Gears of War 3's Horde 2.0 mode stresses the importance of erecting and fortifying barriers, but here's an idea: With enough cash, a player can lay down rail tracks in an encircling pattern around their team's bunker. A drivable train then materializes which kills any foolish enemy standing in its way. This only works if the purchaser yells, "All aboard the Cole Train!" (with appropriate "woo! woo!" noises) over voice chat beforehand. What do you think?

• Hard-voiced COG amazon Anya Stroud briefs Gears of War 3 soldiers on surviving the brutal Horde 2.0 mode. If you'd rather get your info from one of the most beautiful tables ever devised, we can do that.
Continue after the break for the exquisitely detailed destruction of a woman's face in Amy, a young Templar's search for his father in The Cursed Crusade, and Middle-earth's version of air support in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.
• Behold the impressively robust graphics engine of Amy, a PlayStation Network game which — oh God, the veins. Veins everywhere. Excuse me while I blunder after the pair of eyeballs that just popped out of my head in horror.
• Religious zealotry doesn't deter Templar Denz de Bayle's pursuit of his father in The Cursed Crusade. Things should go well as long as he doesn't run into a certain white-hooded fellow.
• The majestic eagle named Beleram helps the heroes of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North with hooked beak and scything talons. I see someone picked up the "seek the mythical giant bread crumb" quest back in town.
