The "Hidden Fronts" map pack for Gears of War will be released on Live Marketplace this Thursday.

It'll cost you 800 points if you want it right away, or you can wait until 3rd September when it'll be free to download.

Included is Bullet Marsh, a Kryll-infested swamp lit by power from a dodgy old generator. You might even consider knocking out the power so people have to fend for themselves in the dark - if you were that way inclined.

Then there's the Garden, which rather than being a source of summer pride is, instead, overgrown and doused in pesticide. And it'll play havoc with your lungs if you haven't had a sufficient dose of clean air before venturing in.

Process is a team affair built around a subterranean Imulsion processing plant, while Subway takes place in Timgad's Central station that's now overrun with Locust.

Tom reckons it's all an elaborate plan to detract UK residents from voting in the local elections. What do you think?
