E61 - Gears of War – The Chainsaw That Changed Gaming

In this episode of Tangent Retro Gaming Podcast, Toby dives deep into the gritty, chainsaw-revving world of Gears of War — the Xbox 360 classic that redefined third-person shooters. From its jaw-dropping visuals and brutal cover-based combat to the unforgettable sound of a Lancer revving up, this episode breaks down what made Gears of War a generation-defining experience.

Toby explores the game’s intense atmosphere, the camaraderie of Delta Squad, and how it pushed the limits of storytelling and multiplayer action in 2006. Whether you fought through the Locust hordes back in the day or you’re just discovering this epic for the first time, this episode will take you right back to the dark corridors of Sera — where every reload mattered.

So grab your controller, reload your Lancer, and join Toby for a nostalgic look at one of Xbox’s most iconic franchises.
