I'm thinking about getting Gears on the PC even though I already beat it on the 360 just for the extra content. Is there any extra content worth playing in GeOW PC before GeOW 2 comes out? Also, if I already have the 360 achievements, will I still be able to unlock the achievements again (and add to my gamerscore) by playing the PC version?
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Difference between GeOW PC and GeOW 360
All it has is an extra act against the Brumak. It takes place between Act 4 and Act 5. The PC version isn't worth it in my opinion and I ended up selling it after I beat its campaign. The achievements will unlock if you do what the description says and it will add to your 360 Gamerscore if you use your XBL gamertag. The achievements are seperate since they are diff. games. There's no cross platform MP though and isn't worth the money.

That way I could play with my friends that came over or something if they are worried about the competitive difference.

I run a pretty standard gaming rig. 2gigs ram, 8800GT, Dual Core. I get about 90fps average on max settings. It controls better with a mouse and a keyboard than a controller for me, but that's just preference.
And it's not debatable that it looks better on PC than 360 if you can support max settings and some AA.
