What better a way to gain new fans of the critically acclaimed series than through this special offer? An Xbox LIVE token will be included in the bundle for immediate download of Gears of War 1.

According to Microsoft: more than half of the consumers who played Gears of War 3 haven’t played the first game a very surprising finding on their part. For a $20 value, getting a game free is totally worth the effort buying it opening day. This deal is only being offered at launch, so make sure to purchase the game in that window. This being a prequel to the original game, it’s a perfect complement to newcomers to the series. When you purchase a copy of Gears of War: Judgment at launch, the game will also come with a free copy of the first game in the Gears of War franchise. In the campaign, it makes you and the enemies both more vulnerable but provides fewer ammo and supply drops giving the game more of a survival focus.If you haven’t played the original Gears of War, then you’re in luck. In Horde Mode, it makes you weaker and the enemies stronger. Inconceivable mode ramps up the difficulty beyond Insane to compensate for the additional powers and higher level caps being added. There are also two new difficulty levels to try out, Inconceivable and Ironman. Powers can also be leveled up to Level 6 now. This latest update adds 15 new Horde Skills, three for each class, new boss loot, and a new UI that reveals all "Power drops" on the battlefield. The free-play event falls on the heels of the " Rise of the Horde" DLC's release a few days ago. Gears of War 4 will be discounted during the trial period. Like most other timed trials, you also get to keep all of your earned multiplayer loot and rewards, if you pay for the full game. The trial does include unlimited play of the co-op and versus multiplayer modes, but if you finish the first act of the campaign in under ten hours, you'll have to unlock it to continue.


The trial version is the full game on a 10-hour timer with a lock, so if you decide to buy it, your purchase simply removes the lock. From now until June 15, players can download and play Gears of War 4 for free.
