X Review: GoW Series 1

review-history01

I’m not familiar with this Gears of War game. So I’m sure some of what I have to say will enrage some of you hardcore gamers. I apologize if my information is somewhat lacking, but I refuse to post full wikipedia entries for you. For those that want to know more, you can drop in HERE and see more information on these characters and others.

That said, we’ll start this off. Sergeant Marcus Fenix is the main protagonist of the series, who, after a series of unfortunate events, ends up leading the COG(Coalition of Ordered Governments) Delta Squad.

Corporal Damon Baird is a smart-mouthed, skeptical cynic, whose intelligence makes him a very capable mechanic and hacker. Initially, he is a member of Alpha Squad, but is folded into Delta along with fellow soldier, Augustus Cole. He often makes sarcastic remarks and frequently undermines Fenix’s authority.

Private Clayton Carmine is the eldest of the three Carmine brothers, and bears tattoos honoring his younger siblings, also members of Delta Squad, who died in combat. Clayton’s survival in the game was due to the results of a fan voting contest by Epic, ultimately determining his fate.

review-background01

From their respective “filecards” on the cardbacks.

Marcus Fenix

Marcus Fenix established himself as a war hero during the pendulum wars. He was on the fast track to an outstanding military career until the monstrous Locust Horde emerged from the underground. Now leading Delta Squad, he simply fights for survival.

Damon Baird

Damon Baird is ruthless in battle and regularly decorated and promoted for his tactical genius. Unfortunately, he is then demoted for his frequent bouts of insubordination and bad attitude. His intellect and engineering skills come in handy for battlefield repairs or understanding Locust strategy. After years of fighting, his only remaining motivation is self-preservation. He’ll do whatever it takes to get through the war alive – Even march alongside a troublemaker like Fenix.

Clayton Carmine

Clayton is the quintessential Gear. He’s everything his brothers Anthony and Benjamin aspired to become – Strong, confident, and ready to do what it takes to ensure that every Locust in front of him is dead before he walks away.
