Gears of War: E-Day Review Scores Are High, but Likely Won’t Stay That Way

After a few brutal months of bad news, Xbox players finally have a little something to look forward to. The reviews are in for Gears of War: E-Day, the new prequel to Xbox's iconic third-person shooter series, and critics are impressed with developer The Coalition's latest. The jury is still out on the full game, though, as critics were only able to evaluate the shooter's single-player campaign ahead of launch. Its popular horde and multiplayer modes were not available for review.
