b'Welcome to Geekscape\\u2019s newest gaming podcast, Xbox Game Passengers.\\n\\nEvery other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\\u2019s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.\\n\\nWhether it\\u2019s a magical or a horrible experience, they\\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show.\\n\\nThis episode, Mike returns to chat about one of his favourite series of all time, Gears of War. Specifically, they\'re playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, the impressive Xbox One remake that sadly (somehow) isn\'t Xbox One X Enhanced. The duo dish about their favourite moments, their history with the series, and why Derek has to play every game inverted.\\n\\n"Experience the game that launched one of the most celebrated sagas in entertainment with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. The shooter that defined the first generation of HD gaming has been painstakingly remastered in 1080P and modernized for Xbox One, and is packed full of new content including five campaign chapters never released on Xbox. The story of "Gears of War" thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the depths of the planet. Players live and breathe the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warriors from below."\\n\\nWe\\u2019ve had a blast making Xbox Game Passengers so far, and we really hope that you\\u2019re enjoying it too!
