We've crawled out of our own cogholes to kick off 2025 with a new episode, and as the buzz for Gears of War E-Day only grows with each day, we muse about how the multiplayer mode, whatever form it takes, can survive in the age of cancelled Concords, sunken Suicide Squads, and forever Fortnites.

We get into it and reminisce on multiplayer memories, how we approach things as ageing gamers, and discuss if Gears should go to playstation.

Enjoy, and spread the good word of Gears Intel. We thank you for your support!!

2023 is TEN YEARS since the release of Gears of War Judgment so it's only fitting that it's our first game retrospective for the podcast. We continue to cover the franchise in chronological order, and Judgment is set early in the timeline of Gears media. In this episode we deep dive into the campaign side of the Judgment package and discuss everything from Story, Characters, Gameplay, and Presentation. Is it really the "least good" Gears of War game? Let's get into it...

With Cliffy B recently hinting that he knows where the next Gears game might be heading, we speculate on the vast possibilities and ask a question often floated around the Gears of War community - should Gears of War go fully open world?

We talk about open world gaming as a whole, what works for us and what doesn't, and how something like Gears could play with this style.

Weekend 1 of the Gears Reloaded Beta draws to a close. I got in plenty of game time over the weekend to sample what it's offering. From a very rocky opening night, to a much smoother experience by day 2 and 3, I give my thoughts on how Reloaded is feeling. Is the gameplay dated? How much fine tuning needs to be done? Is the 'turn off cross-play' option bad for the game? I ramble on. Let me know your thoughts too!

The Xbox Showcase is in the rearview, and while Gears of War did make an appearance, it wasn't the earth shaking type of showing that we had last year - which is fine! Turns out Gears of War Reloaded is actually looking pretty incredible, as we got an official trailer, and confirmation of the Beta as the game gets ready to hit Xbox, Playstation, and PC this summer. I'm on hand to give my own thoughts on the showcase news or lack thereof, and did we actually get a confirmation that E-Day is coming in 2026? Very possibly maybe... enjoy the round up, my ramblings, and let me know your thoughts.

It continues to be a busy time for Gears of War news and there's a few thoughts to get off my COG armour plated chest. After my video a little while back worrying that the movie was in development hell, a glimmer of deep running hope appears, as The Hollywood Reporter confirms David Leitch is in talks for the Director's chair. I give thoughts on the Leitch-Spaihts Director-Writer combo, and what this could mean for the tone of the film. Plus I reiterate some feelings on casting, talk about the apparent Gears of War Reloaded BETA which may be upon us, and feature fan opinions given to me on whether we will see more of E-Day at the upcoming showcase.

It’s now been almost 900 days since Netflix announced they were working on a Gears of War movie, and animated series… since then, Gears has been hotting up in a big way, but when it comes to the movie - it’s been radio silence.

This comes at a time when video game adaptations have never been more successful, and as we push ahead to xbox games showcase in June, I’ve got a few questions and thoughts that I wanted to get off my chest.
