Microsoft have announced that fans of the smash hit blockbuster
Gears of War can further immerse themselves in the Gears of
War 2 experience by enjoying the alternate
 soundtrack
this Christmas.
Following on from the Mad World TV advert that accompanied
the first game, Microsoft have again delivered an emotive, cutting
edge TV ad for Gears of War 2 with Last Day. Invoking
the emotion and desperation of humanity’s last stand against
overwhelming odds, the ad uses the track How It Ends, by
Colorado-based band Devotchka.
To celebrate the tremendous success of the game, Microsoft are
offering the original track, an exclusive remix, and the original TV
spot all for the incredible value of 79p, available for download
from iTunes from tomorrow, Monday 1st Dec 2008.
Stephen McGill, Head of Gaming & Entertainment, Microsoft UK,
commented “Due to the incredible success of the game in the UK and
the insatiable demand for all things GOW2 from fans of the
franchise, we’re thrilled to be able to offer consumers the chance
to enjoy the track from the new TV ad campaign How It Ends as
a bona fide single release”.
Gears of War 2 is the biggest Xbox360 exclusive this
Christmas and provides an epic, adrenaline-fuelled rollercoaster
ride that expands upon the original game’s themes of loss, hope and
survival. On its opening weekend Gears of War 2 sold over
two-million copies worldwide, becoming one of the biggest videogame
launches of all time. |
