Gears of War PC has shipped - buy it for me

Well as previously posted, Gears of War is now available for your PC gaming needs.  Just a reminder it comes with 5 new campaign levels, all the content release to date on the xbox360 version, a new achievement list (though VERY similar to the original).  All that and it’s priced less ($49.99 MSRP) then what you would pay for a used xbox360 copy  and um…well runs on your PC - so dont go stuffing it into your 360.  My birthday is just about a month away - as is Christmas, so if you are so inclined feel free to buy me a copy, I will give you my address Continue reading »

Get Ready to Saw Your Foes in Half….Again

That’s right boys and girls Gears of War PC has been officially announced as gold, and on schedule for the November 6th release date.  It isn’t going the route of shadowrun and having cross platform play, but its got me really interested.  The game is a LIVE game, so a new group of achievements are ready for you to unlock - but more importantly the PC release will contain ”all of the content from its Xbox 360 counterpart and all previously released downloadable content (seven multiplayer maps and the Annex game mode)” but also five new campaign chapters, exclusive multiplayer maps, a king of the hill gametype, and you will be able to create your own maps.  All for MSRP of $49.99 (the xbox360 game still goes for $54.95 used without any of the DLC!)

Guaranteed to make console gamers envious.
