I chose God of War. Just for the fact that it spawned more clones of itself than Gears did.

I argue against that, actually. Many games have incorporated a cover system reminiscent of the Gears-style cover system (yes, I'm aware Kill.switch had one first).

They both have their clones, but I'd say Gears has a good deal more (Dark Void, Quantum Theory, MindJack, & Inversion) are just a few that come to mind.

Those games aren't complete ripoffs of Gears though and MindJack is actually an illusion of a game. Games like Dante's Inferno and Green Lantern are basically God of War starring other characters.

Yes, but very few games are like God of War though. Gears has many more titles with some type of ripoff or inpsiration of it's playstyles in some way.

Even then God of War inspired more games and playstyles. Look at all the games that have QTEs now. Even Kingdom Hearts 2 implemented QTEs.

The games I've played that play like GOW: Dante's Inferno, Green  Lantern, Darksiders, Conan, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Heavenly Sword, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Brutal Legends (with some RTS and free-roaming thrown in).

I'm pretty sure QTEs were around before God of War. I can agree to disagree though, because I just don't think too many games are like God of War (and I've played just about all the titles you mentioned).

Yeah, I think the first one was Dragon's Lair waaaay back in the day, but God of War in my opinion caused the explosion of QTE implentation seen in the last 6 years.

I will also agree to disagree. But next time it's your ass......
