Nobody mentions Resistance 2?

No, it's a great game, but it's not Gears. I say Gears of War 2, but R2 does have a shot.

 

Yes but this is MS discussion forum , that is probably why.

 

Actually, it's because R2 probably doesn't have a shot from a critical perspective, or from sales. I'm sure the odd site would give shooter of the year to the odd game, but what I assumed was that we were judging the most universally accepted shooter of the year, and though R2 has a chance, it's slim to none, imo.

Essentially thats why I didn't Include R2. Because if I had I would have also had to include - Dead Space, Farcry 2, and Call of Duty 5 and make it a 5 way. Low 90s/high 80s shooters aren't likely contenders for shooter of the year anyway.
