Marcus Fenix et al might well be paying a call on Games for Windows PC users at the end of 2009. IGN picked up on an unconfirmed rumor which sees a PC listing for Gears of War 2 complete with temporary box art, release date and UPC code.
According to one website, there were plenty of details that appeared to be pulled from an upcoming press release and even a preliminary box shot with the Games for Windows logo stamped on the front and limited edition details.

If this were true, this would be a large boost to the seemingly dead Games for Windows platform, particularly after a non-existent showing at this year's E3, where none of the titles shown displayed the banner or Live logo on the box.
When pressed, Microsoft denied that a PC version of Gears of War 2 was coming, saying "There are no plans to bring the game to the PC."

Gears of War 2: PC users to get a little taste of the action later this year?



Bryn says: Let's be honest for a moment. Why the hell wouldn't Gears of War 2 eventually make its way to the PC? There's literally no good reason I can think of. Surely the costs of porting this game over to PC would easily be recouped (and then some) by sales of this very popular franchise.

Seems like a total no-brainer.
