Gears of War

Gears of War is one of the most acclaimed video game franchises in history. The game focuses on JD Fenix and his friends, Del and Kait. The three survivors have just escaped an attack on their village and now they must rescue their family and friends.

Simultaneously JD, Del and Kait try to discover who the enemy is and how to best combat the threat of the subterranean reptilian hominids known as the Locust Horde and their mutated counterparts, the Swarm and the Lambent. Until last year the game was mostly played in teams of 4 online on Xbox or other gaming machines.

The competition involves role-playing as players choose a combat class to level up skills and deploy fortifications anywhere on the map against increasingly dangerous enemies.  The game is for social, competitive and professional players alike.
