In an announcement that surprised no one, Gears of War 3 was exclusively unveiled on the Jimmy Fallon show. Followers of the franchise expected it, especially after the cliff hanger of Gears 2 and after last week’s scheduling gaff, the cat was well and truly out of the bag.

Why pretend that you are Marcus Fenix, when you can actually be him? Especially now that you can wear the armour and carry a real automatic rifle with Chainsaw Bayonet. Although I would like to point out that the weapons supplied with this costume are purely decorative, if you could call it such a thing.
