Gears Cheers #1: Bosses rule for a reason

by Mike on April 12th, 2008

Only PC gamers get Brumak love

I’ve have ranted about Gears of War’s PC port for quite a bit, but that’s only because I had high expectations. The Xbox 360 version was the next best thing since sliced bread. However, I wanted to experience the same thing without the risk of a certain console’s insufficient cooling.

Gears of War’s technical problems may have pushed me to the brink of an aneurysm, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the game. When a crucial update finally took away my agony, I knew my time to enjoy the game was due.

And you know what? I was right. I’ve been having a blast.

My first reason to cheer: The boss fights are immensely satisfying. You’re looking at the PC equivalent of those Zelda bosses that caused your heart to pound like a jackhammer. The battle against the Corpser, for example, had me thinking how to take down the nasty arachnid before it destroys the ground I’m standing on.

Watch how to beat the Corpser after the jump.

Admittedly, Gears‘ boss fights don’t seem as punishing (yet). But who am I to judge? I’ve yet to finish the game. Ask me again in a couple of weeks. Or when I’ve played all the shooters in GameHopper. Whichever comes first.
