Gears is a good game but this is just going to far. What makes Gears good is the gameplay and online, and thats all. Storyline is crap, characters are not creative, way too short, and bad guys too are not creative (they all look alike). Oh and games are not movies (like Dryker said). Games are supposed to be long and interesting storyline, good gameplay, good characters and good mulyiplayer. Gears only has 2/5 of those things. Oh, and just to point out something, im not a sony fan, im a fan of nothing, i just play games.

I've read a lot of posts claiming that Gears of War is overrated and although I am a huge fan of the game, I can understand why some may feel this way. Compared to epic endeavors the likes of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Final Fantasy XII, that have so much "depth" and background, one could possibly find Gears of War on the rather "shallow" side, but this was precisely Cliffy B.'s intention. A year or more ago, Cliffy B. preached that he believed game experiences should be shorter, more concise and visceral like a movie, and as far as I'm concerned, he delivered just that. Gears of War almost completely lacks any "funk" that is in a way endearing about other games, little quirks that "huminize" the game if you will. Gears of War is a clean, concise, in your face experience that is more quality than quantity. Some times when something is so natural feeling, its not even noticed at all. I for one have consciously thought little of Gears and have trouble choosing to play it over some so-called "Deeper" experiences like Oblivion or Final Fantasy, but once I turn it on and pick up the controller, I feel the power of the experience: sheer visceral exileration. Gears of War is quality over quantiy and nearly perfectly balanced gameplay. It is truly an achievement and needed to be recognised as such.

"Heh, I'd like to see what would happen if a group of gamer fans created an awards show that would have the results online, chances are they would be more accurate, and believable than most of the "official" game awards"

Yeah I'm sure alot of those generic internet polls are better judges of what developers think. Aside from the fact that they are professionals, why should their opinions matter to anyone? Seriously ... This is about what they think deserves to win.

Even EA is jealous of Gears. PS3 fanboys are just pissed cause they have nothing to play. If gears was on ps3 those same haters would praise it .

Heh, I'd like to see what would happen if a group of gamer fans created an awards show that would have the results online, chances are they would be more accurate, and believable than most of the "official" game awards. To me if you have to pay a fee to be nominated that's like bribing the judge, it's pathetic. GeoW is a good game, and did deserve some of those awards, not art direction but like online game and such like that. And with the GotY, it would for me pretty much be a coin toss between it and Oblivion, both games are deserving.

so much gears hating don't say it didn't deserve multiplayer and compare it to unpolished games like rainbow six and GRAW, gears coop crushes both of those, probably because rainbow coop has no story elements, and no save pionts and sucks, probably because GRAWS coop has the worst AI in the history of the world, probably because graws general multiplayer is slow vanilla and boring(i'm a huge tomclancy fan and i own pretty much every game but this one was bad). rianbow six is very fun, but i really felt that even if gears deathmatch is simple the difference in feeling while playing was fantastic, simple but really fun deathmatch, plus best coop of the last decade, that is why gears rocked the multiplayer gold this year. as for okami being MIA that deserved art. i can't believe it isn't included is that because the devs closed down so they didn't consider it since dice is about honoring peers and they didn't want to waste the award on a closed studio, RIP.

"jooohnnny:
Haters haters haters......Gears is the BEST game out there, and none of your little small minded nagative opions matter or going to change the fact that they walked away with all the awards......Sure there are some othere good games out there but none came close to gears and what the team at epic pulled off so suck it up and shut it...... "

Maybe if you read all the post you'll see that a) There are people out there with a 360 who don't like the game, people who have played it and didn't think much to it. Not everyone who hates the game is a PS3 fanboy with nothing better to do, although there are plenty of them as well. b) A lot of other games out there had valid arguments for them to be voted Game of the Year and if you took your "Gear is Da Best" blinkers off you might find one or two of them yourself. Who's holding "small minded negative(correct spelling) opinions(also correct spelling)" now?

So suck it up and GROW up child, your giving 360 owners a bad name.

Oblivion got totally robbed.

Yeah sure, GOW is a good game. It has excellent graphics, good controls, and decent multi player, but if you look under the surface it's just a highly polished shooter that you've probably played countless times. It's pretty much like Halo with some minor tactical Rainbow Six type stuff thrown in.
I fail to see anything totally new or innovative at all in Gears. Essentially it's shoot anything that moves, duck behind cover, find new weapons (all five or so of them) while looking at pretty textures. Repeat ad nauseum. It's totally linear and has little replay value in single player mode. And the story is predictible and cliche- "Huge,tough guy single handedly saves planet from aliens/locust hords/robots using an arsenal of super guns."

In my mind, Oblivion is revolutionary. The only games that really even come close are the other Elder Scrolls games and even they are a long shot.
Oblivion is the single most immersive game in history. When you play Olblivion you really feel like you're a working cog in the vast machinery of an open world that lets you do almost anything. It's as non-linear as you like or as quest based as you want it to be. No one tells you have to play as Marcus Fenix- you can be whoever the hell you want to be. Want to be the hero and save the world from the proverbial "Locust Horde"? Go for it. Want to help destroy this world, do that as well if you wish. Want to lolly gag around and just explore? Knock yourself out.
GOW is: shoot bad guy, pick from a small number of well though out super weapons, kill all bad guys, go to next level. No options,no freedom,. You might as well watch a movie.
