To compliment our E3 hands-on impressions of the multiplayer mode in “Gears of War,” we’ve added these 7 high-resolution screenshots made available for the first time after Microsoft’s recently concluded press briefing.

If you haven’t checked out our hands-on impressions of “Gears of War” yet, I invite you to do so right here. Gamers will be surprised when they are forced to shift the traditional third person shooter combat paradigm from run-and-gun to pop-and-cover.
“Gears of War” is still aiming for an Emergence Day 2006 release. Translation: an Xbox 360 game with a red skull on the box better be on store shelves before New Year’s Eve.
