Ó
After months of rumors, whispered secrets, technical hints, and sidestepped theories, the word is finally out. Yes, Gears of War will make its appearance on the Windows platform. According to a recent press release, the best-selling Xbox 360 title was included among the many gaming titles Microsoft announced for Windows at E3. While the release dates are vague, news like this might get some gamers dancing with joy.
According to Microsoft, Gears of War will be available to both XP and Vista users, putting an end to a lot of speculation that only the Vista would enjoy having the game. Along with enhanced graphics taking advantage of the latest Directx10 technology, the Windows version of Gears of War will also offer five new campaign chapters, new multiplayer modes, and a game editor exclusive to PC versions.
