Gears of War has never really held a large place in my heart. I mean, I have always enjoyed the games, but not the the extent that garnered its immeasurable success and adoring fans. To me, it had always been an enjoyable action title that could steal a few hours of my day. I had never been a huge fan of the multiplayer, and I definitely didn't care for the characters. They seemed to be throw away action heroes that had little impact on the world of gaming. Gears may be a staple in the industry, but Marcus really shouldn't be.
