While Tactics stays true to the lore and world-building of the original games, its gameplay can feel foreign to those who are new to turn-based tactical strategy games. Each move needs to be made carefully to ensure that all units survive and that your team doesn't get overwhelmed by the large hordes of enemies.

This makes knowing some battlefield basics key to succeeding in Gears Tacti

There is no better time to dust off the old Xbox 360 and replay the original Gears of War than after beating the story of Gears Tactics. Gears Tactics is a prequel to the original, so why not?

Another staple in the turn-based strategy genre, the Fire Emblem series is another great way to get into the genre. Fire Emblem is much different from Gears Tactics because it is a fantasy game rather than a science fiction game, so it's less about taking cover plus shooting and more about buffs and debuffs to take down enem

Sometimes someone is just going to have bad luck, but always make sure the units are spread out. When flanking enemy units, make sure there aren't any other soldiers in a position who can hit the player just as easily as the en

Sending troops to execute downed enemies not only provides a nice visceral animation to satisfy a player's bloodlust, but it also fires up your team, giving squad-mates more action points, which are required to perform, well, actions.

After years of teases, 343 finally showed off actual gameplay for Halo: Infinite . The demo gameplay showed Master Chief infiltrating a new Halo ring, fighting some familiar alien enemies, and racing around a large open landscape in the Warthog off-road vehicle. The gameplay seemed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia, looking similar to some classic areas from the first game, even with new and modern features built in like the grappling hook and drop wall equipm

Surprisingly, a few studios were not present, though it's likely that they'll make an appearance at a later date. Microsoft confirmed it has more digital events planned in 2020, so it hasn't exhausted everything planned for the Xbox Series

At the July 23 showcase, Double Fine revealed it had again partnered with Jack Black, showing a scene Where Is The Unseen Razor Quest Black sings during a really trippy segment of gameplay.
