About Gears of War E-Day
For those unaware, the reason there’s so much hype for the upcoming installment, Gears of War: E-Day, is that it arrives as a prequel, set 14 years before Gears of War. Popular characters Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago make an appearance again, this time returning home to face a new threat: the Locust Horde. The Locust Horde is a subterranean monster that is laying siege to humanity itself.
