After all the roadie running and chainsaw lancering, Marcus Fenix deserves a nice quiet retirement. Except in Gears of War 4, 25 years after he gave up the Gears life, it's all gone to pot again for him and his protagonist offspring JD Fenix. Spare a thought for old man Marcus and these other would-be retired heroes in Show of the Week. Subscribe for this show weekly! http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox

Former Green Beret Bill Overbeck of Left 4 Dead fame, for instance, had every right to be grumpy even before there were sprinting zombies trying to take a bite out of his superannuated flesh. But then the zombie epidemic pulled him out of retirement, and now he's running and gunning and hurling Molotov Cocktails like a man half his age.

Or consider 65-year-old Ezio Auditore, who we find tending his grapes in short film Assassin's Creed Embers. This was in Italy in the 16th Century, mind, when life expectancy was somewhere around your late 40s to early 50s, so we gather the secret to a long healthy life is olive oil and jumping off tall things.
