no Scribblenauts, Forza3 or even New Super Mario Bros 4 in the nominees = instant fail. heck i though Lost Planet 2 would make it on the list just because its pure awesomness. i really don't understand this GOW3 hype after demo it looks exactly like GOW1 and 2 just a bit shinier and with more gore here and there.

But....you just quoted that Forza 3 had to be in there. GoW3 is different from it's predecessors just like Forza 3 is, so you should be able to understand its inclusion if you want Forza 3 to get a mention.

i mean that there's not much new on the table in GOW3 if there is anything new actually besides graphics. Forza 3 brings a lot to the table if we're talking bout racing games on the consoles and is a huge step up in the series(new physics, ability to flip you car, cockpit view, tire deformation,  user friendly gameplay, video editor etc.) GOW3 - not so much.

 

I'm not the biggest fan of God of War, but it does try to bring some new things to the game.  For example, items such as the bow no longer use your magic meter, but use their own seperate item meter that automatically recharges.  Not sure if there is still a magic system inplace, or if all "magic" are now items.  They are trying to put a bigger emphasis on the different weapons, to encourage players to freely switch between them as the combat situation changes.  They are adding bigger hordes, and the possibility of those hordes dog-piling the player.  There are "captains" such as the centaur who will command the troops.  Taking out the captain will supposedly make the lesser soldiers more disorganized.

Of course, I haven't played the game, so I can't really say how big of a game changer these features are.  But it's pretty silly to dismiss God of War 3 as just God of War 2 with better graphics when I could easily say the same thing about Forza 3.  I mean, you race cars in Forza 3, just like you do in Forza 2.  Must mean Forza 3 brings nothing new to the table right?
