Episode 138 - Gears of War

The Last King Podcast

This week we're lancing through with another all videogames episode. This time we look back at the Gears of War franchise. With a new numbered entry out on Xbox One and PC, which also includes Steam finally! We felt it was high time we gave the series the old Last King retrospective treatment. The first game was a certified hit back in 2006, and along with Halo, were equally responsible for the initial success of the Xbox 360. It was followed up by an impressive sequel soon after, but from the third entry onwards, general interest in the games began to see a steady decline. Now with a new game and a new cast of characters to follow, we look back at every entry, including the one starring Baird. And ask the question; does the series still has what it takes to stay relevant in the gaming landscape of today.
