Blend Games is your source for news, previews, reviews and all-out brawls between huge exclusives slated for your favorite consoles. And as any hardcore gamer knows, Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 are aimed to be two of the biggest first-party exclusives of the year. But don't just take my word for it, both Sony and Microsoft have their respective games launching within days of each other to just to see who eats up more of the fall software market. But let's get back to the present. Currently, Resistance 2 leads Gears of War 2 by one entire round. It wasn't quite a sweep, but the stats were clearly in favor of Resistance 2 in Blend Games first round bout.
Round 2 is a much more straight-forward battle; it's a battle of features. But I don't need to spend several paragraphs explaining how this works. Just like in the first round, you (the fans), will vote for the game that prompts to have the more appealing list of [known] gameplay features. As you all know, of course, what's on paper is never going to determine how fun a game will be in realtime. However, a list of certain features will sway specific gamers toward a title if said feature(s) is something they're really looking forward to (i.e., weapon balance, map size, boss battles, etc.) So without further ado, let's get on to Round
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.
My take:
Single player
3, 2, 1
Multiplayer
3, 1, 2
Overall
3, 2, 1
I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.
Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.
I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Gears of war = 37%
Resistance 2 = 63%
Nuff said!
have to ask yourself. "What the fu*k does this mean to me?"
The answer is "Fu*k all"
