gears of war didn't define anything

uncharted defined graphical cinematic gaming

call of duty defined and basically created the massive online community there is today

all gears was is just a great game no doubt i love it but it never amazed me like uncharted did and the online was never as enjoying as cod

Are you just that ignorant and sad?

Gears Of War defined HD graphics. In xmas 2006 Gears Of War blew everyone away with the first true HD graphics to make people stand up and pay attention. 

2ndly it defined Co-op gameing. You know Campaign coop. It was a HUGE selling point of it's time. 

If it wasnt for Gears of War Uncharted would have used their original control system. Which Uncharted devs admitted were nowhere near as good. 

Gears Of War defined alot for this gen. Or you have seriously bad memory.

i agree mostly, but as for the bolded, source?

uncharted came out about a year after gears, devs dont change gameplay much in that time, that part of the dev cycle is refinement and optimization of the game. the core gameplay, set pieces, and story are all already set. so i doubt uncharted changed much if at all in the gameplay department becasue of gears

edit: and are you now trying to say gears invented its type of cover system, really? and that uncharted copied it?
