IGN - Gears isn't a third-person, cover-based shooter for iPad. You won't find blood, guts or any swearing hulks of man like in Gears of War here. Instead, what you get is a great platformer, akin to the classic Marble Madness, only relatively easier and with controls that make excellent use of Apple's portable systems.

Having enjoyed a popular run — or rather roll — on iOS devices with a reported 1.5 million downloads to date, Mobot Studios has confirmed that it will be porting and publishing hit title Gears to Wii U for release sometime this Spring.

The Pocket Gamer team has thought long and hard, played some games, Googled furiously, thought some more, and come up with a list of ten great Unity-powered time wasters.

Gamesradar: For a legion of modern console gamers, Gears has become accepted shorthand for the Gears of War series – especially now, as the Gears of War 3 beta rages on in advance of its September release. But you won't find Delta Squad, COG Tags, or grotesque violence in Gears for iPhone and iPad.
