All things considered, this really is the best game with the Gears of War name yet. It would have been easy for Judgment to be an adequate spin-off that doesn't in any way shake things up, but People Can Fly have clearly put as much effort into the game as they would a main franchise title; the result is one of the most blisteringly intense, dynamic and down-right entertaining action titles in a long time. From the characters, to the story, to the new gameplay mechanics and the scintillating online offering, this serves up just about everything that a Gears fan or, indeed, a fan of violent shooters could possibly want. I just can't wait to see what the franchise has up its sleeve next on the Xbox 720. Looking forward to Judgment? Let us know what you think of it!
