Review: Gears of War: Judgment (Xbox 360)

So, I am super late with this one but I will claim distraction due to Game of Thrones Season Three starting up and Bioshock Infinite coming out only a week after Judgment. Of course, I played on the Xbox 360 as this is a console exclusive. Regardless, here is the review for Gears of War: Judgment.

Story:

Unlike my last review on the new Tomb Raider, I have been playing Gears of War since the original came out and my friend got me to play it just to scare the shit out of me. As the Gears of War saga has moved on, it became less of a fright and more of a straight cover-based shooter. The story of Marcus Fenix ended with Gears of War 3. This new game, titled Gears of War: Judgment, focuses on Daimon Baird and Augustus "Coletrain" Cole before the events of the original Gears of War, right after E-Day. These two are fan favorites and are known for their constantly witty banter as well as inappropriate, but well-timed jokes.

Gears of War: Judgment is definitely bucking some trends of previous Gears games, like getting rid of D-pad weapon selection, but some things have not changed. All games have some form of collectibles now and Cog Tags are the ones for this installment. No need to worry about other collectibles, just the Tags of your fellow fallen Cogs. There are forty eight in total but we will do these section by section. Generally, you will see a red Cog Omen symbol near each tag, but not always right next to it. Expect one tag per chapter. Getting ten COG Tags will get you the "Never Forgotten" achievement, twenty-five COG Tags will get you the "Veteran Remembrance" achievement and finding all of them will score you the "Respect for the Fallen" achievement.
