Unlockable Guide to Gears of War 3 plus paid DLC day one

Everyone here knows that I’m a huge Gears of War 3 fan right?  So let me be the first to say that I’m not a fan of this day one DLC of weapon skins.  In fact, I’m not a fan of selling paint for weapons in Gears of War 3 period.  It’s nearly as bad as the horse armor fiasco with Bethesda.  MTV did a great job at identifying all the things you can aim for but still paying for paint is ridiculous.

At any rate, here’s your unlockable guide to all things Gears of War 3.  It’ll show you what you need to do in order to unlock characters, weapons and even mutators.  I didn’t even know Gears of War 3 had these in place for the third game.  What’s with the mutators? I have no doubt that I will love this game but the little things like this are a bit unsettling.

    [...] for details.  Until then, get a glimpse at all the COG characters as well as the weapon skins that you can purchase.  I don’t think I’ll be buying any weapon skins but there are a few that look pretty [...]
