Still no sign of Gears of War for the PC in the Philippines

Yes, I lurk at my retailer’s site on a constant basis. I even call them everyday to check. But despite my efforts, there’s still no news of Gears’ PC version. My only assurance that it’s coming this month is the Upcoming Games section at the lower right part of the screen. It says November 2007, but not much else.

The main problem? I’ve no other choice. DataBlitz is the only known retailer in our country. Not very reassuring when you see that their latest games include Command & Conquer 3, which came out last March; and The Sims 2’s Bon Voyage expansion, which arrived last September.

Even Hellgate: London came out really early here. Yes, the “spiritual successor” of the Diablo games arrived on October 31 Manila time, which means a full day earlier than North America. Have I mentioned that I’m not impressed with the game?

But there’s no sign of Gears of War.
