Microsoft launches Gears of Wars: Judgment for Xbox 360 for Rs. 2,999

Microsoft has announced the launch of one of the most anticipated games of the year, Gears of Wars: Judgment, the fourth instalment in the popular Gears of War series.

The Gears of War: Judgment story unveils through a series of flashbacks. It is played from the perspective of the Kilo Squad, led by tech-geek Damon Baird, as they battle ferocious new enemies with an expanded arsenal of weapons. As war rages around them, the entire Kilo Squad including the flamboyant Augustus The Cole Train Cole is put on trial. Gamers can experience first-hand the events that led up to their court-martial as the events are recounted during the trial - how the Kilo Squad struggles to fight off the Locust horde, as they burst from the ground on Emergence Day, led by a terrifying new Locust Leader: General Karn.

The OverRun mode allows gamers to form five-player teams that take turns at pitting Locust and COG soldiers in a head-to-head battle. If players want to up the ante and make the game more difficult, there is an option to do just that. One can increase the difficulty level by declassifying critical information with the new Declassified Testimony system. By declassifying testimony within the course of the campaign, weapons and alternate scenarios will be unlocked and change the way enemies are fought against going forward.

Speaking at the launch of Gears Of War: Judgment, Anshu Mor, Business Group Lead - Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft Corporation India Pvt. Ltd. said, "We are delighted to launch the next edition of Gears of War - the game that has enthralled millions of players across the world. With Gears of War: Judgment, gamers get to find out what led to the events of the Gears universe, Emergence Day and to delve deep into the personal stories of the new game lead: Damon Baird and the rest of the Kilo squad."

Gears of Wars: Judgment is now available for Xbox 360 for Rs. 2,999.

Gears of Wars originally released in November 2006 on the Xbox. It is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 18 million games worldwide.
