Gears of War bundles first two games next month

Gears of War Ultimate is a new compilation releasing in February that'll include Gears of War 1 and 2 in a single, ultra-cheap $29.99 package.

That's according to a GameStop rep who just told CVG that the bundle will be out on February 16.

Wow..if it bundles both games and all the DLC..that'll be the deal of a lifetime for 30 bucks. Especially for the millions who bought a 360 this year. Could see a resurgence over Live.

Easily two of the best games this gen..period..

Great memories..look forward to Gears 3

The 1st was great, 2nd one... not so great (compared to the 1st of course). Anyways, nice bundles as expected.

LORD-PHOENIX4868d ago (Edited 4868d ago )

Surely there cant be that many 360 owners left who havnt got gears?

If you havnt this is the deal for you...

Gears is a game you can replay and never get bored well for me anyway.

Ratchet5104868d ago

gears is stupid and boring.

Perjoss4868d ago

looking at your bubbles, the stuff you normally talk about must be stupid and boring :)

GuyManDude4868d ago (Edited 4868d ago )

"Could see a resurgence over Live"

If they can find a game that isn't broken or filled with lag that is. Or did they get that fixed yet?

I can't help but smile every time I look at Gears 2's Metacritic (93), considering how flawed it really is.

1UP (A): As great as the campaign is, the game will see its longest legs from multiplayer.

G4 (5/5): The area where Gears of War 2 is positively brilliant is the multiplayer.

IGN (9.5): The world of Xbox Live will certainly be buzzing with Gears 2 for months and years to come thanks to the impressive package that comes on the disc.

Gets me every time.

i still play gears 2 online
you will get lag in about 1/10 to 15 games
which is a big improvement

still loving it

dragunrising4868d ago (Edited 4868d ago )

I don't disagree that the multiplayer (Gears 2) has/had problems, however I'm a little concerned by your amusement with a games Metacritic rating. You take the time to post reviewers comments and ratings? Makes you smile? Thats odd. Have you played Gears 2 lately? Gears 2 is largely a great game with a strong following even still. It just took a while to get to the state its in now. Kind of like (cough) MAG or SOCOM. Both of those games are much better as a result of updates, same with Gears. Regardless, I have high hopes that Gears 3 will be much better. If your interested in Gears 3, good. If not, gtfo troll.

The bundle is a great deal if your a new 360 owner or sold your copies (like me) and regret it.

STREET x KING4868d ago

i still play gears2 regularly. The lag is minimal and the game is fun. For not having interest in gears you sure read a few reviews there and you even went on metecritic. You sure sound interested if you smile at gears2 getting a 93 average.

dragonelite4868d ago

They fixed Gears 2 online atleast on horde mode.

HxCGamer4868d ago

@ all comments above

i think that he refers to that reviewers are usually nitpicking everything, and give other games with broken multiplayer bad reviews
yes yes gears is kind of fixed "now" , but when it came out it was a complete mess, and no reviewer seemed to take time in their reviews to mention it

reviews like the ones for GeoW2 really does show some bias from reviewers

bttttttttttttt stillll a great game
although the first one was a lot better

EVILDEAD3604867d ago

I NEVER had problems with Gears 2..because we played the amazing co-op campaign and I was addicted to Horde like crack...

Horde was NEVER broken at all

You could still play games with friends with no issues..the matchmaking had issues and was fixed

Cliffy is right though..even though they fixed it..people still pretended it was broke.

It would be great if they included a demo of Gears 3 in the package and of course I expect a beta code for Gears 3 multi-player. The demo would look something like this...

...and the beta like this...lol

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756108d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00108d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack108d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing108d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos108d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin108d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris108d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine108d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz108d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin113d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack112d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69113d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07113d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn112d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid112d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog112d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992112d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
