Epic Games' Gears of War franchise is going from the television set to the tabletop.

A board game based on the popular third-person shooter for Xbox 360 is slated to launch at the end of August.

According to the board game's official website at Fantasy Flight Games, one to four players fight as COG soldiers attempting to take out the Locust horde in a variety of missions.

Each set includes 30 plastic figures, 35 Locust AI cards, attack and defense dice, map tiles and other tokens.

The game's website lists the price at $69.95, but an Amazon page selling the game has it for $79.99.

What do you think of the board game? Any other video games that might translate well onto the tabletop?
