The inspid and heavy handed story in games like Gears of War and God of War is precisely why I dislike those games so strongly.

Yeah, Gears really doesn't really have a story, and if it does, it's far from heavy handed. One of the reasons I enjoyed it actually. Stories typically have a beginning, middle, and end. Gears has a middle, and not much else. There's a few pointless cut-scenes where stuff I presume the creator's thought looked bad ass happened, and some minor crap about what you're doing, but you can mostly skip all that.

If this is what you believe, then you clearly haven't seen Cliffy B comment on the game. He compares his work to Hamlet. I'm not kidding.
