WHAT IS GEARS OF WAR: RELOADED?
Crush the Locust threat in the iconic original third-person cover shooter that started it all.

An inmate named Marcus Fenix – once left to die – is freed by his best-friend and former squadmate, Dominic Santiago. Outnumbered and outgunned, Marcus and Dom must work together with the other members of Delta squad to defeat the Locust threat and save humanity from utter extinction.
