Going off band wagoning alone is kind of silly. I mean I really don't care that Madonna sold however many million albums, I still think she sucks, and don't think she should take over the term Madonna from the virgin mary just because Mary never rolled around half naked at the MTV movie awards singing like a virgin (she didn't have to because she WAS a virgin, not like one).
It's pretty simple really, God of War was first, is a better game and has more then earned being the preeminent GoW. Also God of War makes sense as a name and really needs that title (after all Kratos first killed then became just that, god of war). Gears of War is a kind of strange and arbitrary title that, as far as I can tell from playing through the first one, has nothing to do with...anything except the logo they came up with. Gears of War seems to suggest some cool steampunk title, which Gears of War most certainly is not.

God > Gears ? I don't know about that but GOW will still always be God of War to me.
Yeah, I agree with you Squilliam, God of War > GeoW, no question.
-God of War was first
-Everyone calls Gears of War 'Gears' anyway; you can't just call God of War 'God'
-?????
-So, God of War gets GoW

I'm pretty sure the Virgin Mary is still more popular then Madonna.
I thought people reffered to Gears of War as just Gears for short and God of War as GOW.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.

In which case... Gears still wins so uh.... Well to be fair they are both games with good gameplay and crappy stories. However at least Gears doesn't pretend it's story is good. |
But, MARIA!

I would agree basing this solely from Gears 1 but have you played Gears 2? There was a much greater effort to push the story and, in my opinion, it was very poorly executed.
Also, I would argue that the story telling is far greater in God of War than it is in Gears, regardless of the actual story.
