Gears of War 2 is an Xbox 360 game that show's a fight for mankind. Gears of War takes place on the fictional Earth- like planet Sera. There was a golden age of culture, science, and arts going on right before the war. The planet was running out of energy so they need a new source of energy which came from underground.The energy source was valued by The Coalition of Governments and the Union of Independent Republics fought for the source which was eventually won by the COG's. After the war was over the human race was attacked by the Locust's an underground zombie like creature, and almost completely wiped out everybody. The Locust's attacked the human's because they took their power source away, and they are angry. They also believe the human race brought this upon themselves because they were so greedy.
This video game focuses mainly on the perspective of the human's but I found it interesting how we really don't understand the Locust's perspective. It makes them look as the bad guys when we came into their home in the underground and took away their power. Human's always seem to get themselves into different war's which display's the human love for war. Being human in the world of Planet Sera means that you are either taking shelter amongst the ruins or fighting for humanity and joining the war effort. Human's are afraid of these creattures, and believes the human race will end. Our depiction of the future reveals about the present that people are insecure about energy needs, and a war that could almost end humanity.
