Gears of War

Why revolutionary? Well...

First of all, I'm talking about the PC version not considering the fact that the Xbox 360 version came out first. Now we all know that PC gaming is more or less associated with FPS & RTS but why not TPS (Third-person shooters)? Because before GOW, not a single company has succeeded to create a TPS with good controls & camera, outstanding gameplay and practically flawless graphics for the PC. GOW, on the other hand has all of the above which immediately gives you a cinematic feeling while playing it. Sure the story is not great but the plot is excellent; aliens (Or whatever they are) versus humans. If you want a game with captivating story then GOW is not for you but if you are a PC gamer wanting to try something new then buy it now! GOW again isn't a regular TPS because it integrates a very good cover system which is IMO what makes it a revolutionary game!
