    I was just watching the MS E3 Show and I found out that GoW is coming to PC. I never heard even a rumor of this happening.....is this old news or am I not the only one that is really glad about this?\

    They are going to have a massive amount of new content to the single player and multi player.

    I'm definitely going to pick this one up.

    Yeah, the intro kinda hinted at it being old news... A video was leaked to youtube a few days/a week ago.

    Looks pretty amazing. Cliffy said it will work with Vista and XP, which was prob. a mistake on his part since i'm almost positive windows live games req. vista.(it'll be like shadowrun)

    If you think about it, Gears of War is the xbox 360s version of Halo 2 for xbox. You just get the same sorts of jack asses on it and its the same gameplay... i know all this and i have never even played the game.

    Musings...

    I would guess that Microsoft see the 360 and "Games for Windows" as one single platform and do not see a distinction between PC and console. So long as a IP remains exclusive to them, I think we will see many more 360 and PC releases
