Gears of War 2 Game of the Year Edition shipping soon photo

Gears of War 2 Game of the Year Edition is happening. GameStop is now taking pre-orders for a newly packaged version of the billion-year-old shooter. Priced at $39.99, this edition’s value stems from the ten s--tloads of downloadable content thrown into the mix. The "All Fronts Collection" -- nineteen multiplayer maps and the ‘deleted scene’ campaign mission -- ships with it as (update) a redeemable code.

If you’ve been looking for a way to get into Gears of War 2 on the cheap without going the “Used” route, this seems like the best way to do it. The game is a rollercoaster of awesome and the multiplayer component isn’t too shabby if you stay away from the majority of public people (read: cheaters).

Gears 2 GOTY hits GameStop September 1st.

How many games of the year were there last year?

I have the flashback pack but not the premium map packs. I've been meaning to grab some MS points and get All Fronts. My guess is that All Fronts is just included on the game disc. All the map packs for Gears 2 are really small download sizes unlike pretty much every other game. They weigh in at like 80 MB.

Who gave Gears of War 2 the game of the year award? Gears of War one received it when it first came out back in 2006, but nowhere have I read Gears of War 2 receiving this award.

What a crock of shit. Game of the year according to whom? I'll tell you what, I'll leave you with a direct quote from one of the developers of this trash:

(In reference to a glitch) "We've known about that glitch for forever. We decided not to do anything about it"

When did Microsoft stop making PC ports of their games? I was looking forward to this coming over to PC, but it doesn't look like that'll be happening soon.

@Trebz:

They decided Gears 2 really would be a true Xbox 360 exclusive, unlike Gears of War and Mass Effect.

@brainderailment:

That's from the new Dark Corners DLC.

From [url=http://www.totalvideogames.com/Gears-of-War-2/feature-13270.html]an interview with CliffyB[url]:

Do you see the Xbox 360 as the main platform as opposed to the PC? During the whole Unreal time it was very much PC focused.

The PC right now is a fair amount different to what it was back in the day, with all the badly integrated video chips. Here's the problem right now; the person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know bit torrent to know all the elements so they can pirate software. Therefore, high-end videogames are suffering very much on the PC.

So piracy was a main point for you...

Right now, it makes sense for us to focus on Xbox 360 for a number of reasons. Not least PCs with multiple configurations and piracy.

But when the dust has settled, is there any possibility of Gears 2 on PC?

No.

Definitely not?

No.

I just broke down and re-bought this game a few weeks ago....no way I could ever justify buying it a third time, or buying All Fronts Collection

I think people are missing the point.
WHO GAVE THIS GAME A GOTY AWARD?

Cliffy B will be giving himself a GOTY award after he's done polishing his life-size golden statue of himself. After that he'll be treating himself to an evening of Hot Pockets and tentacle porn.

Don't forget about him bench-pressing his employees, with his grunting sounding like he's saying "HOST".

Gears of Fail 2 didn't win a game of the year award anywhere I want proof!

The only thing Gears 2 had was it's single player.

haha, sad little GoW2.

I bet a cereal box company woudlnt call that game of the year due to the fact they would lose their credibility.
;D

So...this game never received the GoTY award from anyone....so this is false advertisement.....so could somebody explain to me who the schizophrenic was that decided to name their title game of the year with out ever wining said award, please? I really want to know who thought this was a good idea. It kind of bothers me a little that they can even do that. I mean what if Hanna Montanans game does the same thing? It's complete lack of respect for the industry. If your title never received an award I don't think a company should be able to claim (especially not in the title) that they had won said award. This is a problem.

If I didn't pay $20 for GOW2 (on sale) and $20 for All Fronts, I'd be pissed about this.
