Do you GFW?

Gearsofwarboxshotang2

Halo2forvistaboxshotang_2 Now that Gears of War has been released for Windows, are you going to be playing it?  I haven't gotten my copy yet, but I got a chance to play it at this years PAX.  I tried it with both the keyboard/mouse and Xbox 360 controller.  Both played well, but  I have to say I have really been enjoying using my Xbox 360 controller with Halo 2 and Shadowrun and I will be playing Gears PC the same way.  I grabbed a wireless receiver for windows so I can use the same wireless controller and headset.  Plus now I can play minesweeper with the controller and it shakes when a bomb explodes.  You laugh, but I know some of you will try it! 

I have also been impressed with Shadowrun for the fact that both versions share the same achievements and online play, it's pretty seamless and I hope to see more of this.

So who's playing on Windows?  Is it for the additional achievements?  Do you want to see more integration? Do you feel like you are cheating on your Xbox?  Feel free to sound off in the forums

Call me stupid, but I never knew that you could play with the 360 controller. I may try that.

You just gave me a great idea. You should bring back blogging about GFW games and whenever you play them have the Xbox say that you are cheating on it or something like that.

Don't forget that there's something like 5 new chapters in the single player campaign, three new multi-player maps and then the map editor. I'm buying it just for the extra story pieces in the campaign (and the Brumak fight, of course).
