Gears of War Triple Pack hits retail on Feb. 15

A previously rumored bundle containing the first two Gears of War games is now official and headed to retail, several months before the debut of Gears of War 3. The Gears of War Triple Pack includes the brotastic original game and its sequel, along with the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Pack. On top of the 19 multiplayer maps in All Fronts, it has Marcus and Dom playing dress-up to get into the biggest Locust party of the year in the single-player DLC, "Road to Ruin."

This doesn't mean that everything is on the disc, however. The fine print notes that maps from Gears' Multiplayer Map Pack 1 and "Hidden Fronts" map pack are not on the disc, but are available from Xbox Live at no charge. The $30 bundle will be available on February 15, perfect for a post-Valentines Day massacre.
