After winning 30 Game of the Year awards and selling around 5 million copies, you would think that Gears of War would have faded into the background, but that hasn't been the case.

Released in 2006 the game is still popular today, especially with the much-anticipated release its sequel, (and subsequent let down) of Gears of War 2.

The emotion behind the storytelling mixed with the fight scenes and the realness of the characters is what brings the game together and makes it cohesive.

It's also what prompted the July 2008 re-release of the game in a two-disc set designed to give any gamer a great ride. In addition to the game there's a trailer and extras for the sequel, multiplayer map packs, and other multiplayer achievements to enhance the gaming experience. The limited collector's edition has a book and a DVD on the making of the game, and comes in a metal presentation box sure to please any Gears of War fan.

NEW Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim Model System Gears of War 3 Limited Edition 320 GB    US $295.00

STAR WARS POWER OF THE FORCE LUKE SKYWALKER IN X WING FIGHTER GEAR    US $7.99

Sold only for the Xbox 360, Gears of War 2 is a much-anticipated sequel. As a tactical action game, it's fast-paced and adrenaline-charged. It's predecessor, Gears of War, sold 4.7 million copies and and ranked among the most popular Xbox games in history.

The second installment picks up six months later and continues the epic battle between humanity and the Locust Horde that lives underground. While the game is full of action there's also a story there – it's not just about killing enemies.

The reluctant hero, Marcus Fenix, seems to really understand the emotions of loss, survival, and retribution. Couple that with more weapons, new characters, nastier enemies, and better locales, and there are more thrills and more emotionally and physically charged moments for any gamer who was a fan of the first Gears of War installment.

The new Soul Caliber 4 game doesn't support trophies in the PlayStation 3 version. There's an in-game achievement system, but it just tells you that you've unlocked whatever thing you've just achieved. Then you've got to go to the museum and look at the battle records to see your 'trophy.'

Between that and it's lack of support for any kind of custom, in-game music, it's got a lot of die-hard gaming fans upset.

Oh, and there's no rumble option for the DualShock 3 controller, either.

Whether you think rumble is great or whether you think it's 'last generation,' there are probably people who still want it and won't be getting it. Whether this results in any kind of loss of sales still remains to be seen.
