Everyone's favorite grey-and-brown third-person shooter is going multi-platform - by the end of this year you'll be able to watch the Gears of War turn on Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS.

"So what?" you say snarkily, "I've already played through Gears of War seven times on my Xbox 360!"

True enough. But have you played through Gears of War...with a truckload of bonus content? Bonus content like:

...three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer game type, game editor, five new campaign chapters, and DirectX 10 support.

I didn't think so.
