Gears of War: Judgement will be released today on the Xbox 360 and if you have played Gears games before you would realise the amount of unclockables and content the games usually have.

This guide will tell you how to collect them all and if you are looking to get most of the achievements in the game, you’ve come to the right place. The game is developed by People Can Fly and published by Microsoft.
