We got you all pumped up for the launch of Gears of War 2 by showering you with trailers&videos and even going as far as to making a guide to help you successfully navigate the GOW2 launch. We warned you of the glitches. We even took the time to compare the Flashback maps to the original 'Gears' game and kept you informed when the Combustible maps dropped. So you should have no reason to not be informed and not playing GOW2 on a regular basis. That being said, Microsoft is throwing down $25k to people playing (aka you) over 13 days. The details are below... but to some it up, play and win.
