In 2006, a year after the release of the Xbox 360 a dark, violent game named Gears of War was released. This redefined third person cover games, as gameplay for a game of this genre was the best anyone had ever seen.

His main goal throughout the game is to find the whereabouts of his girlfriend. At the same time, he must battle horrific mutated creatures called necromorphs.
