Since its debut, Gears of War has broken sales records on the Microsoft Xbox 360, selling more than 3 million copies worldwide, and received numerous awards including Gamespot's "Game of the Year" and the Interactive Achievement
Awards' "Overall Game of the Year." The game thrusts players into humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. The story unfolds as a ragtag group of
soldiers use every last ounce of strength to survive the onslaught from the forces of evil, which begins on the historic Emergence Day.
