Gears of War confirmed for PC?

Promo photo hints at Epic's blasterpiece leaving 360 exclusivity behind

A promotional image in the new issue of PC Gamer here in the states - page 28, to be exact - suggests that thrill-a-minute blastfest Gears of War is heading for release on PC.

Copies of Gears of War, displayed in Games For Windows-branded cases, line up in the image alongside Flight Simulator X and Halo 2, with a caption reading "Now playing at a store near you."

Above:  Well, of course it's a 360 screen. If Microsoft won't even admit there is a PC version yet, do you really think they would have given us PC screens?

The image appears during a feature focusing on Windows Vista and Microsoft's efforts to provide the new operating system with top quality games. While it might not confirm Gears of War is PC-bound, the game's success on 360 (Microsoft expects to sell a million copies by Christmas) would make a PC release an attractive proposition.

Plus, it seems odd that with all the other games in the image already planned for PC release, Microsoft would allow PC Gamer to use a promo image featuring a game that wasn't headed to PC.

Why should you care? Check out our review of Gears of War for 360 here, and ask that question again, we dare you.
