Gears of War 2: 12 days of Gearsmas event!

I want this ornament.

Horde mode is a blast, nobody can argue with that.  Love or hate Gears of War, horde mode is nothing short of genius.   Epic Games continues to award its fans with special events that alter the game-play and make old adventures feel new.  This holiday season let us celebrate with the merry sounds of grunting and evisceration, let us celebrate the 12 days of Gearsmas.
