After a year of exclusivity on the Xbox360, Microsoft and Epic Games have announced that the PC edition of Gears of War has begun shipping to stores world-wide today. The PC version features all kinds of new content, including five new campaign chapters, three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer mode (King of the Hill), a game editor and more! Here's a little snippet from the press release:
With the Xbox 360 version of the game selling more than 4 million copies to date, “Gears of War” has been lauded by critics for its gripping campaign and fast-paced multiplayer action. Windows gamers can look forward to the “Gears of War” experience for the very first time, and will get to choose between doing battle via mouse and keyboard, or using the Windows-enabled Xbox 360 controller. From renowned developer Epic Games, “Gears of War” for Windows will engage gamers in hyper-realistic combat, allowing players to fight for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
