At long last we finish our journey through the universe of Cliff Blezinski’s Gear of War series, and it ends, not with a bang, but with a half-hearted cash-in.

GoW: Judgement is a prequel about Damon Baird and his Kilo Squad blundering around and blowing stuff up for really no reason. They tell the story of their blundering while sitting in trial for war crimes, waiting to be judged by Colonel Ezra “The Dumbest Man In The World” Loomis. Will this declassified tale shed light on any of the setting’s remaining mysteries?

No, not really. But hey, we got Space Russians!
