God of War came first, so it gained GoW, Gears came second so it gets GeoW
Anyway, GooW sounds stupid, GeoW is much more simple, and Gears is quicker to write if you just want to give one of them an acronym. As for reviews {metacritic}:
God of War: 94
God of War 2: 93
GoW: Chains of Olympus: 91
Gears of War: 94
Gears of War 2: 93
So if we are just comparing console versions they have the same reviews, but Gears wins if we include GoW CoO, but then of course GoW is larger than GeoW by the fact that more games have been released on more platforms, so it has reached a larger audience....
