The buildup around this game had nearly everything a fan could ask for. After having to wait in anticipation for nearly three years after the release of Gears Of War 2, players were eagerly waiting to “finish the fight,” so to say, against the Locust Horde. This was meant to serve as the conclusion to the trilogy of games created by Epic Games. Gears Of War 3 launched on September 20, 2011, and was widely accepted by critics and fans alike. This month we are celebrating 10 years since the release of the absolute spectacle that is Gears Of War 3. We were treated to absolute gems with the likes of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Portal 2, Dark Souls, and so many more that this list could go on and on.
This was a year that offered an abundance of killer video game titles that were consistently released back to back. The only way to describe the year 2011 is that it was simply built differently.
