


At some point in the past, Gears of War 3 was a game that warranted the purchase or an Xbox 360. After seeing how Microsoft has been doing out nothing much besides casual stuff of late, one can confidently say that this is the game that has managed to redeem the Xbox 360. It is a violent, bloody unapologetic conclusion to one of the Xbox 360’s most beloved first party titles. If you own an Xbox 360, there is no two ways about it. You have to buy it!



The game puts players into the war-hardened boots of Marchus Fenix once again as he strives to end the Locust menace plaguing his planet since Emergence Day. Unfortunately, this time round he has a new menace to deal with in the form of the Lambent. Now these guys are band news. They don’t really care about whom they infect and kill, going after both the human as well as the Locust race. And the whole concept of the enemy of my enemy is a friend doesn’t really work here, so you’ll pretty much kill everything that isn’t human.

Epic are fierce believers of the ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ philosophy, so if you’ve played either of the previous games, you will know exactly what to expect here. You will play as one of the burly macho dudes, spend a lot of time taking cover, chainsaw enemies in half, blurt a lot of cocky one liners and grin at the over-the-top violence. Although the games had different environment, but you end up doing the exact same things and it can get pretty boring. Although there are new enemies, weapons and enough set pieces to give Naughty Dog a run for their money, but ultimately Gear of Wars 3 is a long list of clichés. The 8 hour long game can get a bit boring towards the end and you may feel as though it is an Epic that has run out of steam and was just forcibly stretching the game’s length.

You can play the entire game by yourself or team up with up to 3 of your friends over Xbox Live to tackle it co-operatively. While playing solo, the friendly application interface does a pretty good job of backing you up. They do stupidly charge into a horde of enemies at times, but for most of the game they can hold their ground in the battle just fine. You play the Gears of War 3 in either the Horde or Beast mode each of it supporting the co-operative experience.

In this game, the Horde Mode returns from Gears of War 2, with some tower defense like features. For those who haven’t played it at all, it is very simple. In this mode, you will need to withstand 50 waves of enemies, each of which is progressively tougher. After every round, you will have time to purchase ammunition and supplies and also fix your damaged defenses or upgrade them to make them tougher.

In the Beast mode, instead of humans you will play as the Locust or the Lambent and your goal is to kill all the humans before time runs out. At certain levels, it gets really tough and intense.

For those who have already played the previous versions can skip this one. But if you are an avid fan of this franchise you can go ahead and purchase it!!

Resistance 3


The Resistance series has always divided the crowd. While one part loves the war-torn, Chimera-invaded world, others feel the game lacks a certain distinguishing spark. Resistance 3 comes out after a few years after the events of the second part of the series. While playing the game, you don on the role of Joseph Capelli. When the world is being taken over by aliens, duty calls and Joseph will need to travel to New York and fight against the Chimera menace and end it once and for all.




The plot of the game is filled with several clichéd twists you will probably see coming a mile away. At times, R3 finds the sweet spot between difficulty, intensity and satisfaction, while at other times it varies between the boredom of killing a horde of enemies and frustration of constant ambushes. Making matters worse is the very annoying navigation system in the game. You will find yourself getting stuck as the objective marker will not pop for long periods of time, thereby leaving you running around a level in circles. You will find yourself spending a lot of time in the game, in the dark, as the game tries dabbling in survival horror territory with some interesting results.

Unlike other action games, Resistance 3 does not allow for a regenerating health system, which means you have to hunt around for health packs across the battlefield. This isn’t the deal breaker, but is a feature that will not suit players who are used to healing themselves. However, one feature that everyone will love about this game is the responsive control scheme. The game boasts of some of the tightest controls in a PS3 shooter. The tight controls are accompanied with a large armory of diverse weapons that include usual stuff like carbines and shotguns, but also some exotic weaponry that let you freeze and explode enemies or see and fire through walls. All weapons have an alternate fire and they automatically upgrade as you use them.

In Resistance 3, you will never find a shortage of weapons or ammunition, but the game offers quite a challenge. It pummels you with intense set pieces, and at these times it is important to choose the right tool for the particular hob in hand. There a few boss fights which are very daunting to look at, some standing taller than Capelli. To bring them down you will need to use your standard shoot at the glowing parts routine.

Resistance 3 is a decent looking game, except that it has brown tint. The game world is very well designed and reflects the chaos and despair brought o by an alien invasion. Apart from that, some of the boss fights also assaults your senses with scripted events.

You can also play this game online. It also supports the multi-player format. The multi-player format is pretty intense and interesting. It offers a multitude of modes such as the standard death match. However the matchmaking seems imbalanced as all the strong characters are put together in one team, while noobs ran around clueless.

Overall Resistance 3 is a great game for people who are interested in core action games. The game emits a ‘been there done that’ vibe. The only thing that lets this emotion out is the ammunition and weapons.
