With Epic's Gears of War 2 slated to surface at retailers worldwide this Friday, publisher Microsoft has issued some new screenshots from the Xbox 360 action game.

Along with a glimpse of the game's HUD and split-screen, the shots offer up a look at the game's two gold-plated weapons. Both purely cosmetic changes, the gold-plated Harmmerburst will be available to those that participate in the Midnight Madness launch events, while a gold-plated Lancer will be packed in the $70 Limited Edition.

Don't get me wrong; it looks great. But I hope the PC version gets some sharper textures.

The gold weapons symbolise the pillaging of natural resources - enraging the indigenous population. Is it the Locust or Iraq? We must ask: are they destroyed beauty or beauty destroying? I'm sure there are at least three levels of symbolism, irony and meta-irony I'm missing here. All that aside, we can say for certain that the powerful themes of lost love, devotion and duty are perfectly represented by these golden weapons.
