Gears of War 2 Achievements:-

Game arrives on Australian shores November 7th.

Microsoft and Epic Games have announced the near-complete list of achievements that gamers will be able to collect while they kick Locust ass in Gears of War 2 both offline and over Xbox LIVE*.

The action blockbuster ‘Gears of War 2’ will reach Australia shores on November 7.  In addition to the standard retail version (priced $AU99.95 RRP), Gears of War 2 will be offered in a Limited Collector’s Edition ($AU119.95 RRP) through participating retailers.

* Trivia Note: The game Gears Of War was coined after hearing a term from returning soldiers who used the phrase, “The gears of war are oiled by the blood of soldiers”. Cliff did not want any connection with the term Unreal, as he wanted the game to be seen as something completely different to what Epic had become known for.
