Gears Of War 2 PC
If you didn't manage to get your hands on Gears of War and you're a PC gamer, I have some kind of good bad news for you. How's that? Well, if you can't get Gears of War 2, other PC gamers won't either! The sad truth is that, as far as current rumors go, Gears of War 2 will be released on Xbox 360 and stay there, unlike its predecessor. Even worse, we're talking about a bit more than just rumors...
...because Epic's Cliff Bleszinski himself explained to IGN that even the first Gears of War game was primarily targeting the Xbox 360 platform: "Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around."
Epic released a bunch of great games for the PC so far, and I am thinking about the Unreal series, first of all, but titles such as Jazz Jackrabbit shouldn't be overlooked. While the Unreal Engine has been used by a lot of great PC games, it is really a pity to see the guys at Epic Games consider PC gaming "in disarray" and want to focus on consoles, but I am sure this is nothing but good news for console gamers, so not everyone has to lose!

Gee .. thanks. I feel so much better now that the console fanboys have to lose. Gears of War PC co-op was a blast. Thanks you bit torrent thieves and thank you Epic for not figuring out some decent anti-piracy security *cough* steam *cough*

No Game is complete unless it comes out for PC.Gears of War although may be glitchy on some machines but there were workarounds and the game was fantastic undoubtedly even with few glitches.It ran fine on Graphics card with 512 MB of RAM.Above all the game was designed in a way that it broke due to expired Digital Signatures.Admitted that PC version did not yield the Profits as expected but they must also check the faults at their end related to few bugs of that Gaming Software.Its a shame that they do not have any effective Anti Piracy method to prevent misuse of their Games / Software.Whatever the case may be I must say that EPIC did a great job with Gears Of War for PC and I really appreciate the talent and hard work of the people involved.This does not mean that I will ever switch over to xBox just to play Gears2 becoz PC / Laptops are always more fun and portable.
