Gears of War 3 to me is the one I'm much more excited for.  I LOVED Uncharted 1 and 2 but probably not as much as it seems many did.  Uncharted 2 is easily one of the better games of this gen but to me Gears of War is the best new IP of the generation so far.

I'll be getting both day 1 but IMO Gears just has the PERFECT gunplay for a TPS and will have an incredible extensive online component.  Plus Gears of War campaign Co-Op with a buddy IMO is the best co-op experience of any game on any console.

That being said I can already predict Uncharted 3 will easily win this pole.  Sony fans dominate the site so hopefull we can get some good discussion going on in here but given past threads on similar things I wouldn't be too optimistic.

There you go, now that we fixed that, on with the discussion. I liked Gears 1 more than I did 2. Fighting Berserkers in 1 for the first time (and in co-op) was so much fun, especially when you are inside the building when you don't have the Hammer of Dawn immediately usable. Fighting on the train was also the highlight of that game to me. The characters felt too much like tanks with very little mobility though, and the shotgun problems in 2's multiplayer turned me off really quick. Furthermore there were no real moments that gave that UMPH to part 2 for me, although the emotional moment in the Locusts' caves was well done. 2 didn't offer much improvement although it was still fun.

On Uncharted's side 2 was a fairly big improvement to 1. 2 had online multiplayer (which I have enjoyed) which 1 didn't. 2 also had more edge of your seat moments with a bit more stealth involved, more enemies, some faster paced battles, excellent story and character dynamics. Enjoyed minor additions to the weapons along with shooting while climbing and other tweaked aspects to combat. In the end because of the noticeable improvements ND has made, plus the demo Wow'ing me, I have faith in ND improving even further.
