   If I had a dollar for every time Gears of War was rumoured to be headed for the PC, I'd probably be out right now getting smashed drunk. And by the time I'd get home, I'd be might happy to find another dollar rumour claiming the exact same thing. This time the story comes from Switzerland, where a Microsoft release list reportedly shows Epic's "Xbox 360 exclusive" game as being set to launch on Windows Vista at the end of 2007.

   The news apparently originates from the German website ConsoleWars, and we really hope this isn't just a prank of theirs, in return for yesterday's news that the Xbox 360 version of Gears of War failed to receive an official age rating in Germany (meaning that Germans will have to import it if they want to play it).

   Here's what a rough translation of ConsoleWars' story tells us:
"According to a current Microsoft release list from Switzerland is to appear Gears OF was soon also for the PC. At the end of of 2007 will be available the Game for the PC Windows Vista."    Take it with a grain of salt if you so wish, but better yet try taking a look at the big picture. Epic's Unreal engine is more than suited for running on the PC, and this wouldn't be Microsoft's first false-exclusive title. Halo, Halo 2, Fable, Jade Empire... See the pattern? In average, the delay between the PC and the original Xbox version of all these games is around 20 months. And if that's anything to go by, it does make sense for Gears of War to be released on the PC between 1 and 2 years after the Xbox 360 "Emergence Day" - November 12, 2006.
