Talk about hitting it out of the park. Once again and pretty much as expected, the release of Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 360 is going to be big, if the reviews are any indication.

The reviews started coming in last night with scores that place it right at the top, with lots of nine of out ten scores; this is certain to make developer Epic and publisher Microsoft happy. The reviews that we have read indicate that the title is strong as expected with a number of new twists to keep the game fresh.

The multiplayer seems to be better than ever, and the beta didn’t even do it justice. It is obvious that the extra time that Epic had to work on the title before release was very well spent.
