It seems to be prequel season in videogames. Especially when it comes to cult series. We had just been given a glimpse of what Lara Croft was before she became THE Lara Croft in the latest Tomb Raider game, while God of War: Ascension took us to the early days of the mighty Kratos, before he started tangling with Zeus and the other Gods. And now we have Gears of War, one of the most popular titles for the Xbox, yanking us into territory that does not feature perhaps the game’s most iconic character, Marcus Fenix, in its latest title, Gears of War: Judgement. Interestingly, this is also the first Gears of War game to be made by Polish studio People Can Fly (best known for the uber violent Painkiller and Bulletstorm).
