I was looking into buying a new PC game to play around with and I noticed they made Gears of War 1 for PC (Vista).

So I have two questions:
1) Do they plan on adding GoW 2 to PC?
2) When it says Vista Live enabled I remember that when I was considering buying Halo 2 for PC it expected me to buy Xbox Live to be able to play online. I assume this is the same for GoW but what about solo play? Would they expect me still to pay for Xbox live to even have the game?
It feels like a dumb questions but I don't feel like spending money only to find out that they want me to fork over $60/month or w/e to play GoW

Windows live is free now I think.

Not sure if you really want to actually buy the game seeing as there are many ways of acquiring it for free.

Legal or illegal? I rather just avoid the trouble of illegal methods and pay the $30 CAD

As for free Xbox Live? How do I sign up for that?

It is free.

Depends on what your view of illegal is.

The wording behind it all makes it somewhat sketchy.

Downloading it to try it with the intent to buy it doesn't make it illegal.

Windows live I believe you can sign up for from within the game.
