The smash hit Gears of War 2 hits 2.1 Million sales in its opening weekend on general sale… now by our calculations 2,100,000 x $60/£40 = a lot of money for Epic and Microsoft. Gears 2 also broke a Xbox Live record of serving 1.5 million playing Gears online - now that is a lot! We also unlocked 19 million achievements which, I contributed 32 too

Now although I love Gears of War 2 and have been massively impressed with it I want to take a few minutes away from singing its praises and concentrate on all of those niggly bits that have annoyed me. Only read on if you have completed the campaign mode as this contains spoilers.

Last week we reported that Fallout 3 had been cracked and put on a torrent site but now we have just been informed that Gears of War 2 has also been leaked.
