Actually, Gears had almost no story at all and what little it did have either had no background (Phoenix in prison) or incredibly cliche (OMG! aliens/others attack and humans are on the virge of extinction!). I'm not saying it was a bad game, far from it (my personal pick for GOTY actually), but the games story wasn't a selling point.
As for Wii sports, it was nominated because it brought about an entire new group of gamers and allowed to play as you never played before. It definately deserved to be on that list. Just because somethings a minigame doesn't automatically make it bad.
